Digital Reef Signs Offtake Agreement with Oreasoc Agriculture to Mitigate the Environmental Footprint of Data Centre Growth Through Rainforest Protection, Appointing Xange.com as Digital MRV Partner
The offtake agreement connects Digital Reef's 3.3 GW data centre pipeline with environmental assets from more than 30 million hectares of Amazon rainforest across South America, where Oreasoc Agriculture works directly on the ground alongside local communities to develop sustainable economies and safeguard their territories. Xange.com's digital MRV technology monitors both the data centres and the rainforest.
NEW YORK, September 25, 2026--At Climate Week NYC, Digital Reef and Oreasoc Agriculture Inc. sign an offtake agreement connecting Digital Reef's 3.3 GW data centre pipeline with environmental assets exceeding 30 million hectares of South American Amazon rainforest, mitigating the environmental footprint of data centre growth through rainforest protection and restoration where Oreasoc works alongside local communities to protect biodiversity, develop sustainable economies and safeguard their territories.
Xange.com are appointed as digital MRV technology partner to monitor the data centres and rainforest where Digital Reef will purchase verified environmental assets generated by Oreasoc, supporting the development of low-carbon data centres mitigating their environmental footprint through the protection of high-integrity natural ecosystems across the South American Amazon, whilst advancing sustainable economic development.
AI and data centre demand is driving rapid growth, with the International Energy Agency projecting data centre global electricity demand will more than double by 2030, to around 945 TWh. The growth should be countered by emission mitigation, focused on energy and water conservation and efficiency. Emissions that cannot yet be eliminated can be mitigated through the purchase of verified environmental assets generated by Oreasoc and the local communities protecting rainforest across the South American Amazon, one of the world's largest natural carbon stores and a cornerstone of global climate stability.
Xange.com provides the technology for transparent emissions accounting across data centre design, construction and operation, and for monitoring rainforest:
Xange.ai: dMRV for data centres, manages performance from design through operations recording energy use, water usage and emissions.
Xange.com Polaris: dMRV for environmental data, capturing satellite and ground data from protected rainforest to verify the environmental assets generated.
"The Amazon cannot wait. As the planet grows hotter every year, the need to protect these forests becomes more urgent," said Héctor José Orea Pulido, Founder of Oreasoc Agriculture Inc. "Long-term climate capital is essential to protecting nature at this scale. The growth of AI creates exactly that demand, with the Digital Reef agreement directing part of it to protecting the forests of the South American Amazon supporting climate stability whilst matching the needs of the planet and the AI sector."
