Microsoft Makes First CDR Purchase Since Talks Of A Buying Slowdown

Microsoft has signed a seven-year carbon dioxide removal (CDR) agreement with Danish energy company BioCirc for up to 650,000 tons of removals generated through a BECCS platform in Denmark. The deal marks Microsoft’s first publicly announced CDR purchase since reports emerged that the company was slowing parts of its carbon removal procurement. Under the agreement, BioCirc will deliver 100,000 carbon removal units annually from biogenic CO2 captured and permanently stored from five biogas plants. The captured CO2 will be stored in geological formations beneath the Danish North Sea. Microsoft accounted for 43% of contracted CDR volumes in the first half of 2026, according to CDR.fyi. Initial deliveries are expected to begin in the second half of 2026.
