Tech giant Google wants to tackle other forms of greenhouse emissions outside of carbon dioxide, and is buying credits to kick-start a new removals market.
While most people think of CO2 when it comes to GHG removal, Google says it now wants to also tackle gases like methane, hydrofluorocarbons, chlorofluorocarbons and nitrous oxide.
