Carbon Buyers Breakfast: How CSOs Can Position Carbon Removal as Strategic Value?

How can Chief Sustainability Officers (CSOs) elevate carbon removal from a simple compliance checklist into a core driver of corporate strategic value? Filmed live at the National Gallery during London Climate Action Week, this panel brings together top experts from across the Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) ecosystem. Hosted by InPlanet and co-hosted alongside Carboneers and ClimeFi (with support from Isometric), the discussion explores the rapidly shifting "Beyond Carbon" paradigm. Discover how buyers can navigate evolving policy, manage long-term risk, and tap into the profound agricultural advantages of high-integrity carbon removal. Key Discussion Points The "Beyond Carbon" Shift: Why environmental and social co-benefits are transforming into "core benefits" that dictate long-term project viability. Agricultural CDR at Scale: Real-world insights on biochar performance in Ghana and India, enhanced rock weathering (ERW) in Brazil, and methane reduction in rice farming. The Evolving Policy Landscape: How voluntary buyers are preparing for compliance frameworks, including the EU ETS, Article 6, and Brazil's national ETS legislation. Dynamic Due Diligence: Moving from static assessments to continuous risk mitigation, separating temporary delivery delays from permanent project failures. Building Market Trust: What will distinguish the pioneering buyers who actively built the early CDR market from those who merely participated in it.
