Industry Investment Rating - The report does not explicitly provide an investment rating for the industry [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] Core Viewpoints - The consumer electronics industry is one of the fastest-growing sectors in terms of global electricity consumption, with semiconductor manufacturing alone projected to consume 237 TWh by 2030, nearly equivalent to Australia's total electricity consumption in 2021 [1] - Leading consumer electronics brands like Apple, Microsoft, and Google have achieved 100% renewable energy in their operations and are pushing suppliers to follow suit, though major suppliers like TSMC, Foxconn, and Samsung have only committed to achieving 100% renewable energy by 2040 [1] - Ambitious renewable energy targets can significantly reduce carbon emissions and save energy-related costs, providing a competitive advantage [1] - The study analyzed 13 major consumer electronics suppliers in East Asia, comparing the cost-benefit of renewable energy transition under a "business as usual" (BAU) scenario and a 100% renewable energy (RE) scenario by 2030 [1] Key Findings Cost Savings - The 13 suppliers could save between $87.42 million and $11.42 billion each in energy and environmental costs by 2030 if they achieve 100% renewable energy [2] - Cost savings are driven by avoiding rising fossil fuel costs, carbon taxes, and penalties for excess emissions, as well as declining renewable energy costs [2] - Collectively, the 13 companies could save $19.09 billion in energy and environmental costs in 2030 alone [2] Carbon Emission Reductions - Achieving 100% renewable energy by 2030 would enable the 13 companies to reduce 218 million tons of carbon emissions, exceeding the total emissions of the Netherlands in 2022 [2] - Samsung Electronics, the highest-revenue company among the 13, could reduce 148.6 million tons of carbon emissions, surpassing Chile's total emissions in 2022, and save $11.42 billion in 2030 [2] - Three Chinese companies—Luxshare-ICT, BOE, and Goertek—could collectively reduce 13.95 million tons of carbon emissions by 2030 [2] Company-Specific Insights - Luxshare-ICT aims for 50% renewable energy by 2025 but has no 100% target; achieving 100% by 2030 could reduce 5.27 million tons of emissions and save $351.98 million [2] - BOE has not set a 100% renewable energy target; achieving it by 2030 could reduce 7.91 million tons of emissions and save $595.82 million [2] - Goertek has no 100% renewable energy target; achieving it by 2030 could reduce 770,000 tons of emissions and save $87.42 million [2] Methodology - The study, conducted by Greenpeace East Asia and City University of Hong Kong, used 2022 environmental and revenue data as a baseline, assuming a 3% annual market growth rate to project energy consumption under BAU and RE scenarios [5] - Emissions were calculated by multiplying fossil fuel and renewable energy consumption data by their respective emission intensities [6] - Costs were calculated based on local market prices for fossil fuels, renewable energy, and carbon emissions [7] Renewable Energy Transition Scenarios - Under the RE scenario, all 13 companies are projected to achieve 100% renewable energy by 2030, compared to varying percentages under the BAU scenario [6] - For example, TSMC would increase from 10% renewable energy in 2022 to 100% by 2030 under the RE scenario, while under BAU, it would only reach 60% by 2030 and 100% by 2050 [6] - Companies like BOE and Goertek, which currently have minimal renewable energy usage (0.98% and 6%, respectively), would achieve 100% under the RE scenario by 2030 [6]
