Solar photovoltaic (pv) net news: as early as 2018, Facebook announced a goal, by the end of 2021, its operations will be 100% use of renewable energy. Before the deadline, the company seems to have been on the right track.
according to Facebook's first sustainable development report, released in 2019, the company operating 86% use of renewable energy. In 2015, the proportion was only 35%.
Facebook has now launched hundred million watts of wind and solar energy projects, including its large solar power plants in Texas. Solar power network in 2019, Facebook's operations than in 2017 to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 59%, offset by more than 100000 metric tons of carbon emissions, is to reduce 2. 20000 passenger cars on the road.
Facebook, said the Menlo Park headquarters fully supported by renewable energy, solar energy, through recycling and composting, 90% of the waste from landfills.
in addition, Facebook is also trying to improve its water. In 2019, the company to save more than 3 billion gallons of water, and invest in Oregon and watershed restoration project in new Mexico.
in addition to Facebook, photovoltaic (pv) grid, amazon and Microsoft is committed to reducing carbon emissions. On June 4th, solar energy, the amazon also announced that by 2025 is expected to fully run on clean energy, this is more than the goal of 'climate commitment' initially proposed five years ahead of schedule.
this year in January, Microsoft released a positive plan, promised future & other; To reduce and eventually eliminate & throughout; Its carbon footprint. To achieve this goal, Microsoft said that by 2030, its operations will implement the carbon emissions, and for the next 20 years, carbon sequestration is equal to the total carbon dioxide emissions since 1975.
