Global Semiconductor Carbon Emissions Forecast, 2025-2030
To set the bar for semiconductor sustainability and provide analysis and leadership to address the industry's carbon footprint, TechInsights has developed the Global Semiconductor Carbon Emissions Forecast, 2025-2030.
A Single Product for Cradle-to-Gate Sustainability Insights
EcoInsights is a comprehensive solution designed to help semiconductor companies drive significant environmental progress. With EcoInsights, users can quickly calculate the carbon footprint of over 20,000 integrated circuits (ICs) with cradle-to-gate transparency. It provides detailed insights into emissions from die manufacturing, packaging, and transportation. By identifying areas for improvement, companies can make data-driven decisions to reduce their environmental impact.
This powerful suite offers three integrated modules that deliver the data and tools needed for informed sustainability choices.
The Manufacturing Carbon Module is the first of its kind to detail Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 carbon emissions by fab, location, wafer, and die. It combines equipment, processes, and manufacturing steps for Logic, DRAM, NAND, as well as select Gallium Nitride (GaN) and Silicon Carbide (SiC) processes, into a single model for over 225 fabs globally.
The Packaging+ Carbon Module lets you calculate the carbon footprint of almost 29,000 ICs with standardized calculations based on packaging type, die size, and other factors. Get detailed analysis of Scope 1 and 2 from die manufacturing and Scope 2 and 3 emissions from packaging to track the impact of your entire supply chain.
The Carbon Analyzer Module offers a product-level overview of all integrated circuits in a device and their carbon footprints, down to the packaged IC level. It simplifies benchmarking and comparing semiconductor products and manufacturers on key sustainability metrics by detailing their environmental impact at both the component and function levels.

EcoInsights Supports Your Business in Its Sustainability Reporting
Covering more than 225 fabs, EcoInsights is a vital sustainability tool providing the detailed modeling and benchmarking that supports many areas of the semiconductor value chain, including:
- Capital Equipment vendors see value with readily assessable CO2e, water consumption and electricity usage at the fab, wafer and die level for 225 fabs and "one-click reporting".
- Foundries can use the editable fields for scenario analysis; and facilitates understanding of abatement on carbon emissions and electricity consumption, as well as run competitor comparisons.
- Fabless vendors can leverage "one button cradle-to-gate" reporting for 20,000+ IC products torn down by TechInsights. The tool also enables scenario analysis.
- Integrated Device Manufacturers (IDMs) use the tool to support key design decisions and evaluate investment decisions for new equipment and tools.
- Product Manufacturers use the Manufacturing Carbon Module provides key inputs into cradle-to-grave analysis and reporting.
- Automotive Manufacturers use the Manufacturing Carbon Module to understand the carbon emissions associated with electronic components being used in vehicles, in conjunction with costing information from TechInsights’ Strategic Cost and Price Model.
