Beyond the Start-Up Phase: Growth Investments vs. Project Financing

  • Different funding is needed for different stages, and the relative shortage of growth-stage financing indicates the nascency of the CDR market. Where are the financing gaps specifically, and what funding is needed for the different stages?
  • How do we entice asset managers to deliver the CDR funding needed at later stages without having delivered much?
  • When reaching the scale-up phase, billions of dollars are needed from large-scale investors, matching their expectations, and CDR companies’ risk profiles usually don’t match. How can we bridge the chasm?
  • What have been success stories from other industries, and are there lessons learnt that can be helpful to CDR investors?
