Category: Microsoft

Climate experts across the globe agree: if we can’t drastically reduce carbon emissions, our planet will face catastrophic consequences. Microsoft has operated carbon neutral since 2012, and in January 2020 Brad Smith announced our commitment to going carbon negative by 2030.

In our journey toward carbon negative, Microsoft is taking steps to roll back the effect datacenters have on the environment.

We’re committed to reducing our emissions by half, and then removing the carbon we’ve emitted since 1975, to truly go carbon negative.

Hydrogen fuel cells provide another option for green backup energy to datacenters and are almost two times more efficient than combustion engines.
