Google signs its biggest rice-methane carbon credit deal with Indian startup Mitti Labs

Google agreed to buy 1 million carbon credits from Indian climate-tech startup Mitti Labs through 2030, described as the largest publicly announced deal for credits from cutting methane in rice farming. The four-year agreement covers farms in Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, reaching about 100,000 hectares at peak delivery; financial terms were undisclosed. Farmers are paid to shorten field flooding, cutting methane by around 50% and irrigation water by 40% without reducing yields. Google’s 2025 emissions rose 18% to about 14.5 million tonnes CO2e.
