At the same time, one of NorthX's earliest CDR investments, Arca Climate Technologies, a leader in industrial mineralization, announced a major milestone—securing an offtake agreement with Microsoft to deliver nearly 300,000 tonnes of durable carbon removal over the next decade.

Canada now stands among global leaders in CDR, with two NorthX-backed homegrown companies, Arca Climate Technologies and CO280—a carbon removal project developer working in collaboration with North American pulp and paper mills—ranked among the world's top ten for engineered CDR offtake agreements.
