Two years ago, Facebook made a target for its operations. A fully fuelled by renewable energy is going to happen by the end of 2021.
On Tuesday, the company reported that it is on track to realizing this ambition. It was in the recently released 2019 Sustainability Report.
Over the year, Facebook “achieved 86 percent renewable energy for our operations. In addition, they now have over 1.3 gigawatts of wind. And also, the solar projects online.” It was up from 75 percent in 2018.
In reality, the company’s headquarters in Menlo Park is already at 100 percent. The multitude of wind and solar farms assist Facebook in accomplishing this goal, as well as supporting their local communities.
Complementing this feat, this biggest platform in the world also announced in the report that it has reduced operational greenhouse gas emissions by 59 percent since 2017.
In addition, there were four blessing new water restoration projects. They plan to restore 206,000 cubic meters of water per year from now on.
If Facebook continues its conversion to sustainable energy at this rate, by the end of next year, all the company’s operations should be renewable.
