European collaborative project Power2Power successfully completed
Summary
More efficient semiconductors make a significant contribution to reducing carbon dioxide emissions in spite of rising global energy demand. Universities, research institutes, small and medium-sized enterprises and international corporations participated in this project which was coordinated by Infineon Technologies Dresden. “Climate change is the great challenge of our time,” said Constanze Hufenbecher, Infineon Technologies Management Board member and Chief Digital Transformation Officer. The projects results have also successfully shown that the lifetime of electric vehicle chargers can be extended by 1.5 times, and that the cost of inverters for trains can be reduced by 30%. “In the collaborative Power2Power project, the 43 consortium partners successfully developed novel solutions that will sustainably strengthen the competitiveness of the European microelectronics industry and increase its manufacturing share in the global market.
