Google expands climate strategy to target methane and other superpollutants

By ESG Post October 21, 2025

Google has announced plans to address greenhouse gases beyond carbon dioxide by purchasing credits
to support the emerging market for removing short-lived but highly potent “superpollutants.” The
company will buy up to 25,000 tonnes of superpollutant-destruction credits by 2030 from two
organisations, Recoolit and Cool Effect—equivalent to about one million tonnes of CO₂ removal over the
long term.
