Reducing Greenhouse Gases In Manufacturing
By Jessica Albright - 19 May, 2022 - Comments: 0

Businesses must reduce their environmental impact. One of the most significant ways to do this is by reducing their carbon footprint, and this starts with monitoring carbon emissions. Carbon emissions are responsible for 81% of overall greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and businesses are responsible for a lot of it. The rest of the GHG emissions are methane (10%), nitrous oxide (7%) and fluorin... » read more

Eco-Friendly Initiatives For Semiconductor Sustainability
By Jessica Albright - 22 Jul, 2021 - Comments: 0

Global warming is a hot topic lately, pun intended, contributing to an over 2-degree temperature increase in the last two centuries—which might not seem significant until you factor in the larger stress it puts on our ecosystem (and economy): fire threats, water shortages, and increases in natural disasters. In the last four decades, damages from climate disasters have cost the US 2 trillion... » read more

Is AI Good Or Bad For The Planet?
By Dennis Laudick - 13 May, 2021 - Comments: 0
