Shopify purchases 10,000 tonnes of carbon removal from Carbon Engineering
E-commerce giant Shopify has agreed to purchase 10,000 tonnes of direct air capture (DAC) carbon removal from Squamish-based startup Carbon Engineering. This new purchase is in addition to a previous 5,000-tonne commitment Shopify made with Switzerland-based Climeworks.
The purchase of carbon removal is being made through Shopify’s Sustainability Fund, which launched in 2019.
Shopify claims it has now purchased more tonnes of DAC carbon removal than any other company in history. A spokesperson for Shopify told BetaKit the e-commerce company verified this claim with Carbon Engineering and Climeworks, and also measured its purchase against all publicly disclosed DAC purchases to date. The spokesperson declined to disclose the price of the latest purchase to BetaKit.
