"In May, Microsoft signed a large nature-based carbon offtake agreement with?the Azuero Reforestación Colectiva?(ARC). The project aims to restore more than 24,700 acres of degraded tropical forest on?Panama’s Azuero Peninsula, removing over 3 million tons of CO2 from the atmosphere in the process.? Azuero is one of?a string?of?large nature-based carbon offtake agreements?that Microsoft has struck, each with reforestation projects that will deliver over 1 million carbon credits.? Microsoft will buy approximately half the Azuero project’s carbon credits over its first 30 years through upfront financing plus a long-term offtake agreement, according to ARC project developer?Ponterra. The project is?expected to cost?between $6,000 and $7,000 per hectare and will result in some $70 million of direct and indirect benefits flowing to local communities." #carbon #carbonpurchasing #carboncredits #offtakeagreements #sustainableinvestment #sustainabledevelopment #duediligence #environment #reforestation #afforestation #revegetation #tropicalforest #co2 #azuero #panama

This was a BIG #CDR deal. And an even bigger deal is that we have Microsoft and UPEnergy on this upcoming panel hosted by Sustainable Brands. If you’re exploring buying carbon credits, who better to learn from than industry leaders about how to make the right investment decisions that deliver impact far beyond carbon.

Microsoft has announced one of the largest-ever carbon removal agreements to purchase 3 million tons of carbon removal credits over a 15-year period, generated through re.green’s reforestation projects in Brazil. This is re.green' s largest carbon removal (CDR) project to date. re.green will deliver approximately 3 million tons of carbon removal credits over a 15-year period through the restoration of forests using solely native species, encompassing the planting of at least 10.7 million seedlings. This offtake agreement will backstop the restoration of over 16,000 hectares across Brazil. https://lnkd.in/dSeR768T #naturebasedsolutions #carbonremoval

Microsoft have signed a deal with re.green for over 3 million metric tons of carbon removal credits over a 15-year period, moving the company closer to their goal becoming carbon negative by 2030. Re.green will be restoring an additional 17,500 hectares of the Amazon and Atlantic Forest, on top of 15,000 hectares from a previous deal with Microsoft. This native-species-led restoration work will not only sequester CO2 towards climate goals but will deliver a simultaneous ecological and biodiversity improvement by functionally reconnecting the landscape, allowing essential ecological processes to occur. Microsoft’s commitment to its voluntary targets shows there is increasing maturity in the offsetting market, and nature based solutions, which can deliver against carbon and biodiversity goals, are attractive to large corporations.

?? Exciting News! ?? Microsoft has just signed a groundbreaking 25-year reforestation deal with Re.green, a Brazilian startup dedicated to ecological restoration. This partnership will see Microsoft purchasing 3.5 million carbon credits, potentially worth $200 million, to support the restoration of degraded lands in Brazil. ?? Re.green's innovative approach restores ecosystems to their original biodiversity, permanently sequestering carbon and contributing to a sustainable future. This is the second major deal between Microsoft and Re.green in the past year, highlighting our commitment to environmental sustainability. ?? #Reforestation #CarbonCredits #Microsoft #GreenInitiatives #ClimateAction

Congratulations to re.green for signing a $200 million deal with Microsoft to restore parts of Brazil’s Amazon and Atlantic forests! Seed-funded by Good Energies Foundation, re.green restores degraded land by planting native tree species, in projects financed through carbon credits and timber sales. This week’s major milestone announced at the World Economic Forum in #Davos shows that nature-related opportunities are increasingly becoming part of the broader risk management and valuation calculus for corporates. It also illustrates that natural ecosystem restoration is a tremendous, if not the largest scale and most cost-effective near-term opportunity for climate mitigation! Way to go as Microsoft’s carbon footprint in 2023, as highlighted in today’s Financial Times, was more than 17mn tonnes of CO?, a 40% increase compared with about 12mn tonnes in 2020. As the company wants to become #carbon negative by the end of this decade, carbon removal credits are a promising avenue. This week’s deal is also a testimony that Good Energies Foundation’s seed-funding of re.green in 2019 was not an act of charity, but rather a high-yielding investment into our planetary foundations! Our gratitude to re.green's visionary leadership, Thiago Picolo, Mariana Barbosa, Ana Luiza Squadri, and colleagues, for evidencing that #forest #carbon is becoming a tangible asset on corporate balance sheets. ????????

In a monumental step forward for climate technology ???, Climeworks has activated Mammoth, the colossal direct air capture facility in Iceland, is setting a new standard for industrial-scale carbon removal ??. Run by the pioneering Swiss company and supported by heavyweight clients like JPMorgan Chase ?? and Microsoft ??, this plant not only signifies growth ?? but cements the potential of direct air capture technology ??. Mammoth eclipses the capacity of Climeworks' previous installation, Orca ??, aiming to remove a staggering 36,000 tons of CO2 annually ??, a figure nearly tenfold of its predecessor ??.While these numbers are impressive, it's a nudge compared to global emissions ??. Yet, it's a stride towards a cleaner, greener future ??. Furthermore, with substantial policy backing in the United States ????, including a generous $3.5 billion investment from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law ??, the ambition grows ever larger ??. Climeworks, embracing this support, has already set roots in Austin, Texas ??, gearing up for expansion and embracing the challenge of scaling up this technology in the US market ??. Mammoth symbolizes hope and ingenuity ??, leveraging Iceland's abundance of geothermal energy and basalt rock formations for a cleaner carbon capture process ??, highlighting the critical synergy between technology and natural resources ??. However, challenges loom as this innovation seeks replication in the diversely resourced United States. As we celebrate this groundbreaking innovation, one should ponder: How can we, as a global community, facilitate the growth of such pioneering technology to counteract climate change? ?? How can your company or industry become a part of this environmental solution? ?? #ClimateAction #Innovation #Sustainability ??????

Here’s a summary of key updates in carbon removal initiatives: https://lnkd.in/eTypJBn3 ? BTG Pactual Timberland Investment Group (TIG) and Microsoft have signed a groundbreaking deal for Microsoft to purchase 8 million tons of carbon removal credits by 2043, solidifying one of the largest transactions in this field. ?? TIG's reforestation strategy spans conservation, restoration, and planting activities across 660,000 acres in Latin America, with a primary focus on the Cerrado biome in Brazil. This approach aims to generate carbon credits and effectively manage tree farms. ?? In line with its goal to achieve carbon negativity by 2030, Microsoft is collaborating with TIG. The partnership involves leveraging a diverse carbon removal portfolio that includes direct air capture, ocean-based removal, and biochar projects. ?? This initiative is poised to drive investments in conservation and amplify carbon removal endeavors to meet climate science mandates. It highlights the significant role of institutional investors in deploying nature-based solutions at a substantial scale. #CarbonRemoval #Sustainability #ClimateAction #Microsoft #TIG #Investments

"SUEZ is delighted to provide Microsoft with a resilient and innovative carbon capture solution. We look forward to further enabling companies to drive their decarbonisation in line with our climate commitment in our Sustainable Development Roadmap.” Sabrina Soussan Yesterday at the #VivaTech event in Paris, industrial biochar producer Carbonity (a joint venture between SUEZ, Airex Energy & Gestion Rémabec Inc) and carbon asset manager First Climate announced the signing of a forward contract with Microsoft to issue and deliver 36,000 tonnes of carbon credits over the next three years. Biochar produced from residues has been identified by the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) as one of the best and most effective negative emissions technologies. Because of its size and the established companies that make up the joint venture, Carbonity is one of the few carbon removal projects in the world that can deliver large volumes of removal credits. #carbonemissions #carboncredits #biochar
