That would be the case if there were fungible inputs, some of which were decarbonized and some of which were not.
But that's not the case, as far as I understand any Apple's inputs. New supply chains and new accounting for all the supply chains will need to be created.
- ephbit 4y agoLet's say you have a facility where chips/semiconductors/electronic components are produced. Supplying this facility with green electricity only is pretty easy. Sign contract with energy company, done. All the raw material inputs needed to produce the components, that's where it gets interesting. I kind of doubt you'll find a copper (or whatever) mine where green electricity powered dump trucks drive around (which .. in turn would need to have been produced sustainably, otherwise they add CO2 to the BOM). And good luck trying to first build the factories for the production of components from exclusively decarbonized materials. Steel? Concrete? Plastics?
