Bolivia’s Exomad Green, Microsoft Enter Into Landmark Carbon Credit Agreement
The largest-ever carbon removal deal involving biochar, marking a major milestone in the carbon removal market, turns sustainable forestry residues from Bolivia’s Exomad Green SRL into credits purchased by Microsoft. The long-term contract involves the verified removal of 1.24 million tons of carbon dioxide over the next decade and is recognized as the largest-ever carbon removal deal involving biochar to date.
This agreement establishes biochar as a scalable solution for carbon credit procurement, and serves as a viable path toward corporate net-zero commitments.
This transaction was handled by Lawson Huck Gonzalez, PLLC (Lawson) partner Harold “Ed” Patricoff, Jr., an authority in climate and energy transition law. His move marks a significant step in the firm’s expansion into cross-border and climate-related transactions, with the firm now having five offices across Florida.
“This agreement reflects a new era of climate accountability,” explains Patricoff. “Exomad Green has demonstrated how scalable innovation can deliver credible, science-backed carbon removal. And Microsoft’s decision to contract for these removals sets an important precedent for corporate climate strategies grounded in integrity and impact.”
