Insights into Qualcomm's Energy Renewability
In 2023, Qualcomm consumed a total of 3.35 million Gigajoules of energy across its operations. Of this total, 33.56% was sourced from renewable energy, either derived from natural resources like biofuels, biomass, or biogas, or generated using renewable technologies such as solar or wind power. The remaining 66.44% was classified as non-renewable energy, coming from fossil-based fuels such as coal, natural gas, or crude oil, or from non-renewable generation technologies like nuclear power.
Qualcomm's Energy Renewability Rate
How much of Qualcomm's energy consumed is renewable?
In 2023, Qualcomm consumed a total of 3.35 million Gigajoules of energy, of which 33.56% was derived from renewable sources, including biofuels, biomass, biogas, solar, and wind power.
This moderate level of renewable energy adoption indicates that Qualcomm is transitioning toward cleaner energy sources, though a significant share of its energy mix still relies on non-renewable inputs.
Are Qualcomm's energy practices becoming more sustainable?
Since 2021, Qualcomm's total energy consumption increased by 1.88%, but declined by 5.83% in 2023, suggesting a recent moderation in energy use.
Over the same period, the share of renewable energy in Qualcomm's consumption increased by 99.62%, including a 25.43% increase in 2023, showing consistent progress in clean energy adoption.
Overall, Qualcomm’s energy trends reveal a complex picture, with variations in total consumption and renewable sourcing. A closer examination of operational drivers and sourcing strategies is needed to fully assess the company’s environmental impact.

Qualcomm's Energy Produced by Sources and Technologies
Insights into Qualcomm's Energy Inflows & Self-Sufficiency
In 2023, Qualcomm reported total energy inflows of 2.14 million Gigajoules, which corresponds to the company's full energy needs, including energy consumed, redistributed, sold, or stored. This energy inflow was composed of 2.13 million Gigajoules purchased from external suppliers and 2,059.2 Gigajoules generated through internal production. This corresponds to a production share of 0.1%, reflecting a 7.73% percentage point increase from the previous year (2022) and a 4.85% percentage point increase since 2021.
Qualcomm's production share has remained relatively consistent over time, with no significant fluctuations. This stability may indicate a deliberate sourcing strategy built on predictable supply patterns, or a balanced reliance on both internal and external energy sources.
