Altitude Purchases +165,000t Of Carbon Removal From South American Partners Ecogaia & Emisiones Neutras - CleanTechnica

Altitude, a prominent carbon removal financier, has purchased over 165,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide removal credits (CORCs) from South American partners Ecogaia and Emisiones Neutras. These Argentine facilities utilize advanced pyrolysis technology to convert waste biomass into biochar, a stable carbon form that can sequester CO₂ for over a thousand years. The CORCs are issued and verified through the Puro Registry, ensuring transparency and traceability. This deal not only reinforces Altitude’s position as a leading global buyer of carbon dioxide removal (CDR) but also supports projects that improve local waste treatment infrastructure and promote circular economy benefits. The long-term offtake agreement provides financial certainty for project developers, facilitating the scaling of durable carbon removal solutions in South America. Altitude has also been active in other regions, securing 145,000 tonnes of biochar CORCs from Western Africa and significantly expanding its Ascent 1 financing facility from 50,000 to 250,000 tonnes
