Carbon Removal Market Hits Historic 1 Million Delivery Milestone
Affiliate Disclosure
Hey fellow impactful ninja ?
You may have noticed that Impactful Ninja is all about providing helpful information to make a positive impact on the world and society. And that we love to link back to where we found all the information for each of our posts.
Most of these links are informational-based for you to check out their primary sources with one click.
But some of these links are so-called "affiliate links" to products that we recommend.
Why do we add these product links?
First and foremost, because we believe that they add value to you. For example, when we wrote a post about the environmental impact of long showers, we came across an EPA recommendation to use WaterSense showerheads. So we linked to where you can find them. Or, for many of our posts, we also link to our favorite books on that topic so that you can get a much more holistic overview than one single blog post could provide.
And when there is an affiliate program for these products, we sign up for it. For example, as Amazon Associates, we earn from qualifying purchases.
What do these affiliate links mean for you?
First, and most importantly, we still only recommend products that we believe add value for you.
When you buy something through one of our affiliate links, we may earn a small commission - but at no additional costs to you.
And when you buy something through a link that is not an affiliate link, we won’t receive any commission but we’ll still be happy to have helped you.
What do these affiliate links mean for us?
When we find products that we believe add value to you and the seller has an affiliate program, we sign up for it.
When you buy something through one of our affiliate links, we may earn a small commission (at no extra costs to you).
And at this point in time, all money is reinvested in sharing the most helpful content with you. This includes all operating costs for running this site and the content creation itself.
What does this mean for me personally?
You may have noticed by the way Impactful Ninja is operated that money is not the driving factor behind it. It is a passion project of mine and I love to share helpful information with you to make a positive impact on the world and society. However, it's a project in that I invest a lot of time and also quite some money.
Eventually, my dream is to one day turn this passion project into my full-time job and provide even more helpful information. But that's still a long time to go.

1️⃣ The big picture: The durable carbon dioxide removal (CDR) market has just crossed a major milestone, delivering 1 million carbon credits according to CDR.fyi data. This achievement involved 117 suppliers from 28+ countries delivering verified carbon removal to 521 buyers spanning 35 countries. Biochar emerged as the leading CDR pathway, followed by bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS), CO2 mineralization, marine CDR, enhanced weathering, and direct air capture. The growth has been powered primarily by major corporate buyers including Microsoft, Frontier, Google, and JPMorgan Chase, with Microsoft’s 1.24 million tonne biochar purchase standing as one of the industry’s largest deals.
2️⃣ Why is this good news: Reaching the 1 million delivery mark represents tangible climate action moving beyond promises to actual implementation. The diverse geographic distribution across 28+ supplier countries and 35 buyer countries demonstrates how carbon removal is becoming a truly global solution. Multiple carbon removal technologies are proving viable at scale, with biochar leading but several other pathways also contributing significantly. The rapid growth throughout 2025 indicates increasing market confidence, with 15 million tonnes of CO2 removal already contracted by mid-year. This milestone sends a strong signal to hesitant buyers looking for credible climate solutions, potentially catalyzing even faster market expansion.
3️⃣ What’s next: The CDR sector must maintain this delivery momentum to meet the growing contracted volume of 15 million tonnes. Suppliers will need to continue demonstrating reliability to attract new buyers still hesitant about entering the market. The success of biochar could lead to more investment in this pathway while also encouraging growth in other promising CDR technologies.
