Powering a sustainable future with Ganymede: Reducing energy consumption in semiconductor manufacturing
At Edwards Vacuum, sustainability isn’t just a goal—it’s a commitment. The semiconductor industry continues to grow and the environmental impact of energy consumption becomes a critical challenge. That’s why we’ve developed Ganymede, an innovative solution designed to significantly reduce energy use and help manufacturers to lower their Scope 2 emissions.
What is Ganymede?
Ganymede is our latest breakthrough in sustainable semiconductor technology, engineered to optimize energy efficiency without compromising performance. With up to 30% power reduction, Ganymede leads the way in cutting down indirect emissions caused by energy consumption, making it a game-changer in the subfab.
Why energy efficiency matters
Indirect emissions from purchased electricity (Scope 2 emissions) account for a significant portion of a semiconductor manufacturer’s carbon footprint. As regulations tighten and sustainability becomes a business imperative, reducing these emissions is essential for companies aiming to meet environmental goals and remain competitive.
Sustainable Features of Ganymede:
• 30% Power Reduction: Energy-efficient design reduces overall electricity consumption
• Smaller, material-efficient pumps: Less material use and reduced energy demand during operation
• Process optimisation: Innovative nitrogen reduction and water conservation features contribute to overall resource efficiency
• Increased MTBS (Mean Time Between Service): Fewer service interventions mean lower resource use and less operational downtime.
Leading the way to a greener future
Ganymede isn’t just about energy savings; it’s about reshaping how the semiconductor industry approaches sustainability. By reducing energy consumption and optimizing process efficiency, Ganymede helps manufacturers take critical steps toward meeting sustainability targets, all while maintaining the performance standards the industry relies on.
Join us in our mission to power a sustainable future. Explore how Ganymede can help you achieve your environmental goals while boosting efficiency and performance.
