Chip Carbon Footprints Depend on Fab Emission Allocation
Original: Chip Carbon Footprints Depend on How Fabs Allocate Emissions
A new analysis finds that the carbon footprint of semiconductors varies significantly depending on how chip fabrication plants allocate their emissions across products. Because fabs consume large amounts of energy and use potent gases, accounting choices can substantially change the reported footprint of individual chips, affecting how companies and buyers assess the environmental impact of semiconductor supply chains.
Why now: Growing scrutiny of tech supply chain emissions is drawing attention to how semiconductor manufacturers account for their carbon output.
