Altitude secures 120,000 t of CORCs from verified biochar facilities in West Africa, deepening its regional engagement and advancing its strategy to scale high-integrity carbon removal.

Altitude, a leading carbon removal financier, is pleased to announce that it has secured an additional 120,000t of CORCs from biochar-based carbon dioxide removal (CDR) facilities in West Africa. This new commitment complements Altitude’s earlier financing of 25,000t of CORCs in West Africa.

The procurement aligns with Altitude’s long-term strategy of enabling multi-million t CDR.

Julien Jacob, Head of Offtakes & Investment Solutions at Puro.earth, added:“Altitude’s continued long-term offtake with Puro CORC projects is precisely the kind of commitment the carbon removal market needs to catalyze investment and scale.
