Dependant transition pathways

Semiconductor manufacturing

Scope 3 · cat 1
Reference pathway

Chips dominate hardware Scope 3 cat 1. Fab energy intensity, perfluorocarbon emissions, and water-intensive processes set the floor for IT hardware supply-chain carbon.

Mining & critical minerals

Scope 3 · cat 1
Reference pathway

Rare earths, lithium, cobalt, copper for batteries and electronics. Mining decarbonisation pace caps upstream supply-chain emissions.

Aviation

Scope 3 · cat 6
Reference pathway

Global enterprise sales, service engineers, channel partner conferences. Hardware OEMs run heavy long-haul travel programmes that don't shrink without aviation supply-side change.

E-waste & circular electronics

Scope 3 · cat 12
Reference pathway

Average 3–5 year device lifetime drives constant material throughput. Take-back, refurbish and material-recovery rates determine whether next cycle reuses or re-mines.

framework:ITU-T L.1030 (circular ICT), Ellen MacArthur Foundation, EU WEEE Directive
