COMPANY: META INDUSTRY: TECHNOLOGY
Rachel offers a transparent perspective on Meta’ s infrastructure challenges, balancing shared industry sustainability goals with the difficult reality of rising emissions from necessary global expansion. but all data centre providers are focused on this trend, because we all are thinking about how to reduce our environmental footprint, reach net zero emissions and decrease our use of water.”
Water consumption represents another critical constraint for data centre operators. Traditional cooling systems consume significant water volumes for heat rejection. The move towards higher temperature cooling systems reduces both energy consumption and water usage, addressing two operational challenges simultaneously.
“ Our Scope 3 emissions are increasing and will continue to do so as we work to support global demand”
