Essential building material contributes 6% of emissions globally
Tech giants prioritizing sustainable construction with “green concrete”
Tech giants are increasingly exploring ways to make data centers not only more energy-efficient but also more environmentally responsible in their construction.
For example, Microsoft is building data centers with cross-laminated timber (CLT) and, along with AWS, Google, and Meta, participates in the Open Compute Project Foundation (OCP), an organization dedicated to promoting and testing low-embodied carbon concrete – also known as “green concrete” – for data center construction.
