SK Hynix Says Decarbonization Limits Need Clean Power Expansion With ASML
SK Hynix said it reduces emissions by managing Scope 1, 2 and 3, with Scope 2 driven by purchased electricity and heat. In power-intensive semiconductors, it argued renewable electricity is the key lever. Apple cited 60-80% of IC footprint coming from electricity, while SEMI estimates South Korea’s renewable power share is below the ~30% global average. SK Hynix said decarbonization requires ecosystem-wide management and collaboration with government and industry rather than a single firm.
