The Open Compute Project is collaborating with tech giants to test low-carbon concrete, which offers a way to reduce CO2 emissions from data centers significantly.
Concrete is responsible for about 11 percent of global CO2 emissions due to the cement component made from limestone and energy-intensive processes.
The importance of concrete in datacenter construction is significant, as using low-carbon variants can help companies meet their emissions-reduction targets.
The recent collaboration involved pouring four different low-carbon concrete slabs, aimed at determining their performance and feasibility in real-world datacenter conditions.
