Building on Google’s ongoing carbon removal efforts, we’re announcing two new partnerships to help our atmosphere in the near-term by eliminating superpollutants. Our partnerships with Recoolit and Cool Effect are focused on eliminating more than 25,000 tons of superpollutants by 2030 — aiming to prevent warming roughly equivalent to 1 million tons of CO2 in the long-term (and, given their potency, 3 million tons in the short-term).
“Superpollutants” are gases that warm the atmosphere more potently than CO2. These partnerships aim to eliminate superpollutants in two ways: by destroying fluorinated gases from residential and commercial cooling systems in Indonesia and by destroying methane from landfills in Brazil.
We believe this is a key step toward limiting near-term warming, and if we use the credits from these purchases to help neutralize Google’s emissions, we’ll either match them against shorter-lived emissions in our own footprint or replace them with longer-lived credits as their atmospheric impact expires.
