Microsoft inks large deal with soil carbon credit firm Indigo
This is one of the first soil carbon deals to feature credits approved under the ICVCM's Core Carbon Principles.
Microsoft will purchase 2.85 million soil carbon removal credits generated from regenerative agriculture practices from Indigo over 12 years.
The agreement announced this week is Indigo and Microsoft’s third transaction after the tech giant bought 40,000 tonnes of soil carbon credits in 2024 and 60,000 tonnes in 2025. It is one of many forward purchase agreements signed by Microsoft with various types of carbon credit firms in recent years, as it continues to pursue carbon negativity despite a sharp rise in emissions linked to AI deployment.
