GreenFab-X

GreenFab-X is addressing Europe’s urgent need for sustainable, secure, and circular semiconductor manufacturing. The project introduces an integrated AI-powered Digital Twin platform to optimize the semiconductor value chain, aligning with the European Chips Act and the European Green Deal. GreenFab-X addresses critical environmental challenges including PFAS elimination, high energy and water consumption, e-waste, and CO2 emissions, while embedding cybersecurity and regulatory compliance by design. The platform integrates PFAS- and halogen-free sustainable photoresists, AI-driven process optimization, predictive maintenance, real-time LCA, and automated compliance with EU regulations (REACH, ESPR, NIS2). It introduces tamper-proof Digital Product Passports (DPPs) for traceability, second-life planning, and e-waste recovery, and reinforces supply chain resilience via AI-based logistics and risk analysis tools. Bringing together 30 leading partners across 12 countries—ranging from semiconductor fabs, AI developers, recyclers, and materials scientists—GreenFab-X will demonstrate its innovations across industrial pilots, achieving key sustainability, security, and performance KPIs. Ultimately, the project will reduce CO2 and toxic chemical use, extend equipment life, improve recyclability, and enhance Europe’s technological sovereignty in semiconductors.
