en.Wedoany.com Reported - Recently, tech giant Microsoft entered into a large-scale, 12-year soil carbon credit purchase agreement with agricultural technology company Indigo Carbon PBC, signaling a significant boost in confidence within the voluntary carbon market for nature-based carbon removal solutions.

Under the agreement, Microsoft will purchase 2.85 million soil carbon credits generated by Indigo Carbon PBC through its "Carbon by Indigo" program. The program promotes regenerative agriculture practices such as cover cropping and rotational grazing across the United States to enhance soil carbon stocks. This transaction marks the third collaboration between the two parties since 2024, further solidifying the long-term carbon removal supply chain Microsoft is building to achieve its 2030 carbon-negative goal. For Indigo Ag, this move demonstrates that regenerative agriculture can deliver high-integrity carbon credits at the scale required by corporations. The program currently covers over 8 million acres of farmland and has cumulatively paid $40 million to farmers. The credits in this transaction adhere to the Core Carbon Principles of the Integrity Council for the Voluntary Carbon Market (ICVCM) and are verified under the Climate Action Reserve's Soil Enrichment Protocol. Meredith Reisfield, Senior Director of Policy, Partnerships, and Impact at Indigo Carbon PBC, stated that the deal highlights the transformative power of regenerative agriculture in supporting watersheds, farming communities, and global net-zero goals.
