SUNYA SUMMARY
- Google has announced a partnership with Vaulted Deep to focus on removing CO2 and eliminating methane emissions. - Vaulted’s technology involves injecting organic waste deep underground to permanently store it, preventing the release of greenhouse gases. - A purchase agreement has been signed to remove 50,000 tonnes of CO2 by 2030, certified by Isometric. - The partnership aims to quantify methane emissions eliminated through the waste storage process. - This collaboration will also help reduce local pollution and boost the economy in communities where Vaulted operates, starting in Hutchinson, Kansas. - This initiative builds on Google's ongoing efforts to mitigate the impacts of superpollutants, particularly methane. - Methane is significantly more potent than CO2 in the near term, having over 80 times the warming power over the first 20 years. - This partnership represents a significant step toward enhancing the measurement and transparency of the atmospheric impact of both CO2 and superpollutants.

Today, we’re announcing a partnership with Vaulted Deep that targets two outcomes for the atmosphere: permanently removing CO2 and eliminating methane emissions from waste.

Vaulted’s technology injects organic waste—which would otherwise release CO2 and methane into the atmosphere—deep underground for permanent storage. We’ve signed a purchase agreement to remove 50,000 tonnes of CO2 by 2030, certified by leading registry Isometric. Together, we’ll also be working to explore how the methane emissions eliminated through this process can be quantified. The collaboration will also help reduce local pollution and strengthen the economy in communities where Vaulted operates, starting in Hutchinson, Kansas.

This partnership builds on our efforts to mitigate the impacts of superpollutants like methane, which warms the planet 80 times as powerfully as CO2 in the near term. This marks an important step in expanding the same scientific rigor and transparency for measuring the atmospheric impact of CO2 to superpollutants.
