The global effort to avoid environmental cataclysm is proving excellent business for Infineon Technologies. The more people start driving electric cars and powering their homes with renewable energy, the more the German maker of specialized power-management chips will expect to profit.
It's particularly strong in automotive chips and sensors (it supplies Tesla). Products include a radar that helps a car brake by itself -- an essential bit of kit for semi-autonomous vehicles -- and it's helping develop a gizmo that can tell if a driver's falling asleep.
