Search Home About Infineon Sustainability Environmental Sustainability and Climate Protection Energy Energy Efficiency and Climate Protection Efficient energy management is a key issue in the world’s attempts to save energy, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and deal with climate change challenges. At Infineon, energy is used mainly in the form of electricity at all steps of semiconductor manufacturing. Primary energy sources, such as oil and gas, play only a minor part. The majority of energy is consumed in our frontend manufacturing sites. There, energy is required to operate the production equipment, and also to maintain highly sophisticated physical conditions, such as the particularly necessary stable climatic conditions in Infineon’s cleanrooms. Due to their nature, backend processes require far less energy than frontend processes, followed by the development and office sites, which consume the smallest percentage. We have implemented the systematic energy management system standard, ISO 50001, at our main manufacturing sites. Improving energy efficiency means reducing specific energy consumption, this is the energy consumed per manufactured production unit. Infineon’s global energy efficiency program “Energy 2020” applies to all sites and help us to identify and implement further areas of potential improvement. Therefore, we are continuously analyzing options for boosting energy efficiency and adopting, whenever possible, renewable energy sources at our sites. We're proud to have joined RE100 Infineon has joined the global corporate renewable energy initiative RE100, and has committed to using only 100% renewable energy in the future. RE100 is a global initiative bringing together the world’s most influential businesses committed to 100% renewable power. Led by international non-profit the Climate Group in partnership with CDP, the group have a total revenue of over US$6.6 trillion and operate in a diverse range of sectors. Together, they send a powerful signal to policymakers and investors to accelerate the transition to a clean economy. Know more in our Sustainability Report page 27-28.

Search Home About Infineon Energy efficiency technologies Energy efficiency in heavy-duty vehicles (CAVs) - Infineon Enabling energy efficient heavy duty vehicles Heavy duty commercial, construction and agricultural vehicles (CAVs) such as long-haul trucks, dump trucks, buses, harvesters, tracked vehicles and forklifts have to meet special requirements: Besides reliability, durability and profitability, they have to be eco-friendly and energy efficient. Although there are many more passenger vehicles on the roads, heavy duty vehicles such as trucks and buses account for around 27% of CO₂ emissions in road transport, representing around 6% of all CO₂ emissions in the EU.
