Greenpeace chides Alibaba on energy as China tech gets greener

China’s tech giants are shifting slowly toward using more clean electricity to power their energy-hungry operations, Greenpeace found in its second review of the industry.

More of the country’s biggest tech companies are actively procuring renewable energy and disclosing energy consumption and emissions data, Greenpeace said in a report published on April 21. Still, only two of 22 surveyed companies reported getting more than 3% of their power from carbon-free sources such as wind and solar.
