Samsung Electronics Announced Their New Environmental Strategy To Achieve Net Zero Carbon Emissions

Tech Giant Samsung has unveiled its plans to tackle climate change and reduce carbon emissions. To achieve net zero emissions by 2050, they have taken several measures and are likely to invent new technologies.
Climate change has become a major concern as we can see new calamity to everywhere on the earth and no denying that is happening to global warming, carbon emissions, and other similar issues.

All the manufacturing sectors have taken a key role in producing carbon dioxide and other toxic elements in nature and tech gadgets and products are no exception. Samsung is a leading technology company that produces various electronic products such as Smartphones, TVs, refrigerators, washing machines, air conditioners, and many more and they produce on large scale.
There is no wonder they would produce more greenhouse gases.
Through a press release, Samsung has disclosed its vision for its commitment to achieving enterprise-wide zero carbon emissions and plans to use more renewable energy. They are also to invest in and research new technologies to develop more energy-efficient products, reuse water and invent carbon capture technology.

“The climate crisis is one of the greatest challenges of our time. The consequences of inaction are unimaginable and require the contribution of every one of us, including businesses and governments,” said Jong-Hee Han, Vice Chairman and CEO of Samsung Electronics. “Samsung is responding to the threats of climate change with a comprehensive plan that includes reducing emissions, new sustainability practices, and the development of innovative technologies and products that are better for our planet,” he added.
Samsung Electronics expects millions of tons of carbon dit to reduce the equivalent of about 17 million tons of carbon dioxide-equivalent emissions. According to the company, it is likely to develop new technologies to drastically reduce the process of gasses- a byproduct of semiconductor manufacturing- and install treatment facilities on the semiconductor manufacturing lines by 2030. Also, they will continue to expand waste heat utilization facilities and consider introducing electric heat sources to reduce LNG boiler usage.

As part of the whole operation., Samsung also has plans to use water resources more efficiently. The semiconductor industry is a water demanding sector, where water requirements are immense. By 2030 the water requirements for domestic semiconductor manufacturing are likely to reach double compared to the current. To Cop up with that Samsung is committing to maximizing water reuse by improving its water treatment facilities.
Besides Samsung will develop air cleaning technologies and invest in startups that are associated with inventing green technologies.
