Symbiosis Coalition members and Tencent announce long-term offtake agreements with Thryve.Earth
Thryve.Earth announced its first corporate offtake commitments: separate deals with Symbiosis Coalition members – a buyers' coalition for nature-based carbon removal – and Tencent – a global Internet and technology company. Google and McKinsey have contracted 335,000 tonnes of carbon removal from Thryve.Earth's agroforestry project in Sulawesi, Indonesia. This marks the first agroforestry project included within Google’s carbon removal program. Tencent committed to forward offtakes of 300,000 tonnes of carbon removal over 10 years, representing the company’s first offtake agreement outside of China.
