A new Carbon #UnboundShowcase for your feed. Here’s Paolo Piffaretti, Founder & CEO of Carbonx Climate, to guide us through the complexities of CDR #procurement. Carbonx connects companies with high-quality carbon removal projects, but how do they ensure quality and navigate the CDR market? Overcoming Challenges for Buyers: 🔹 Lack of policy enforcement makes CDR voluntary. 🔹 Transparency is needed to inform decision-making. Carbonx's Approach: 🔹 Curates portfolios with optimal resource allocation and strict project assessments. 🔹 Manages carbon credit risks for reliable, high-integrity credits. Advice for CDR Entrepreneurs: 🔹 Focus on Corporate Venture Capital (CVC) for long-term partnerships. 🔹 Prioritize transparency to build trust with potential buyers. Scaling CDR by 2030? 🔹 More financing beyond initial equity rounds is crucial. 🔹 Public-private partnerships and bankable offtake agreements are key.
