Microsoft in deal for soil carbon credits with Indigo Carbon

Indigo Carbon PBC on Thursday announced that under a 12-year agreement, Microsoft (MSFT) will purchase 2.85 million credits generated under the Carbon by Indigo program, Indigo’s U.S.-based project. As Indigo and Microsoft’s third transaction, this deal builds on prior purchases of 40,000 tonnes in 2024 and 60,000 tonnes in 2025. “Microsoft’s purchase highlights the transformative power of regenerative agriculture to support watersheds, support farming communities, and advance global net-zero goals,” said Meredith Reisfield, Senior Director of Policy, Partnerships and Impact at Indigo. “Indigo is a proud catalyst of today’s soil carbon market, with our long-standing history of farmer collaboration and proven impact, already saving 64 billion gallons of water and issuing nearly one million tonnes of CO2e carbon removal credits since 2018.”
