Meta's total operational greenhouse gas emissions amounted to 50,610 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent in 2023. Meta cut its operational emissions by 94 percent in 2020 from a 2017 baseline. This was primarily achived by matching 100 percent of the electricity use of its data centers and offices with renewable energy and addressing residual emissions with carbon removal projects. Since then, Meta's operations have produced net zero emissions.
