Fraunhofer IZM, in partnership with SEMI, is developing standardized CO2 emissions metrics for semiconductor products, aiming for initial implementation by March 2027. This initiative, inspired by the automotive industry's internal emissions data, seeks to provide transparent Product Carbon Footprint metrics to assist semiconductor manufacturers in achieving climate neutrality. Over 25 companies, particularly in cloud and data center sectors, have expressed interest in reliable emissions data to track emissions from individual semiconductors to hardware.
