Meta says it matches 100 percent of its electricity use with renewable energy purchases.
Data centers typically connect into the local power grid, so they run on the same mix of fossil fuels as everyone else.
The company says it has almost halved its emissions on paper, but it’s difficult to say how much they’ve reduced in reality.
Meta ’s carbon footprint is still significantly larger than it was in 2020 .
It pledged to reach net-zero emissions by 2030 across its operations, supply chain, and consumer use of its products.
The company says it mostly enters into long-term agreements to purchase renewable energy from new projects.
