Microsoft's overall greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions were 15.4 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (MtCO₂e) in financial year 2023, an increase of 29.1 percent from the company's 2020 baseline. A key factor for Microsoft's emissions rising has been the expansion of its global data centers.
Microsoft has committed to become carbon negative by 2030, and by 2050 aims to remove an amount of carbon from the atmosphere equivalent to its total historical operational emissions. In 2024, the tech giant signed the largest ever carbon removal deal with Stockholm Exergi.
