What Could be the Relation of this Place with Microsoft, Guess

Microsoft is demonstrating once again its ecological consciousness by announcing the creation of a new data center in Wyoming that works exclusively through production of biogas from a variety of organic materials, such as livestock manure, agricultural residues and other impurities … 

After filtering and processing, biogas can be used as fuel to power the data center while reducing carbon emissions. The entire project is expected to cost the company $ 5.5 million and if proven successful, will pave the way for recycling and conversion of natural biogas (methane) into renewable energy.

After the end of the 18-month pilot program, Microsoft will donate its systems at University of Wyoming for further investigation.
