What happened
- A 12-year offtake agreement to deliver 2.6 million soil carbon removal credits to Microsoft from US crop and rangeland projects. Closing wording: Agoro Carbon "signed a landmark 12-year offtake agreement to deliver 2.6 million carbon removal credits to Microsoft". Practices named are cover cropping, improved grazing and reduced tillage, under Verra's VM0042 Improved Agricultural Land Management methodology. No value or price disclosed and no payment timing stated. Backfill: found by the sweep of 10 October 2026 via Agoro Carbon's first issuance under the agreement, reported in Carbon Removal Weekly week 39, which revealed the underlying agreement was absent from the book.
Kumo note
- One of the largest soil carbon offtakes on record by volume, at 2.6 million credits over twelve years, written against Verra's VM0042 agricultural land management methodology rather than a durable removal pathway.
