Wide Bandgap Power to Electrify Our World for a Sustainable Future

In this article we look at how we can most efficiently “Electrify our World” to reduce emissions and meet net-zero goals by using wide bandgap semiconductors. Based on third party verified life-cycle analysis and sustainability reporting, this article will show how GaN and SiC enable not only CO2 reductions through in-use efficiency but can also support reduced emissions through creation (making the chip) and dematerialization (reducing system size and materials used). We will also illustrate how these technologies not only optimize efficiency but can support increased uptake of electrification thanks to the resulting benefits.
