Symbiosis Members Google, Meta And McKinsey Invest In Reforestation CDR By Living Carbon
Members of the Symbiosis Coalition, including Google, Meta, and McKinsey & Company, have invested in a reforestation-based carbon removal project developed by Living Carbon. The project is the second selected under the Coalition’s initial Request for Proposals (RFP), which targets over 500,000 tonnes of removals over 10 years. It will be the first Symbiosis project registered under Isometric’s Reforestation Protocol. The transaction contributes to the Coalition’s broader target of contracting more than 20 million tonnes of high-quality nature-based carbon removal credits by 2030.

Carbon-Removal Credits Licensed by EU Get Nasdaq Backing
EU-licensed carbon removal credits are attracting growing investor interest, highlighting rising demand for high-integrity, policy-aligned carbon assets. Nasdaq and Dutch payments provider Adyen are among the buyers of credits from a Stockholm-based project operated by Stockholm Exergi. The facility uses bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS), converting agricultural and woody residues into energy while capturing and storing CO₂ deep beneath the North Sea, where it mineralizes over time. The development reflects increasing participation from both corporate and financial buyers and signals that EU-aligned removal credits are emerging as a premium segment in carbon markets, with strong implications for future pricing and capital allocation.

Apple Beats ‘Carbon Neutral’ Lawsuit, But Greenwashing Scrutiny Is Heating Up
Apple has won a lawsuit over its carbon neutrality claims, but the case highlights intensifying scrutiny around corporate use of carbon credits. The company cited the retirement of credits from nature-based projects, including forestry initiatives, to support its claims. However, the lawsuit questioned whether such offsets can genuinely neutralize emissions. While the ruling reduces immediate legal risk, it underscores growing concerns over greenwashing and the credibility of offset-based strategies. The case reflects broader market pressure for greater transparency and higher integrity in corporate climate claims.

Boeing and Carbonfuture Sign Multi-Year Agreement for at least 40,000 Tonnes of Durable Carbon Removal
Boeing has signed a multi-year agreement with Carbonfuture to purchase at least 40,000 tonnes of durable carbon removal, marking a continued shift toward long-term carbon management strategies in hard-to-abate sectors. The deal focuses on high-durability solutions such as biochar, supported by Carbonfuture’s MRV and tracking infrastructure.
The agreement reflects a broader trend among corporates to secure long-term access to carbon removal rather than relying on spot offset purchases. For the aviation sector, where decarbonization options remain limited, durable carbon removal is becoming an increasingly critical component of net-zero pathways.
This development highlights the growing role of long-term offtake agreements and reinforces the emergence of a differentiated market between high-durability carbon removal and traditional nature-based credits.

In A New Deal, Microsoft Buys Forest Restoration Credits From Rainforest Builder
Microsoft signed a major 15‑year offtake with Rainforest Builder for up to 1.8 million carbon removal credits from Project Buffalo in Sierra Leone—one of Africa’s largest CDR deals to date. The project is restoring the heavily degraded Upper Guinean Forest, with over 1.8 million trees already planted and a goal of 10 million across 15,000 hectares. Beyond carbon removal, it boosts biodiversity, local employment, and community benefits, supporting Microsoft’s goal to be carbon negative by 2030.

Mitsui & Co., Ltd. Signs 18 MW Virtual PPA With NIKE Japan Group, LLC For Solar Energy Supply
Mitsui & Co. and its subsidiary MPS have signed a long‑term virtual power purchase agreement with NIKE Japan to supply renewable energy through Non‑FIT Non‑Fossil Certificates from 16 solar plants. A virtual power purchase agreement allows companies to buy the environmental value of renewable electricity without directly receiving the physical power. Instead, the electricity is supplied to the grid, while the environmental attributes are transferred through certificates. The VPPA covers 18 MW of capacity—3 MW from new projects and 15 MW from recently built solar plants—enabling NIKE Japan to source 100% renewable electricity for its facilities nationwide. The agreement supports Japan’s growing corporate renewable energy market and advances both companies’ climate goals while strengthening investment in domestic solar development.
