# Google has reached its largest carbon removal partnership, with a Brazilian startup becoming its biggest carbon credit supplier

Google has reached its largest carbon removal partnership, agreeing to provide funding for Brazilian startup Mombak's Amazon rainforest restoration project. Currently, large tech companies are actively seeking high-quality carbon credits to offset the carbon emissions generated by their energy-intensive data centers.

The two companies revealed to Reuters that the agreement will offset 200,000 tons of carbon emissions. This scale is four times that of the pilot purchase agreement signed between Google and Mombak in September 2024, with Mombak being Google's sole forestry carbon credit supplier.

Both parties declined to comment on the value of the agreement.

The agreement highlights that large tech companies are looking for ways to mitigate climate impacts from their significant investments in energy-intensive artificial intelligence (AI) data centers, driving demand for carbon offset credits in Brazil's emerging afforestation industry.

Last year, Alphabet's Google committed over $100 million to a range of different carbon capture technologies, covering enhanced rock weathering, biochar, direct air capture, and a project aimed at increasing river acidity.

However, when it comes to increasing investment, the efficiency of afforestation is hard to replace.

"Of all the technologies we have to reduce atmospheric carbon, the least risky is photosynthesis," said Randy Spock, head of Google's carbon credit and removal business. He mentioned that photosynthesis is the process by which plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to produce oxygen and glucose.

This month, Brazil is hosting the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP30) in the Amazon city of Belém. The country is promoting this conference as the "Forest Climate Conference," advocating various conservation initiatives, including the proposed establishment of a new fund for tropical forests.

**Promoting Credible Carbon Offsets**

Spock stated that Google has consistently avoided so-called "Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation" (REDD) credits. These credits provide incentives to developers to protect forest areas that might otherwise be destroyed. However, Brazil's REDD market has been tumultuous due to allegations of fraud and connections to illegal loggers.

"We are increasing our investment in Mombak to four times the original amount because the credibility of their approach is extremely high," he said.

Mombak is dedicated to restoring degraded pastures to tropical rainforest, and the company's co-founder and CFO, Gabriel Silva, stated that businesses are benefiting from the current market's "quality-oriented trend."

"In the past, buyers were unclear about what they were purchasing when buying carbon credits. As a result, they would engage in low-quality projects, sometimes even fraudulent ones," he said.

To improve nature-based carbon removal standards, Google partnered last year with Meta, Salesforce, McKinsey, and Microsoft, the largest carbon credit buyer, to establish a buyer group called the "Symbiosis Coalition."

The coalition announced on Thursday that it has welcomed Bain & Company and REI Co-op as new members The alliance has committed to procuring over 20 million tons of nature-based carbon offset credits that meet its stricter scientific standards by 2030.

These standards include: requiring prudent and transparent carbon accounting methods, ensuring long-term protection, and ensuring that projects benefit biodiversity and local communities. Among the 185 projects reviewed by the alliance, the project by Montbark is the first to meet these standards.

Julia Strong, Executive Director of the Symbiosis Alliance, stated that Brazil has the most projects seeking alliance certification and added that more projects are expected to meet the certification standards soon.

Nevertheless, the supply of carbon credits that meet the highest standards is scarce, and strong buyers are willing to pay high prices for them, driving up the prices of the credits. While the retail price of REDD carbon credits may be below $10 per ton of CO2, carbon credits from emerging reforestation startups in Brazil are selling for over $50 per ton, with some even reaching $100.

"Companies are continuously improving in reducing production costs and increasing production efficiency, and we are also working in this direction," said Silva from Montbark, "but currently, market demand far exceeds supply."
