Chip industry could save $500 million
EETimes reported that ISMI (an alliance of the world's leading chip manufacturers) claimed that the chip industry could save as much energy as required to supply a smaller town with electricity.
ISMI claimed that by reducing energy usage the entire industry could save up to $500 million in total.
ISMI's proposed energy-conversion measures are: cleanroom airflow reduction reducing ultrapure water consumption and changing to higher-efficiency electrical motors.
