The tech giant announced today that it had contracted for credits generated by projects that will eliminate 25,000 tons of methane and hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) by 2030. Because the two gases trap heat more effectively than carbon dioxide, the impact of the credits over 100 years will be equivalent to eliminating 1 million tons of CO2, the company noted.
A second project, developed by the non-profit Cool Effect, will help fund the installation of methane destruction equipment at a landfill in Cuiabá, Brazil.
