Meta has signed two multi-year agreements with Fortera and Nevoya to reduce emissions associated with the construction of its data centers. Under the Fortera deal, the company will buy environmental attribute certificates covering approximately 200,000 tons of low-carbon cement from a Missouri plant expected to reach a capacity of 300,000 tons per year by 2028. The cement, which incorporates captured CO₂, is expected to emit up to 70% less than conventional Portland cement. Meta will also support 25 battery-electric Class 8 trucks from Nevoya, which are expected to cover approximately four million freight miles each per year along the I-10 corridor. The commitments align with Meta’s goals of reducing Scope 3 emissions and encouraging suppliers to adopt science-based emissions targets.
