Microsoft “I will remove carbon dioxide emissions after the establishment”

Microsoft announced a pledge to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 2030 to practical Manias and to eliminate carbon dioxide from the Earth in 2050, the same amount that has been emitted since its inception.

On January 16 (local time), Microsoft expressed its intention to reduce carbon dioxide in the world by saying that it should achieve zero global carbon dioxide emissions, but will take further steps to achieve this. By 2030, carbon dioxide emissions exceeded the absorbed amount, achieving a carbon negative negative, and by 2050, Microsoft announced that it will eliminate the same amount of carbon dioxide that has been emitted from the earth either directly or by power consumption since 1975 when Microsoft was founded.

Microsoft also revealed specific efforts for this. Since 2012, it has established its own system called an internal carbon price system that collects costs for each business unit according to the amount of carbon dioxide emitted from the company, and through this, it has been used as an incentive to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. The internal carbon rate, also known as the tax on in-house carbon dioxide emissions, has doubled in 2019. In this announcement, Microsoft announced that it plans to expand the scope of its internal carbon rate coverage and charge the same internal carbon rate to the supply chain. Through this, the amount of carbon dioxide recovered from the environment after 2020 will be increased, and the amount of carbon dioxide emissions will be substantially reduced to negative by 2030.

Microsoft also announced that it could invest $1 billion in Climate Innovation Fund over the next four years, accelerate the development of carbon removal technologies, and support public policy on carbon reduction. Microsoft says that scientific consensus is clear that the carbon dioxide issue is an important issue for people around the world, and that it requires an active approach, the development of new technologies, and innovative public policies to remove as much carbon as possible from humanity every year.
