NGOs call out TSMC over chip-making energy usage, supply chain emissions amid low use of renewables
- Greenpeace International, Stand.earth and 350 Asia said the world’s largest chip maker should target 100 per cent renewable energy by 2030
- Renewables made up 9 per cent of TSMC’s energy usage in 2021, the groups said, as chip supply chain emissions have come under increasing scrutiny

The 27th Conference of the Parties (COP 27) produced a groundbreaking agreement to create a “loss and damage” fund to help developing nations cope with the impact of climate change.
But the conference, held from Nov. 6 to Nov. 20, 2022, in Sharm el-Sheik, Egypt, fell short of a hoped-for agreement to speed reductions of greenhouse gas emissions.
