Altitude secures 360,000t of CORCs from Alcom’s biochar facilities in India and the Philippines, expanding its high-integrity CDR portfolio and advancing scalable, sustainable carbon removal across Asia.

Altitude, a leading Carbon Removal Financier, has committed to procuring over 360,000 (three hundred and sixty thousand) tons of CO₂ Removal Certificates (CORCs) from Alcom biochar-based carbon removal (CDR) facilities in the Philippines and India.
