Microsoft resumes its carbon removal plans
The carbon removal market can breathe more easily. Microsoft has agreed the offtake of 650,000 metric tons of carbon-removal credits from startup BioCirc.
Considering 90% of the carbon removal market in 2025 came from Microsoft, their pause last month caused more than a couple of sleepless nights for those invested in the carbon removal market.
The end of Microsoft's temporary purchasing pause combined with the steps forward taken by the EU Commission regarding CRCF mean biochar project developers can be cautiously optimistic about the future of the market.
