Infineon has switched all locations globally to green electricity
This transition translates to an annual avoidance of approximately 975,150 tons of CO₂ equivalents
Infineon Technologies, a global leader in power semiconductor solutions, announced that all of its worldwide operations are now powered by 100 percent green electricity—an important step toward achieving carbon neutrality by 2030. The company has also surpassed its 2025 interim climate target, cutting Scope 1 and 2 emissions by more than 80 percent compared with 2019, despite doubling revenue over the same period. Earlier this year, the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) validated Infineon’s science-based climate commitments.
“Infineon semiconductors play a crucial role in helping societies decarbonize while supporting the increasing energy needs of modern life,” said Elke Reichart, Management Board Member and Chief Digital and Sustainability Officer. “At the same time, we continue to decarbonize our own operations. We are proud that every Infineon location worldwide is now powered entirely by green electricity.”
Infineon has consistently invested in CO₂ reduction and resource-efficient manufacturing. Since setting ambitious climate goals in 2020, the company has steadily advanced its transition to renewable energy. Its European sites switched to 100 percent green electricity in 2021, followed by North America in 2022. Major Malaysian manufacturing facilities in Kulim and Melaka transitioned in 2023, with remaining production sites in China, Indonesia, and Singapore converting during 2024 and 2025. All global R&D, sales, and marketing offices have also completed the shift.
The transition complies with RE100 standards, a global initiative uniting companies committed to sourcing 100 percent renewable energy. As part of its strategy, Infineon has secured long-term power purchase agreements for wind and solar energy in Germany and Spain. It is also expanding onsite solar generation, including new photovoltaic installations in Kulim and Melaka, complementing existing systems in Warstein, Regensburg, Villach, Wuxi, and Singapore.
Infineon’s continued expansion of silicon carbide (SiC) manufacturing in Dresden and Kulim further supports global efforts to develop sustainable energy infrastructure. The company’s semiconductor technologies are essential for renewable energy generation, grid stability, and the energy-efficient operation of artificial intelligence. Through advanced abatement systems, efficient equipment, and renewable power, Infineon is working to set new standards for sustainable, next-generation semiconductor manufacturing.
