Efficient Power with GaN

EpiGaN proprietary 2017 1

Dr Ir Marianne Germain, CEO and Co-founder

GaN has already revolutionized Lighting … and soon

… and soon the way we use Energy in the World!

• Electricity : 43% of primary energy consumption (Source: IEA)

• Power electronics enables conversion (AC/DC – DC/DC)

• Market > $120B (Yole)

! 10% of energy produced is “Lost in conversion” !

• As Si components reach intrinsic material limitations,

GaN offers best and real alternative.

The Energy Dilemma

EpiGaN proprietary 2017 4

Energy demand by 2050, Electricity demand by 2030 (Source IEA 2010) x2

CO2 emissions to avoid dramatic climate changes by 2050 (Source IPCC) ÷2

Obvious cause of actions is to use energy more efficiently!

• 55% of carbon emission reductions need to come from energy efficiency improvements by 2035 (Source: IEA)

• 20-20-20 program in the EU – includes 20% energy efficiency improvement

Increasing policy focus on Energy Efficiency

GaN penetrates into Power Switching Applications today!
