The agreement is part of Microsoft’s commitment to achieving net zero emissions by 2030. The power control and administration building, which is a critical part of Microsoft’s data centre infrastructure, will now be powered by green hydrogen, a clean and renewable energy source.

The project, which is being implemented in collaboration with the University of Birmingham, aims to produce green hydrogen using renewable energy sources. This initiative is part of Microsoft’s broader commitment to sustainability and its efforts to reduce carbon emissions. The project is expected to demonstrate the potential of green hydrogen as a clean energy source and its role in the transition to a low-carbon economy. Microsoft’s green hydrogen project in Europe marks a significant milestone in the company’s sustainability journey.
