How Big Tech Is Quietly Buying Up Carbon Removal Credits

Lucas and Luna explore a little-noticed but fast-growing trend: major tech companies are quietly becoming the biggest buyers of carbon removal credits. With Microsoft, Amazon, and Meta each committing hundreds of millions to direct air capture and other carbon removal technologies, this episode looks at the numbers, the motivations, and the controversy. Lucas breaks down Microsoft's $1.2 billion commitment to direct air capture, Amazon's role in the Frontier Fund, and the growing debate over whether carbon credits are a genuine climate solution or a distraction. Luna pushes back on the efficacy and transparency concerns. The conversation ties into broader questions about Big Tech's environmental impact and whether these purchases are a genuine shift or just a PR play. A focused, data-driven look at a topic that is only going to become more important. #CarbonRemoval #BigTech #Microsoft #Amazon #Meta #DirectAirCapture #ClimateTech #FrontierFund #CarbonCredits #ESG #NetZero #ClimateChange #Technology #Business #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #SustainableTech #LucasAndLuna Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
