Frank-Walter Steinmeier Federal President of Republic of Germany signs on wafer

During Steinmeier's visit, Ng Kok Tiong, Senior Vice President and Managing Director of Infineon Technologies Kulim presented its investment in expanding the exhaust air purification system at the Kulim site. Avoiding CO2 emissions is a clear priority for Infineon in implementing its climate strategy. Modern exhaust-air purification systems offer the greatest leverage in this regard. The upgrade in Kulim is expected to result in an approximately eight percent reduction of global direct site-related emissions (Scope 1) by the end of the 2023 fiscal year, compared to the previous year. A planned new exhaust-air purification system in Austin, USA, will lead to further savings.

The company has also set the goal of operating 100 percent of its plants in Malaysia with green electricity in the future and is in close exchange with local suppliers and the government to this end. The initiative will help further improve Infineon's positive climate contribution. Today, the company's energy-efficient solutions help save 33 times the amount of CO2 emitted during their production.

"Infineon is fully aligned with the trends of decarbonization and digitalization," said C.S. Chua, President and Managing Director of Infineon Asia Pacific. "The growing demand for renewable energy, e-vehicles as well as energy-efficient applications will lead to a strong increase in the demand for power semiconductors. Our investments in Kulim and beyond are laying the foundation for being able to serve this growing need as well."
