Meta Signs Green Steel Certificate Deal With Stegra to Cut Data Centre Emissions

Nov 12, 2026
Meta signed a multi-year deal with Swedish startup Stegra for certificates tied to its green steel plant, to address steel emissions in data centre construction.

Meta has signed a multi-year agreement with Swedish green steel maker Stegra for environmental attribute certificates linked to Stegra's plant under construction in northern Sweden, Stegra said in a press release. A third party verifies the certificates against the physical steel.

Steel is one of the largest sources of embodied carbon in data centre construction, and Meta says the deal supports its work on emissions across its supply chain, including the steel used in its data centres. Buying the certificates also helps finance early-stage green steel production while the plant scales up.

Tensordyne Napier: What If One Rack Could Do the Work of Nine?

Tensordyne

This Tensordyne whitepaper presents Napier, an inference-focused AI processor and rack-scale system based on the company’s TDN Math logarithmic number system. It examines infrastructure requirements for large mixture-of-experts and agentic models, compares major inference architecture approaches, and details the TDN AIP processor, TDN72 pod, TDN Link fabric, and Napier Ultra configuration. The paper reports simulation-based performance, cost, and accuracy-validation results, including Tensordyne’s projected comparison of one Napier rack with a nine-rack Nvidia Rubin plus Groq deployment; the chip is reported as taped out and in fabrication.
