How Can Carbon Removal Help Companies Become Carbon Neutral?
There is no denying that companies play a significant part in emitting carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere and depleting the planet's resources. However, several major corporations such as Microsoft, Swiss RE and SEB are have now started using carbon removal to reliably compensate for their unavoidable emissions and meet their targets of becoming net-zero. Long gone are the days when carbon neutrality was easily achieved by buying traditional emission reduction offsets where one company pays someone else to reduce or avoid their emissions. Nowadays, companies strive to become carbon neutral by reducing their own direct emissions and those of their suppliers, through better product design, improved logistics and renewable energy to mention a few. But there are always some emissions that remain, and it is these that corporations such as Microsoft are turning to carbon removal certificates to solve.
