Towards Net-Zero Electronics

This report examines energy efficiency in electronics manufacturing, specifically within final assembly, testing, and packaging (FATP) facilities. It notes that the electronics industry accounts for over 4% of global greenhouse gas emissions and highlights that energy-efficiency measures can reduce energy use in existing facilities by up to 30% at minimal cost.

• The electronics industry contributes more than 4 percent of the world's greenhouse gas emissions, driven by the expansion of digitization and automation.
• Implementing energy-efficiency measures in existing electronics manufacturing facilities can lead to energy savings of up to 30 percent with minimal costs, offering a way to reduce operational expenses and meet climate goals.
• The report focuses on energy efficiency strategies for final assembly, testing, and packaging (FATP) facilities, providing insights applicable to FATP and other industries using similar HVAC, lighting, and compressed air systems.
