Micron Singapore is cutting energy use at scale, deploying solar power, piloting breakthrough abatement technology, and embedding a strong culture of sustainability to meet its global target of net-zero emissions by 2050.
A world leader in memory solutions, Micron’s Singapore site anchors the industry’s leading 3D NAND technology, powering future device innovation across data centres and the intelligent edge, while also serving as a testbed for sustainability.
The company is targeting net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in operations by 2050, with a milestone of a 42 per cent absolute reduction by 2030 against its commercial year 2020 baseline.
Sustainability is embedded across the company’s operations, with interdepartmental teams spanning facilities, process engineering, equipment, and procurement accountable for energy and emissions goals.
Meanwhile, a Green Initiative Committee comprising volunteers drives employee engagement, while recognition incentives and titles, such as “bravo rewards” and “culture champion”, promote participation. A sustainability criterion has also been added to Micron’s Technical Leadership Program to nurture technologists focused on sustainable solutions
These initiatives have yielded strong results.
Since 2021, Micron Singapore has achieved more than 150 million kilowatt-hours (kWh) in energy savings and 200,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent emission reductions. A major contributor has been advanced HFO chillers coupled with a chiller plant optimisation system.
This improved energy efficiency by 20 per cent, saving 33 million kWh of energy and 50,000 tonnes of carbon emissions. Solar power is also a growing pillar, with more than 36,000 panels on rooftops and car parks generating an estimated 24 million kWh of green electricity annually.
