SEMI and the Semiconductor Climate Consortium (SCC) have created the Energy Collaborative (EC) to understand and clear roadblocks to the installation of low-carbon energy sources in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region. Aiming to reduce global semiconductor ecosystem carbon emissions, the EC is a collective of industry leaders who will provide a consolidated view of priorities for low-carbon energy in the region.

"Sharing resources to start this foundational semiconductor industry sustainability work now is important to enable wider access to low-carbon energy in the next five to ten years," said Young Bae, SCC Governing Council member and sponsor for the SCC Scope 2 Working Group, and Global Business Director, Advanced Cleans Technologies at DuPont. "One of the key action areas the SCC has identified is the lack of low-carbon energy plans and actions in the Asia-Pacific region. The EC will help the SCC by accelerating investments to broaden access."

The EC sponsoring companies will anchor the collective's work to engage in roundtables and fact-finding sessions. Initial sponsors include Applied Materials, AMD, ASE, ASML, JSR, Lam Research, Macquarie Group, Samsung Electronics, TotalEnergies, and TSMC.

McKinsey & Company is a Knowledge Partner to the initiative, providing fact-based analysis and support.

"The semiconductor value chain and its downstream partners and customers have a pivotal role to play in the acceleration of low-carbon energy installations, due to their scale in high-priority markets and the extent to which they will drive growth in future energy demands," stated Ajit Manocha, President and CEO of SEMI. "To reach the emissions reductions goals of the sector, a step function change in ambition and action is required. The EC is focused on that goal – increasing the pace and scaling of access to low-carbon energy."
