Objective of GCS Workshops

A gathering of the semiconductor value chain in one place to most efficiently share solutions and tools and workshop solutions, thereby optimizing your time and resources dedicated to addressing the specific challenges we face. The GCS Workshops are co-hosted by SEMI, the Semiconductor Climate Consortium, Apple, and Google. 

The Workshops are focused on revealing the right details and data that will support action on decarbonization recommendations. The Workshops will NOT focus solely on the issue and roadblocks, but rather the solutions, including (1) sharing examples of successful paths, (2) provide possible tools you need to help address the gaps, and (3) active workshopping on further solution spacing towards emission reductions. We have identified leaders with the experience and knowledge to move toward answers during each Workshop. 

Bring your experience, critical thinking skills, and share with your fellow sustainability travelers.

Workshop Themes and Layout

5/15 – Opening + Facilities Abatement Tours (Tours are now full)

5/16 (AM) - Manufacturing Scope 1 Emissions – brownfield abatement retrofits, low GWP gas substitution and emission measurements reduction solutions, toolkits, roadblocks

5/16 (PM) - Manufacturing Energy Efficiency – fab/subfab interoperability, toolkits and ROI calculations

5/19 (AM) - Renewable Energy Education & Advocacy – global state-of-play, market breakouts for education and solution short listing

5/19 (PM) - Manufacturing Scope 3 Materials Decarbonization – partner paths, impacts and tools

5/20 (AM) - Data & Reporting Alignment – ROI and roadblocks + Closing (PM)

Synergies with the Semiconductor Climate Consortium 

Many themes of the GCS Workshops are outcomes of the discoveries in the SCC Working Groups and previous Supplier Day presentations.  The GCS Workshops will allow for greater depth of discussions and face-to-face solutioning opportunities.  With the right information and the right audience, attendees will depart with tools to operationalize for action.  Across the ecosystem, we want to see those benefits show up in our Scope 3 calculations.
