carbon capture and storage
About this tag
Microsoft has entered multiple agreements to scale carbon capture and storage (CCS) and bio-energy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) technologies. Partnerships with Equinor and Stockholm Exergi aim to deploy large-scale carbon removal infrastructure, with Microsoft committing to purchase millions of tonnes of permanent carbon removal. These deals raise questions about permanence, sustainability, and the role of digital systems in the carbon removal value chain. The tag covers Microsoft's corporate climate strategy, the technical and ethical challenges of CCS and BECCS, and the intersection of cloud computing with carbon management.
