Volume of scope 1 GHG emissions of TSMC 2014-2022, by emitter
Since 2014, the Taiwanese semiconductor company TSMC was able to reduce the intensity of its scope 1 and scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions. However, the absolute emission volume of scope 1 greenhouse gasses has increased over the observed period from two million metric tons in 2014 to 2.45 million metric tons in 2020. Scope 1 emissions describe direct carbon dioxide emissions, and scope 2 refers to indirect emissions caused by energy consumption.
