>If it would be carbon negative show me where it removed CO2 from the air and how it is stored now "forever".

Seems you didn't read the article, as they expressly aren't planting trees nor is the offsetting what makes them carbon negative.
The offsetting is one thing but they are also funding credits to startups that physically remove carbon from the air and sequestering it in these carbon capture programs.
The offset credits are gold standard credits that have to remove the carbon with in a set timeframe of their existence, be audited, and have a positive human impact.
For each credit worth of carbon DDG activities do, they are offsetting 1.25 credits worth of carbon through purchasing those credits.
But, further still they are then buying additional credits through startups that actually remove carbon from the air and sequester it, as it outlines in the article.
