2023 Emissions by Facility Location
Number of Reporters and Emissions

Electronics Icon This source category includes, but is not limited to, facilities that manufacture semiconductors (including light-emitting diodes), micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS), liquid crystal displays (LCDs), and photovoltaic cells (PV). Specifically, this subsector consists of electronics manufacturing facilities with production processes that use plasma-generated fluorine atoms and other reactive fluorine-containing fragments to etch thin films, clean chambers for depositing thin films, clean wafers, or remove residual material. The source category also includes electronics manufacturing facilities with chemical vapor deposition processes or other production processes that use N₂O, and with processes that use fluorinated GHGs as heat transfer fluids (HTF) to control temperature or clean surfaces.

Totals may not equal sum of individual GHGs due to independent rounding.

** Total reported emissions are less than 0.05 million metric tons.

CO2 emissions from the combustion of biomass are NOT included in the emissions totals provided above.

Emissions of CO₂ and CH₄ are from stationary fuel combustion sources.
