Google strikes world’s largest biochar carbon removal deal with Indian startup Varaha
Google has agreed to purchase 100,000 tons of carbon dioxide removal credits from Indian startup Varaha.
The offtake agreement credits will be delivered to Google by 2030 from Varaha’s industrial biochar project in the western Indian state of Gujarat, the two firms said on Thursday. Varaha will harvest the plant and make efforts to restore native grasslands in the region, the company’s co-founder and CEO, Madhur Jain, said in an interview. It even has a mobile app that captures geo-tagged, time-stamped images to geographically document activities, including biomass excavation and biochar’s field application.
