Carbon & Industrial Climate

Carbon removal asks buyers and investors to trust a tonne they cannot see. That trust rests on four connected stories, the technology, the project, the contract and the measurement. This subject separates them so each can be explained and tested on its own terms.

It covers how to explain carbon removal technology to investors and buyers, what long-term offtake does for project finance, why a carbon company and a carbon project need different investment cases, and how to present measurement, reporting and verification without overstating certainty. The pieces draw on public programmes and deals, including advance market commitments, public purchase programmes and the certification work now under way in Europe. The same thinking applies to industrial decarbonisation projects that face similar buyers and lenders.
