Semiconductors are driving the sustainability transition but how can we make their manufacture greener? Join Reinier Richters, Strategic Advisor and Sector Sustainability Lead at Deerns, as he discusses the opportunities and challenges at ISCC 24 in Milan.
Present in sustainable innovations including wind turbines, electric vehicles and smart grids; semiconductors are helping us achieve a more sustainable future. But their manufacture is far from green.
The creation of ever more powerful microchips requires increasingly complex processes. These demand significant increases in energy and water consumption and lead to the release of greenhouse gases and other chemicals.
Reinier says: “There are many opportunities for improvement and innovation in the manufacturing process. This includes using greener chemistry, clean energy, recycling and reuse, water
conservation and waste reduction. To have an impact, these changes must involve collaboration and initiatives throughout the supply chain.”
