Scaling high-quality carbon removal with Weyerhaeuser

Scaling high-quality carbon removal with Weyerhaeuser

Carbon Direct and Weyerhaeuser are collaborating to deliver best-in-class, science-backed improved forest management (IFM) credits. These projects provide climate, water quality, and biodiversity benefits across 200,000+ acres of working forests.

Microsoft and Carbon Direct set the standard for carbon credit quality

Microsoft, the world’s largest buyer of carbon dioxide removal (CDR) credits, collaborates with Carbon Direct each year to refine industry-leading quality criteria for CDR projects. Our scientists apply these criteria to every Weyerhaeuser project, helping them meet the highest standards for scientific rigor and environmental integrity.

Best-in-class IFM credits

Weyerhaeuser, one of the world's largest private owners of sustainable timberlands, began operations in 1900 and today owns or controls approximately 10.4 million acres of timberlands in the US. Together, Carbon Direct and Weyerhaeuser are scaling science-backed natural climate solutions. Why are these IFM credits best-in-class?

Large-scale impact for climate and nature

These projects change the way 200,000+ acres of forests are managed to sequester and store more carbon. By delaying harvests, these projects deliver large-scale benefits for climate, water quality, and biodiversity.

Cost-effective, science-backed solutions

Delaying harvest is an established, cost-effective carbon removal solution. Our scientists evaluate each project against our Criteria to assist in accurate project baselines and real, additional climate impact.

Proven track record in sustainable forest management

All projects adhere to Sustainable Forestry Initiative® (SFI) requirements for delivering positive outcomes, reinforcing Weyerhaeuser’s long history of sustainable forestry management.

Ongoing monitoring, reporting, and verification

In addition to Weyerhaeuser’s onsite monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV) program, Carbon Direct scientists conduct ongoing MRV and provide regular updates on credit status for up to three years after purchase.

Streamlined contracting and reduced risk

Carbon Direct helps buyers curate high-quality carbon removal portfolios, streamline contracting, and minimize risk exposure through market-leading delivery protections.

Support rural communities

Weyerhaeuser and its projects create forestry and timber-based manufacturing jobs in rural communities across the United States while continuing to steward all of the ecosystem benefits forests provide.

Supporting local climate projects

Weyerhaeuser projects are located in rural areas in the US, with low wildfire risk. These IFM projects sequester carbon by extending harvest rotations and forgoing harvest in established streamside management zones.
