Europe’s Investor Ecosystem: Warming Up to CDR?

• Investors in ‘conservative’ Europe have opened their wallets, particularly towards climate tech. How much of that is focused on removals, and is it the correct type of financing?
• The world is awash with early-stage climate funds. What are the later-stage funds looking for? How will CDR companies manage the gap in funding around the FOAK/NOAK?
• What is the CDR financing landscape like, and what financial instruments or models that have been successful in other sectors can be used or further developed in CDR?
• What makes the European market attractive for North American investors, in particular, and how big a portion do they represent in the investor landscape?
• EU support positively influences capital deployment, but what bottlenecks hinder the full potential of European startup removal?
