New Buyers Needed: How to Catch the Next Wave of Demand

• Over the past year, the volume of purchases has increased, but the number of companies purchasing has yet to. What is prohibiting new buyers from entering the market?
• Many companies are still prioritising their own emission reductions over-investing in carbon removal. What levers are likely to convince corporates to include CDR in their strategies and act now?
• What elements of project design and implementation interest buyers most when putting together their CDR portfolios? What are the risks to look out for?
• Governments play a crucial and formative role in helping to fund, build, and scale the CDR industry. Both the US and Canadian governments actively buy credits. What can they do better to incentivize private companies to follow suit? And how can the federal government play a role in increasing the supply of high-quality removals while bringing down the cost of private-sector purchasing?
