Living Carbon, a public benefit company transforming degraded and underutilized land into high quality environmental assets, has announced that Microsoft has agreed to purchase 1.4 million tonnes of carbon removal credits from Living Carbon’s US-based reforestation projects. The credits will be generated through Living Carbon’s large-scale reforestation of 25,000 acres of degraded lands in the broader Appalachian region, with a primary focus on areas previously impacted by coal mining.
Latham & Watkins LLP represents Living Carbon in the transaction with a deal team led by New York partners JP Brisson and Peyton Worley, with associates Qingyi Pan* and Tal Carmeli.
