About the Session

Five years ago, carbon removal was a handful of pilots and early purchases. Today it is a maturing market, with repeat buyers, multi-year offtakes and growing recognition in corporate standards and government policy.

In this 15-minute Spotlight Session, Carbonaires looks at how the market has developed and what the next five years need to reach scale, with a focus on what makes carbon removal projects bankable. The session draws on our five-year insight paper, From Proof of Concept to Proof of Market, which we’ll be sharing on the day.

Carbonaires is a member of the Think Negative Coalition and a sponsor of the pavilion.
