Semiconductor industry outlook: Decarbonizing operations amid rising demand

Semiconductors are the foundation of modern technological progress and in rising demand around the world. Their manufacturing currently accounts for about 0.3% of global CO₂ with manufacturing-related emissions projected to grow by about 5% annually. This makes decarbonization not just important, but urgent. In this report, semiconductor industry leaders outline their strategies, progress, and concrete actions to decarbonize operations, increase energy efficiency, strengthen resilience, and protect both people and critical assets.

Based on proprietary data from the Infrastructure Transition Monitor, this study demonstrates how electrification, renewable energy, digitalization, and data-driven management tools are essential to creating more resilient, sustainable, and safe and secure production environments.

What you’ll learn:

• Why 64% of semiconductor industry leaders expect to increase their investments in electrification
• How digital building technologies ensure operational efficiency and continuity
• Why digitalization improves workforce health and safety and prevents operations disruptions
• How WONIK Holdings benefits from centralizing its monitoring of more than 300 alarm points
• How Coherent achieved $16 million in energy savings over the past five years
