Software giant Microsoft continues its spree of carbon removal purchases. The latest contract has been awarded to enhanced weathering company UNDO.
The purchase is the first of its kind for Microsoft with UNDO committing to spread 25,000 tonnes of basalt rock on farmland. The goal in terms of carbon removal will be to sequester 5,000 tonnes (5,511 tons) of CO2 over the next two decades.
Microsoft becomes a corporate client of UNDO’s but the Scottish company does also offer monthly subscription packages to individual customers.
Plans for removing the equivalent of 20, 40 and 150 kilograms of carbon dioxide are all available. Prices range from £10 (~$11) to £75 (~$83) per month and there are also annual subscriptions.
