Brief Description of Company:
Intel supplies the computing and communications industries with chips, boards, systems, and software building blocks that are the "ingredients" of computers, servers, networking, and communications products. In 2000 Intel had revenues of $26.5 billion and employed 83,400 people. Intel is headquartered in Santa Clara, CA. View Intel’s Web site for more information. Target:
Achieve an absolute 10 percent reduction in PFC emissions from 1995 levels by 2010. Reduce greenhouse gas emissions per production unit 50% below a 2002 baseline by 2010. BELC Company Targets CEO:
Paul S. Otellini
Energy Efficiency Initiatives
Success Stories Summary:
Intel’s goal is to reduce energy consumption by an average of 4 percent per production unit per year from 2002 through 2010, which has driven a number of its energy conservation initiatives. Energy consumption is now 20 percent lower per production unit over the last five years than it would have been had Intel not taken any conservation measures. Intel maintains a dedicated capital funding program for energy efficiency lighting, advanced system controls, boiler efficiency, chilled water improvements, and cleaner heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. Since 2001, Intel has saved more than 400 million kilowatt hours (kWh) as a result of over 200 projects related to energy efficiency. Projects implemented as part of the capital funding program saved approximately 90 million kWh of energy in 2007 alone. Many of Intel’s locations feature efficient lighting; "smart" system controls; boiler efficiency; chilled water improvements; and clean room heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning improvements; and improved operating processes and procedures. At a New Mexico site, Intel retrofitted five boilers for about $250,000 per year; the return on investments realized was $170,000 per year in natural gas fuel costs, $50,000 per year in electrical energy savings, $40,000 per year in boiler maintenance costs, and an average reduction of nitrous oxide and carbon monoxide emissions of 32 percent and 92 percent, respectively. Power management on 65,000 laptop displays and 45,000 desktop monitors worldwide save about 9.65 million kWh and $482,000 per year. Intel collaborated with the Natural Resources Defense Council to revise design guidelines for computer power-supply manufacturers, estimated by the Environmental Protection Agency to result in annual savings in the U.S. of 16 billion kWh, 10 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions, and $1.25 billion. Intel’s Instantly Available PC allows PCs to go to under five watts "sleep mode" and to wake up in less than five seconds.

Intel’s design center in Israel is being Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certified. In October 2007, Intel announced plans to achieve LEED certification for a wafer fabrication facility known as Fab 32 located in Chandler, Arizona. Fab 32 will be among Intel’s most environmentally friendly factories. It will incorporate energy and water conservation measures and will manufacture Intel's industry-leading lead-free 45nm processors.

Products & Services summary:
Intel provides enabling technology for electronics manufacturers to build products that meet or exceed Energy Star Intel’s Instantly Available PC allows PCs to go to under five watts "sleep mode" and to wake up in less than five seconds. Intel Core micro-architecture improves energy efficiency in desktop, mobile, and server performance. Core2 Duo desktop processors are 40 percent more energy efficient than previous generation models; mobile processors 28 percent more efficient. Intel is a member of the Green Grid consortium to advance energy efficiency in data centers and computing systems. Intel collaborated with the Natural Resources Defense Council to revise design guidelines for computer power-supply manufacturers, estimated by the Environmental Protection Agency to result in annual savings in the U.S. of 16 billion kWh, 10 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions, and $1.25 billion.
Supply Chain summary:
Intel is a founding member of the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition – a partnership that, among other things, works with suppliers to green their supply chains. Intel works with its suppliers to reduce the energy requirements for manufacturing tools. The company monitors the energy usage per quantity of chips manufactured in order to track the progress toward existing goals and set goals for equipment suppliers.
