Microsoft buys 626,000 tonnes of CDR credits from Canada BECCS project

Microsoft has agreed to purchase 626,000 tonnes of durable carbon dioxide removal (CDR) over 15 years from the North Star BECCS project in Saskatchewan. The project, co‑located at a biomass power facility, is developed by North Star Carbon Solutions, a partnership between an Indigenous council and a clean‑tech firm. It will capture and permanently store CO₂ in geological formations, generating up to 90,000 tonnes of CDR credits annually. The deal marks Microsoft’s first Canadian BECCS offtake and a milestone for Indigenous‑led carbon removal.
