Towards Net-Zero Electronics

The electronics industry accounts for over 4% of global greenhouse gas emissions, driven by digitization and automation. This report focuses on energy efficiency in final assembly, testing, and packaging (FATP) facilities, noting that leading companies have achieved up to 30% energy savings in existing facilities with minimal costs. The analysis provides a guide for FATP operations and other industries using similar HVAC, compressed air, and lighting systems to implement scalable energy-saving solutions.

• The electronics industry contributes more than 4 percent of the world's greenhouse gas emissions, with growth driven by automation and digitization.
• Implementing energy-efficiency measures in existing electronics manufacturing facilities can lead to energy savings of up to 30 percent while requiring minimal costs.
