What is Pure Data Centres' new initiative involving carbon-removal credits, and who is its target customer?

Pure Data Centres, a UK firm backed by Oaktree Capital Management, is launching a platform through its climate-technology subsidiary A Healthier Earth to sell carbon-removal credits to large cloud-computing providers—specifically hyperscalers—helping them offset ballooning carbon emissions from AI workloads.

How does Pure DC plan to generate carbon-removal credits, and what is distinctive about its approach to using them?

Pure DC’s subsidiary A Healthier Earth is developing a biochar-based carbon project in Wiltshire, UK, where credits—each representing 1 metric ton of CO₂ removed via biochar—will be verified and issued before year-end; notably, Pure DC will not use any of these credits to offset its own emissions.
