The researchers, who included Eric Williams from the United Nations University in Tokyo and Miriam Heller of the National Science Foundation, followed a 32MB dynamic RAM chip through every level of its production. What they found was that producing a chip required 3.5 pounds of fossil fuels, nearly a quarter pound of chemicals, about 70 pounds of water and 1.5 pounds of gases such as nitrogen.
