TAOYUAN CITY, TAIWAN – The Taiwan Printed Circuit Association introduced a strategy to reduce carbon emissions in the country's PCB industry during the association's annual conference on March 30.

TPCA Chairman Li Changming revealed the three main axes of PCB low-carbon transformation, including independent energy saving, renewable energy, negative carbon/carbon trading, and announced the industrial goals of Taiwan's PCB industry to reduce emissions by 30% in 2030 and net zero emissions in 2050.

Countries around the world have made policy goals to achieve zero net carbon emissions in response to global warming and climate issues, and the TPCA began developing an industry plan to achieve that goal last year, he said.

The "Taiwan PCB Industry Low-Carbon Transformation Strategy" will launch 39 industrial action guidelines through the consensus of the industry, while simultaneously putting forward 27 government suggestions. Those guidelines include the introduction of low-carbon equipment, low-carbon material research and development for copper foil substrates, research and development for resins and dielectric materials. Li also called on the industry to start independent energy conservation, such as adjusting corporate organization, implementing carbon inventory mechanism, and setting carbon reduction targets to integrate resources to improve the carbon reduction of the entire industrial chain.
