French research group CEA-Leti has identified nine areas for sustainable electronics that will be key to reducing the carbon footprint of the industry over the next decade. The aim is to improve energy efficiency in microelectronic hardware and systems by a factor of 1,000 by 2030 to tackle a predicted explosion in data centre power consumption.

Market research from IDC showed that electronic systems generated more than 64 zettabytes of data in 2020, a figure that is expected to exceed 2,000 zettabytes by 2035.

"This escalation results from the fact that data is increasingly generated by machines, while in 2018, only 44 percent of the data was produced by humans. It is expected that by 2022, 90 percent of all the data will be generated by machines (machine-to-machine communications) and by hundreds of billions of connected objects around the world" says the report.

The next generation of 6G networks will potentially add to this data deluge adn be a challenge for sustainable electronics. "6G networks will have to address the need for greater performance but not at any price" said Jean-René Lèquepeys, CTO of CEA-Leti.
