Microsoft Expands Carbon Removal Efforts with UNDO's Enhanced Rock Weathering

Microsoft has strengthened its commitment to carbon removal by partnering with UNDO, a company specializing in enhanced rock weathering (ERW), to remove 15,000 tonnes of CO2. This deal builds on a 2023 agreement between the two organizations, which removed 5,000 tonnes of CO2 by spreading crushed basalt on UK agricultural land. Under the new arrangement, UNDO will spread 65,000 tonnes of crushed basalt and wollastonite across farmland in the UK and Canada, facilitating CO2 absorption through natural soil and plant processes. Alongside carbon capture, the project aims to improve soil quality and fund crucial research on ERW’s scalability, focusing on measurement, reporting, and verification (MRV). Microsoft, committed to being carbon-negative by 2030, views this partnership as a key part of its broader strategy, which includes diverse carbon removal technologies like direct air capture and biochar. UNDO’s innovative approach offers significant potential for scalable and permanent carbon removal solutions.
