The company says this project is part of an “all-hands-on-deck task” to meet the company’s ambitious climate targets: becoming carbon negative by 2030 and offsetting all emissions since its founding by 2050.

Although Microsoft has made progress towards this goal, data centers’ indirect emissions – stemming from materials extraction, manufacturing, and transport – rose by 30.9% over three years.
