The Open Compute Project Foundation (OCP) funded the test development and deployment of four concretes of varying levels of embodied carbon, as a collaborative effort among leading technology innovators Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google, Meta, and Microsoft to drive the adoption of lower-carbon concrete in data center construction. This collective endeavor aligns with the objectives in a previously issued industry call to action. The full-scale demonstration was conducted at the main laboratory of Wiss, Janney, Elstner Associates, Inc. (WJE) in Northbrook, IL, as a proxy to test the application of lower-carbon concrete for data center floors, targeting a significant reduction potential in greenhouse gas emissions.
