Green ICT @ FMD

»Green ICT @ FMD« is a project initiated by the Forschungsfabrik Mikroelektronik Deutschland (FMD) and funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) to reduce the CO₂ footprint of information and communication technology (ICT) through research and development in microelectronics.

The competence center supports start-ups, SMEs, and large companies in various topics related to ecological sustainability, with a focus on the areas of »Sensor-Edge-Cloud Systems«, »Energy-efficient Communication Infrastructures«, and »Resource-optimized Microelectronics Production«.

The activities include:

• Knowledge transfer in the development of material flow models, life cycle assessments (LCA), and CO₂ footprint calculations for products and processes
• Consultation on efficient and sustainable components and systems for Sensor-Edge-Cloud applications and communication infrastructures
• Development of more environmentally friendly manufacturing processes for microelectronic components through material substitution and energy savings in cleanrooms
• Provision and plausibility checks of life cycle assessment datasets.
