Boeing
Purchased 20,000 metric tons of permanent CO2 removal from six suppliers through carbon removal marketplace Supercritical. The projects come from four countries (Bolivia, Brazil, India, and Namibia) and consist of biochar and enhanced rock weathering projects.

Meta
Announced a first-of-its-kind agreement and partnership with Overview Energy to advance space-based solar energy, with an initial orbital demonstration in 2028 and commercial power delivery aimed for 2030. The agreement provides Meta early access to up to 1 GW of capacity from Overview’s space solar energy system, which collects sunlight in space and beams it as near-infrared energy (which is passively safe to humans, animals and aircraft) to existing solar facilities on the ground where the energy is converted into electricity, enabling continuous production of power.

PepsiCo
Along with its suppliers Givaudan and Smurfit Westrock, signed a 10-year virtual power purchase agreement (VPPA) to buy electricity from renewable energy producer Statkraft, under PepsiCo’s pep+ REnew program, which helps suppliers, manufacturers and bottlers transition to renewable electricity. The companies will purchase electricity from a wind project in Spain that is currently being repowered with more efficient turbines (reducing environmental impacts and accelerating the delivery of new renewable energy to the grid). The companies expect to reduce CO2 emissions by 32,000 metric tons per year through this VPPA. PR »
