According to ESG Today, this is Google's first nature-based carbon credits purchase to date and follows an initial commitment made by the company this year which sees it invest at least 35 million USD in carbon credits over the course of one year.
Mombak CTO Dan Harburg said that "this collaboration with Google is a major milestone in our mission to become the world’s largest and most impactful carbon removal project developer. We look forward to working with Google and other leading organizations to further develop the field of nature-based carbon removal, ensuring that our projects continue to meet the highest standards for climate impact, transparency, and community engagement."
Founded in 2021, Mombak is a company that focuses on large-scale nature-based carbon removal projects, through reforestation, starting with Amazon's rainforest. This way, the company wants to solve two issues: carbon removal and supporting the local ecosystems, while generating employment and social impact for the local communities. Last year, the company signed an agreement with Microsoft, which translated into a project that sees the removal of 1.5 million tons of carbon emissions.
