A Strategic Approach to Scaling Carbon Removal

The agreement supports multiple durable carbon removal technologies, including Direct Air Carbon Capture and Storage (DACCS) and Biochar Carbon Removal (BCR) from various projects in SIX’s main countries of operations. These pioneering projects are driving scalable, innovative solutions in carbon removal. Among them is Octavia Carbon, the first DACCS company in the Global South. With Carbonfuture MRV+, Octavia implements real-time data tracking across the entire carbon removal process, from carbon capture to storage, ensuring full transparency and integrity of carbon removal.

By securing a high-quality carbon removal supply today, SIX is ensuring long-term availability and price stability as demand continues to rise. While these credits are not applied to SIX’s near-term SBTi targets, they lay the foundation for future neutralization of residual emissions, aligning with SBTi guidelines for achieving net-zero emissions.
