While most companies buy carbon credits, Microsoft’s approach involves massive waste slurries and a billion-dollar invoice. Vaulted Deep’s method—unique among carbon offset companies—transforms organic refuse into a subterranean paste, tackling queries like “What is the weirdest carbon offset?” and “How much pollution do AI data centers create?” Now, the world’s richest tech company literally shovels billions into the earth, while data centers hum above.
Microsoft’s $1.7 billion poop deal with Vaulted Deep aims to bury 4.9 million metric tons of waste—answering “How does Microsoft offset AI emissions?” and “Is human waste a climate solution?” Picture poop pumped 5,000 feet below to clean up the cloud.
