"Virgin River" is using batteries and "Bridgerton" is testing out hydrogen, but Netflix's overall emissions reduction progress has been marginal.

"Virgin River" is replacing diesel generators with batteries. "Stranger Things" is experimenting with solar-powered trailers. And "Bridgerton" is using hydrogen. It's all part of Netflix's efforts to overhaul the dirty business of film & TV production. The world's top streamer has a plan to cut its emissions roughly in half by 2030. Focusing on film & TV production is key, since it typically accounts for over half the company's emissions. Yet, Netflix's progress has been marginal since it began focusing on sustainability in 2020. Its emissions in 2022 increased compared to 2019, the year the company chose as its baseline year. (Emissions dropped dramatically in 2023, the company’s latest reported year, but that was largely attributed to work stoppages during the Hollywood strikes.) Though it’s the most visible, decarbonizing film and TV production has been a small piece of Netflix’s emissions reduction work. The bulk of its avoided emissions come from purchasing renewable energy through green tariff programs. Netflix's efforts to cut emissions on set beg the question: Is it possible to grow audiences and ambitions while cutting greenhouse gases? The answer is more complicated than you might think.
