### 9 November 2023, by Maxime Pelcat : The Environmental Footprint of IC Production
We discuss this article published in 2023 by Thibault Pirson, Thibault P. Delhaye, Alex G. Pip, Grégoire Le Brun, Jean-Pierre Raskin, and David Bol in IEEE Transactions on Semiconductor Manufacturing.
Authors conduct an advanced review of the current knowledge of environmental impacts of integrated circuit production. The studied performance indicators are energy consumption, global warming potential, and water consumption. The study concludes on quite stable impacts per cm² of produced silicium while the total silicon area produced increases by 3.6%/year.

### 5 October 2023, by Thibaut Marty: Kaya for Computer Architects: Toward Sustainable Computer Systems
We present an article by Lieven Eeckhout that reformulates Kaya's well-known identity to apply it to computer/chip architecture and allow us to reason about its sustainability over time.
The paper distinguishes between embodied (fabric) and operational (usage) emissions, and analyses current trends.
Finally, it raises the question of what we, as computer architects, can do to make chips more sustainable, and suggests several avenues to pursue.
