Indigo Carbon PBC has announced a significant soil carbon transaction through an agreement, in which Microsoft will acquire 2.85 million soil carbon credits generated by Indigo’s Carbon by Indigo program in the U.S. This partnership reinforces regenerative agriculture as a credible carbon removal solution. This is the third deal between the two companies. They had transactions in 2024 and 2025. This helps Microsoft reach its goal of being carbon negative by 2030. It also shows Indigo’s ability to scale verified soil carbon removals. The program does more than sequester carbon. It improves soil health, conserves water, boosts crop resilience, and supports rural economies.
