Microsoft wants to use human poop to lower its vast carbon footprint
Microsoft is looking to lower its vast carbon footprint by pumping human waste 5,000 feet below the ground's surface. The tech giant hopes to offset its massive carbon footprint, only exacerbated by its ventures into artificial intelligence, by using an unusual greenhouse gas removal strategy. On Thursday, Microsoft announced a deal to purchase 4.9 million metric tons of durable carbon dioxide removal from Vaulted Deep. The company's 'bioslurry,' or mix of human and farm waste, is injected deep underground – in exchange for carbon credits. Microsoft's purchase will span 12 years, starting next year. For each ton of carbon they shuttle deep underground, they will receive a carbon removal credit. 'We're taking different types of organic waste,' Julia Reichelstein, the co-founder and chief executive of Vaulted Deep, told the Journal. 'It's sludgy, often contaminated organic waste that today causes problems above ground, and instead we take the waste and put it really deep underground for permanent carbon removal,' Reichelstein added. The waste used by Vaulted Deep is typically a slurry, not quite solid, liquid, or gas. Traditionally, this type of waste is difficult to treat and often ends up being left in fields, leading to nutrient runoff and the spread of PFAS, or "forever chemicals," into water systems. Vaulted Deep, however, takes the slurry and pipes it deep under natural rock formations. The company then sells carbon credits based on the amount of carbon it stores below the ground. They currently sell for about $350 a metric ton, according to the report. Companies like Microsoft, which emitted 75.5 million tons of CO2 from 2020 to 2024, hope that storing organic waste thousands of feet underground will help them meet their emission targets. Microsoft has a goal of becoming carbon negative by 2030, and by 2050, hopes to remove more greenhouse gases than the company has emitted since its founding. To date, Microsoft has bought many carbon removal credits. It has acquired more than 83 million tons of carbon removal, of which 59 million tons have been bought so far this year, not including the deal with Vaulted Deep, according to the report. Brian Marrs, the tech giant's senior director of energy and carbon removal, touted the investment in Vaulted Deep as being mutually beneficial. 'They're essentially taking biosolids, and much of that today is spread over fields,' he said. 'It can create nutrient [runoff] and other pollutants for watersheds, and sealing out that biosolid where it can't be a nuisance to the environment and where it will not repatriate carbon into the atmosphere – that approach, that co-benefits approach is very, very interesting to us.'

GLEIF launches VLEI hackathon
The Global Legal Entity Identifier Foundation (GLEIF) announces today the official launch of the vLEI Hackathon – a global innovation challenge in digital organizational identity. 0 This content is provided by an external author without editing by Finextra. It expresses the views and opinions of the author. This new initiative aims to catalyze innovation and promote cross-industry collaboration to develop novel applications for the verifiable Legal Entity Identifier (vLEI). The vLEI is a digital, trustworthy attestation of the Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) tied to the ISO-Standard 17442. This highly secure digital credential links an organization's identity with that of a natural person and the specific role they hold within the organization. By enabling peer-to-peer verification, the vLEI allows transactions, data, and credentials to be verified, trusted, and shared through peer-to-peer mechanisms without dependence on intermediaries or centralized platforms. This lays the foundation for the future of the digital economy – empowering legal entities everywhere with the confidence and freedom to trust and be trusted globally. GLEIF invites developers, entrepreneurs, policy stakeholders, and innovators around the world to take part in the vLEI Hackathon and explore its potential across three key thematic areas: Digital Assets & Financial Infrastructure Industry, Commercial & Finance Processes & Operations Trade, Supply Chain Resilience, and SME Finance Participating teams will develop and submit their solutions via the APIX Platform, where full details of the challenges are available. Following independent assessment by an international judging panel of experts, winners and runner-ups will be invited to present their solutions at exclusive in-person events this year in New York at Chainlink SmartCon, which brings governments, financial institutions, and blockchain projects together to discuss the technologies transforming global markets (3rd November), during the Hong Kong Fintech Week (7th November), and at GLEIF's digital ORG ID Forum co-hosted with Frankfurt School of Finance & Management in Frankfurt am Main (2nd December). The vLEI Hackathon enjoys the steadfast support of leading organizations, including Affinidi, Apix, Cardano Foundation, Chainlink, Cardano, EPA Asia, Esatus, the Finternet Lab, Frankfurt School of Finance & Management, GFTN Europe, Giesecke+Devrient, ICC Digital Standards Initiative, Key State Capital, Swift, Hong Kong PKI Forum, Vayana, and more. Additionally, the vLEI Hackathon will contribute to the further development of the ecosystem supported by Qualified vLEI Issuers (QVIs), including Certizen Technology, China Financial Certification Authority (CFCA), Finema, Global vLEI, Provenant, and TradeGo, which will also play central roles. Alexandre Kech, CEO at GLEIF, comments: "The vLEI is a transformative leap forward in digital organizational identity, one that empowers organizations and individuals alike to operate with greater transparency and confidence across borders, infrastructures, and ecosystems. The vLEI Hackathon is our call to technology innovators everywhere to create innovative vLEI applications that will shape the future of digital trust. With our global partners, we are bringing together diverse expertise from a range of industries to explore and expand the use cases of the vLEI in real-world scenarios." Fernando Vazquez, President, Capital Markets at Chainlink, comments: 'We're excited to collaborate with GLEIF for the vLEI Hackathon and bring verifiable identity credentials onchain, which is the key unlock institutions need to deploy compliant digital assets in production and at a global scale. With Chainlink Automated Compliance Engine and GLEIF vLEIs, developers can now, for the first time, build production-ready digital asset applications with institutional-grade identity and compliance from day one.' Jonathan Ehrenfeld, Head of Strategy at Swift, comments: "With trust and interoperability at the core of financial services, initiatives like the vLEI Hackathon foster solutions that align with the evolving needs of digital finance and effectively build bridges between digital assets and established systems." Prof. Co-Pierre Georg, Director of the Frankfurt School Blockchain Center at the Frankfurt School of Finance & Management, comments: "Our mission is to foster innovations in an increasingly complex digital landscape. Therefore, we're proud to support the important work of GLEIF with this Hackathon, which will bring some of the industry's most creative and innovative minds to Frankfurt School.'
