In a recent press release, CO280 Solutions, a leading developer of carbon dioxide removal projects, announced that it was awarded Preliminary Front-End Engineering and Design (Pre-FEED) contracts to technology and engineering suppliers for a groundbreaking carbon removal project in Canada. The press release states "The project is designed to capture and permanently store over 800,000 tonnes per year of biogenic CO2, beginning in 2029. The resulting CDR credits will be sold to buyers in the carbon market. The award of the Pre-FEED contracts follows the successful completion of a Pre-Feasibility study by CO280 and the pulp and paper mill partner in 2024. The Pre-FEED study will evaluate the integration of commercially proven liquid amine carbon capture technology into the existing mill infrastructure. In parallel, CO280 and its partners have initiated marketing and sales of CDR credits to buyers in the carbon market, community engagement consultations, and project financing." In May 2025, CO280 announced that it and JPMorganChase signed a carbon removal offtake agreement from a project that will capture and permanently store biogenic carbon emissions from a pulp and paper mill in the U.S. Gulf Coast. In April 2025, CO280 announced that it signed a landmark 3.69 million tonne agreement with Microsoft to Scale-Up Carbon Dioxide removal in the US pulp and paper industry. On its website, it states that CO280 is raising the bar by delivering permanent, quality Carbon Dioxide Removal affordably, helping enable a sustainable future.
