Microsoft denies rumors about canceling its carbon business.

Microsoft refuted speculation about abandoning carbon removal technology development, with Chief Sustainability Officer Melanie Chung-Hwan stating that the carbon removal plan has not ended. Chung-Hwan said that Microsoft may choose to recalibrate its methods for reducing its carbon footprint, and any adjustments are part of careful management rather than a drastic change. Microsoft is the world's largest investor in carbon removal credits, with its 2025 procurement accounting for 96% of the entire market.
