Microsoft has signed the world’s largest biochar carbon removal agreement with Bolivia-based Exomad Green. The 10-year deal will permanently eliminate 1.24 million tonnes of carbon dioxide, equal to the yearly emissions of over 260,000 cars. This marks a significant step in Microsoft’s push to become carbon negative by 2030 and remove its historical emissions by 2050. By locking in high-durability carbon removals, Microsoft is demonstrating a long-term commitment to verifiable climate action.
