Puro.earth Issues One Million CO₂ Removal Certificates, Expanding Carbon Credit Impact

Puro.earth issues one million CO₂ certificates, accelerating global carbon removal with scalable, verifiable solutions.

Since its initial issuance in 2019, Puro.earth, the premier carbon-crediting platform for carbon dioxide removal (CDR), has issued more than 1 million CO₂ Removal Certificates (CORCs), signifying 1 million tonnes of verified carbon removal.

The fact that Puro.earth has issued one million carbon credits highlights its contribution to the growth of the carbon removal industry and the development of designed carbon removals as a vital climate solution. It took almost five years to obtain 500,000 issued CORCs (Q1 2024), but in Q1 2025, that figure doubled to one million. Puro.earth is currently on target to reach this milestone once more by the end of H1 2026, thanks to its exponential growth in issuance.

Jan-Willem Bode, President of Puro.earth, stated that achieving one million CO₂ removals is just the start. He emphasized their goal to leverage their expertise and track record to provide scalable, high-quality carbon removal credits. Bode noted that the next million is already within reach, and they remain committed to ensuring businesses globally have access to trusted, verifiable carbon removal credits at scale.

Just over half (52.13%) of the initial one million issuances have now been retired, resulting in the claim of 5,76,5613 metric tons of CO2. Geologically Stored Carbon (GSC) (34.3% of issuances), including Direct Air Capture Carbon and Storage (DACCS) and Bio Energy Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS), and biochar (34.1%), are the methods used by Puro.earth to achieve this milestone. Because they provide scalable, high-impact carbon removal solutions with well-defined procedures and quantifiable results, both approaches have been well-liked by purchasers.

With almost half (45%) of all issuances, the United States tops the world in issuances by a wide margin. The substantial number of vendors and carbon removal projects in that market is the cause of this. The United States is followed by Brazil (9.15%), Bolivia (9.64%), and Finland (9.87%). Austria, Norway, and the United Kingdom are additional European markets that are driving issuances.
