Meta's location-based greenhouse gas emissions have risen steadily since 2019, climbing to 14,067,104 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent in 2023. Meta says it matches 100 percent of its electricity use with renewable energy purchases, using Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) to offset carbon emissions. Meta's carbon footprint is still significantly larger than in 2020 despite pledging to reach net-zero emissions by 2030.
