British Airways has partnered with U.K.-based Cur8 to purchase 33,000 metric tons of carbon removal credits through its Cur8 portfolio, the carrier announced Monday. The deal is valued at £9 million and features projects mostly in the United Kingdom, with some overseas.
One project in Scotland captures CO2 emissions from whisky distilleries and repurposes them into building materials. Another, with locations across the U.K., uses an enhanced weathering technique to lock away carbon for thousands of years, according to BA. Other projects are based in Canada and India.
