semiconductors -- Updates to the Semiconductor Emissions Estimate Calculator Webpage
Posted: 03 Apr 2017 17:16:00
The Semiconductor Emissions Estimate Calculator for the 2010 – 2015 calendar years (2010 Calculator) has been updated and the Semiconductor Emissions Estimate Calculator for the 2016 – 2021 calendar years (2016 Calculator) has been added. The 2010 Calculator and the 2016 Calculator are both designed to assist in benchmarking and calculating greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from semiconductor operations in California. The calculator can be used to help owners and operators calculate the 2006 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Tier 2b emission calculations, required by the semiconductor regulation. To report emissions conducted in the 2010 through 2015 calendar years, owners and operators should use the 2010 Calculator. To report emissions conducted in the 2016 through 2021 calendar years, owners and operators should use the 2016 Calculator. Both of these calculators are available here: http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/semiconductors/calculator/calculator.htm The use of the calculators are not mandatory, but help to simplify reporting for industry, promote consistency in reports, and lessen the review time for district personnel. The owners and operators are still ultimately responsible for submitting accurate and complete reports in accordance with the semiconductor regulation.

Background The semiconductor regulation is designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from semiconductor operations and was adopted pursuant to the California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 (Health & Safety Code, sections 38500 et. seq.). This regulation became effective January 1, 2010. California is in a drought emergency. Visit www.SaveOurH2O.org for water conservation tips. California is in a drought emergency.
