Presentation Title
Power to Decarbonize
Presentation Abstract
Semiconductors have been the driving force in the most hyped global trends such as 5G, IoT and artificial intelligence. Size and capacity of manufacturing facilities have been multiplying to meet the new complexity of chip design and global demand. Consequently, so has the consumption of natural resources of these facilities.
Exyte with our team of experts have estimated, fabs will emit over 150 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent by year 2030 if we are to stay on our current trajectory. Here we explore the importance of energy mix and how does it affect our strategy as we strive to meet the limits set internationally by the COP21 Paris Agreement.
