Fraunhofer IZM Develops CO2 Metrics for Semiconductor Products with SEMI
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.

Fraunhofer IZM, in collaboration with SEMI, is developing standardized CO2 emissions metrics for semiconductor products across the supply chain, with initial recommendations set for implementation by March 2027. The automotive industry’s internal emissions data serves as a model.
The initiative aims to provide transparent and comparable Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) metrics to help semiconductor manufacturers meet climate neutrality goals. Interest in reliable emissions data has been identified among over 25 companies, particularly cloud providers and data center operators.
The new metrics will enable tracking emissions from individual semiconductors to data center hardware. A preliminary report has been prepared to emphasize the significance of transparent data, uniform calculation methods, and standardized formats for data exchange, drawing inspiration from the automotive industry's
