A study by researchers from the European research organization GeSI showed that the integration of IT technology into key industries such as manufacturing, construction, transportation, agriculture and other fields can further improve energy efficiency and reduce energy consumption. According to its research, every unit invested in the most advanced ICT technology will bring about 10 units of carbon footprint reduction. This means that increasing the integration and application of ICT products or technologies can well achieve carbon emissions reduction.
　　 "The products and solutions of Intel and other elites in the technology industry can help the whole society to achieve the goal of sustainable development. There are many opportunities in the ICT industry in this regard." said ToddBrady, Director of Global Public Affairs and Sustainability, Corporate Services Department of Intel Corporation.
In May, Intel released the 2020~2021 Corporate Social Responsibility Report, which emphasized Intel’s 2030 RISE (Responsible, responsibility; Inclusive; Sustainable; sustainable; Enabling, enabling) strategy and goals that Intel released last year. Progress made. Intel is committed to building a better performance evaluation system, hoping to have a positive impact on the environment.
　　In the face of sustainable development, no one (enterprise) can stay aloof. As the world's leading technology company, Intel actually has a dual "task" in this regard: one is to reduce carbon by itself; the other is to promote carbon reduction in industries, the latter includes supply chains, industrial chains, and traditional industries.
In the 2030 RISE strategy, there are two parts to sustainable development: on the one hand, it is the hope to reduce its own carbon footprint, on the other hand, it is the hope to significantly expand the technological "handprint"-the so-called "handprint" is to use the most advanced and innovative technology Help relevant parties to reduce their carbon footprint.
　　 One is the enterprise itself. Intel has achieved 82% renewable energy utilization globally, and 100% renewable energy use has been achieved in Malaysia and Israel. In the past five years, Intel has purchased more than 26 billion kilowatt-hours of green energy. In addition, chip manufacturing is one of Intel's cores. From 2016 to 2020, Intel’s chip manufacturing capabilities have been greatly enhanced, and greenhouse gas emissions have increased overall, but the carbon emissions generated during the manufacturing process of a single chip have been decreasing. It is estimated that in 2030, Intel's carbon emissions may be reduced by 1/3, but manufacturing capacity is expected to increase by 3 times.
　　 The second is industry and industry. Such as the expansion of technical fingerprints, the integration and application of smart technologies including ICT, such as smart buildings, smart infrastructure, smart cars, smart manufacturing, etc. In 2000, Intel began to voluntarily carry out energy conservation and emission reduction in the semiconductor industry, and signed relevant agreements with the World Semiconductor Association and others, hoping to achieve the goal of decarbonization in the entire industry. Compared with 20 years ago, the carbon dioxide emitted by each chip produced is now reduced by 80%. That is, the semiconductor industry has been promoting decarbonization for 20 years, while other industries have only just begun. "The current challenge is how to use the latest technology to achieve the remaining 20% emission reduction target." ToddBrady said.
