Today, Intel Corporation announced plans to further reduce its direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions and develop more sustainable technology solutions. The company pledged to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions in its global operations by 2040, to increase the energy efficiency and lower the carbon footprint of Intel products and platforms with specific goals, and to work with customers and industry partners to create solutions that lower the greenhouse gas footprint of the entire technology ecosystem.

"The impact of climate change is an urgent global threat. Protecting our planet demands immediate action and fresh thinking about how the world operates. As one of the world's leading semiconductor design and manufacturing companies, Intel is in a unique position to make a difference not only in our own operations, but in a way that makes it easier for customers, partners and our whole value chain to take meaningful action too," said Pat Gelsinger, Intel chief executive officer.



Intel is committing to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its operations, otherwise known as its Scope 1 and 2 emissions, by 2040. Intel's priority is to actively reduce its emissions, in line with international standards and climate science. It will use credible carbon offsets to achieve its goal only if other options are exhausted.

To realize this ambitious goal, Intel has set the following interim milestones for 2030:
  • Achieve 100% renewable electricity use across its global operations.
  • Invest approximately $300 million in energy conservation at its facilities to achieve 4 billion cumulative kilowatt hours of energy savings.
  • Build new factories and facilities to meet U.S. Green Building Council LEED program standards, including recently announced investments in the U.S., Europe and Asia.
  • Launch a cross-industry R&D initiative to identify greener chemicals with lower global warming potential and to develop new abatement equipment.
These targets strengthen Intel's commitment to sustainable business practices, like its RISE strategy. Intel's cumulative greenhouse gas emissions over the past decade are nearly 75% lower than they would have been in the absence of investments and action.

"Intel has been a leader in sustainability results for decades. With leadership comes responsibility. We're now raising the bar and entering an exciting era to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across our operations by 2040," said Keyvan Esfarjani, executive vice president and chief global operations officer at Intel. "This will require significant innovation and investment, but we are committed to do what it takes and will work with the industry to achieve this critical mission."

What It Means for Intel's Scope 3 Emissions: Intel is also committed to addressing climate impacts throughout its upstream and downstream value chain, also known as Scope 3 emissions. Intel's Scope 3 strategy focuses on partnering with suppliers and customers to take aggressive action to reduce overall emissions.

What This Means for Intel's Supply Chain: Intel is actively engaged with its suppliers to identify areas of improvement, including increasing supplier focus on energy conservation and renewable energy sourcing, increasing chemical and resource efficiencies, and leading cross-industry consortia to support the transition to a net-zero greenhouse gas semiconductor manufacturing value chain. To accelerate progress, Intel is committed to partnering with suppliers to drive supply chain greenhouse gas emissions to at least 30% lower by 2030 than they would be in the absence of investment and action.

What It Means for Intel's Products: To support customer sustainability goals and reduce Scope 3 product-use greenhouse gas emissions, Intel will increase the energy efficiency of its products and continue to drive performance improvements the market demands. Intel is setting a new goal to achieve a five times increase in performance per watt for its next generation CPU-GPU, Falcon Shores. The company remains committed to its 2030 goal to increase product energy efficiency by 10 times for client and server microprocessors.

To help customers achieve platform carbon reductions, Intel is extending innovation in:
  • The layout, selection and modularity of all internal components to reduce the size of main boards.
  • Continued increases in system energy efficiency and display efficiency to significantly reduce overall power consumption.
  • The use of bio-based printed circuit boards to aid in the separation of materials and components when recycling, and to reduce overall electronic waste.
Intel has also set a new goal to lower emissions related to reference platform designs for client form factors by 30% or more by 2030. These efforts are taking shape with Dell's Concept Luna prototype device, developed in partnership with Intel to showcase future possibilities for sustainable PC design.

"Collaboration is key if we want to find solutions to the significant environmental issues the world is grappling with. Intel has been an important partner in this regard, helping us drive joint innovation supporting motherboard optimization, development of the bio-based printed circuit board and increasing system power efficiency in our Concept Luna device," said Glen Robson, chief technology officer for the Client Solutions Group, Dell Technologies. "The ambition behind this ongoing work is to test, prove and evaluate opportunities to roll out innovative, sustainable design ideas at scale across our portfolio - it's the only way we will sufficiently accelerate the circular economy and protect our planet for the generations to come."

Clearly you do... And most people should, btw.

I applaud their efforts, but can’t help but point out the issue of them building a crypto ASIC that will still use a lot of power that we could put to better use in the long term, or not use at all while we get more people onto clean base load. Or the fact they built a hot, power thirsty chip just to try and keep their epeen crown.

Not one bit.
You care enough to report in and let the world know how much you "dont care".

Honestly, think of how much one must care to feel the need to leave such a comment.
I mean of aaaaall the articles that passed through here in the last year, you only commented on this one and Alderlake-X.....so yeah...you care a ton about this

The issue is the fluorocarbons used in the manufacturing process. They have very high GWP and will need some serious technological improvements to get away from using fluorocarbons in manufacturing.

Why should we care?
I like my home planet to not cook me alive like last year, thanks. I never want to see my home city at 113F again. And I almost certainly will, probably this year.

There is a fair bit of irony in every anouncement like this from a tech company yes. But the direction matters.

EDIT: Yes, last year in the Pacific Northwest was hilariously lethal, thanks. People literally died. Very funny.

Something something we have just one planet..., for example?
Okay then.
The earth's climate has been changing for millenia.

I feel like it has to be pretty boring to be a reactionary climate change denier in 2022. Kinda figured most people moved on from that basic conversation years ago. It's wading in the kiddie pool of a subject as wide, deep, and full of minutia as the ocean itself. The whole drive-by comment thing is not impressive to anyone with a cursory understanding of the subject at this point in history. No matter what you think about it, there is plenty to digest and talk about.

I mean, man... c'mon! Intel making big promises? Why not take the cynicism and put it to use really delving into something, like a corporation with a track record for under-delivering, who is now touting big environmental goals? Plenty to discuss about the actual subject, but we're not there because of a couple lames gassing off.

It's the hovering on the surface and acting like you're saying something that people should pay attention to. We could be talking about something more real, something with at least a little more meat to it and a more workable range of information. That's not what those twitter takes are about though. This is why I say being a reactionary makes you a boring person. You wind up spending your time getting off on negativity and meaninglessness. There's just no way to spin that to other people as a cool way to spend your time.

Not worth the time. I just see people who struggle in their relationships with meaning. And I'm being as real as I can possibly be about that. To project the void is to become it. If people like their online interactions being inflammatory and ultimately meaningless and unsatisfying for them and the people they talk to, that's them, but it's a dark choice, and it brings in the festering. Normal people will avoid people who talk like that in real life. It's a mentality that only takes away. Social vampire behavior.

The earth's climate has been changing for millenia.

Yeah, but not like the drastic co2 changes we're seeing lately. This is now well established, I for one have personally felt the impacts, and this is neither the time nor the place to debate it.

If you really want to educate yourself, there's always this remarkably acurate xkcd on climate:


The tl;dr of it is we are already fucked, so please take action to ensure we don't become massively dead and fucked.

EDIT: I see one member here happens to find death hillarious. So funny, he aparently has nothing to do but sit at this thread all day and promptly emoji laugh at those who see the sad writing on the wall.

Hi,
Tough to take climate change warriors seriously when they keep building huge homes in their proposed flood zones and fly all over the place daily

Walk the talk, but really it's just the color of money to them to = Green :laugh:

Siri remind me to build my huge home in a proposed flood zone, thanks. Also, book a flight to somewhere just because I love to travel (oh wait, Millenials aren't traveling statistically, but who cares about facts?)

I live 500ft above sealevel. Must be doing this "green" stereotype wrong.

Also, not sure if you've noticed but most of the world is taking us seriously now. It's deniers that have become the sideshow at this carnival.

Banning the purchase, sale, and registration of 2030 or later models, not cars on the road already

bad trolls bad at trolling :(


In a signal of industry support, the president was joined on the South Lawn by the chief executives of the nation’s three largest automakers, as well as the head of the United Auto Workers. The automakers pledged that 40 to 50 percent of their new car sales would be electric vehicles by 2030, up from just 2 percent this year, on the condition that Congress passes a spending bill that includes billions of dollars for a national network of electric vehicle charging stations, as well as tax credits to make it cheaper for companies to build the cars and consumers to buy them.

oh no future inevitable much cry :fear:

I see Washington state is going to ban gas powered vehicles by 2030. Have fun with that.
We're cheap hydro-plethora land so one of the few places it can actually work, so yeah, it'll be a blast.

Banning the purchase, sale, and registration of 2030 or later models, not cars on the road already
This, excactly. Oh no no new gas guzzelers, even fricikin Ford is already moving that way of it's own free will so it's really nothing big.


TBF I think @ThrashZone was referring to board members and executives and their greenwashing, which is totally fair IMO, but maybe I’m wrong (hard to tell with thrash)
If this is the case I'll recant my sarcasm because that is a bit of a legit point... but only on a small bit of a very nuanced issue.
