Microsoft’s new sustainability report broadcast last week, shows how a company that wants to be carbon light of the carbon weighty economy.
Since 2020, its carbon waste is 23.4%, mainly the result of a breakneck Establishment of the Information Center Support growing cloud and AI transactions. Purely clean electrical apple is actually an easy part – products containing carbon-intensive materials and products, including steel, concrete and computer chips.
“The worldview of the world should be eliminated for the development and use of concrete, steel, fuel and chips and” A Microsoft spokesman is reported to TechCrunch via email. “These are the biggest drivers of 3 of our difficulties.”
The field is the other than the direct control of a company, including 3 emissions, raw materials, transport and services purchased goods and services. Emissions in the field 3 represent the 2025 durability report more than 97% of Microsoft’s carbon marks for the 2024 financial year.
Microsoft Coverage 3 profile capital goods and services purchased goods and services, by contributing to the company’s total carbon emissions with a quarter of three quarters.
The construction of the information centers was the main driver behind 3 issues of Microsoft’s stubborn volume. The steel used in the buildings is a product of chemical reactions used by the concrete and carbon dioxide, which relys on fire-heated blast furnaces by fossil fossil fossil fossils. Some beginnings work to decarse both steel and cementand Microsoft does an investor In space, but this bet will be a year before there will be an important effect.
Carbon waste is also embodied in computer chips inside the Information Center. Semiconductor lithography depends on chemicals with high global warming potential. For example, hexafluoroetane, which has features in chips, is a strong greenhouse gas, as 1 ton of warming 9,200 tons carbon dioxide.
The easiest of the green electricity, which are easier, because data centers are always established near the abundance of plenty of clean energy sources. Therefore, Microsoft has difficulty finding anything nearby zero carbon electricity, and force them to rely on purchases elsewhere. “Electricity consumption grew faster than we worked,” he said.
In total, Microsoft was slightly less than 2024 compared to 2023, and said that the company has improved in improving the data centers with low climate effects. Again, it is a long way to meet the target of 2030s to overcome the pollution of more carbon. With its forecast, Microsoft will have to cut off their shots for more than half when spreading the carbon extraction.
Microsoft has a number of hoods on both fronts. It has been one of the present Investors and Buyers In recent months, the solar energy and zero carbon power portfolio now stands in 34 Gigawatt capacity. Moreover, it has recently signed a bit too large Millions of metric tones promised removal of carbon.
For a few years in 2030 and the company may be pushed into the EU and the cloud – but this has reached the more difficult goals.
