Microsoft is building wooden data centers in its latest effort to reduce emissions – could this be the future of AI power?

Steel and concrete, the traditional materials used in data center construction, are major carbon emitters, but in a move toward sustainability, Microsoft is testing fire-resistant cross-laminated timber (CLT) in its first wood-based data centers near a northern suburb of Virginia.

The company says this project is part of an “all hands on deck” effort to achieve the company’s ambitious climate goals of being carbon negative by 2030 and offsetting all emissions since inception by 2050.
