SCC Webinar: Cost Benefit Calculator

June 16, 2026

The semiconductor industry is under increasing pressure to decarbonize its operations, particularly with regard to Scope 1 emissions — direct greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) from owned or controlled sources. Yet many companies face a persistent challenge: how to make a clear, consistent, and financially credible case for emissions reduction investments. To help address this need, the Semiconductor Climate Consortium (SCC) has developed a Cost-Benefit Calculator — a simplified and flexible tool that offers a structured starting point for evaluating carbon emissions reduction projects. The calculator enables users to estimate the Net Present Cost (NPC) per ton of CO₂ equivalent emissions reduction, helping to translate environmental impact into business-relevant terms.

Join the SEMI's Semiconductor Climate Consortium (SCC) Scope 1 Working Group and document authors for a webinar discussing their journey creating the Cost-Benefit Calculator and outlining the use cases for this tool.  The Cost-Benefit Calculator is a functional spreadsheet with built in report creation tools. For business managers who need to calculate emissions for Scrope 1.
