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 2 greenhouse gasses has increased over the observed period from five million metric tons in 2014 to over 10 million metric tons in 2022. Scope 1 emissions describe direct carbon dioxide emissions, and scope 2 refers to indirect emissions caused by energy consumption.
