Financing Carbon Removal From Contracts to Delivery: The Next Trillion-Dollar Market

A Private Lunch by InPlanet × CUR8

Carbon removal is no longer constrained by demand, it is constrained by liquidity and delivery certainty. Today, over 90% of carbon removal is sold forward, yet contracts alone do not guarantee delivery. If projects cannot access financing, credits do not materialize, regardless of demand.

This creates a critical gap in the market: How do we ensure that signed contracts actually turn into delivered tonnes?

As highlighted in recent discussions, financing is not just a scaling lever, it is a core mechanism to de-risk delivery across portfolios, alongside tools like insurance, equity capital, and structured finance.

Session Focus

This closed-door lunch brings together a curated group of buyers, investors, and suppliers to explore how carbon removal transitions into a bankable, investable asset class.

The discussion will focus on:

From contracts to deliveryWhy offtakes alone are insufficient, and what is required to make them bankableFinancing as a delivery guaranteeHow debt, equity, and structured finance unlock project executionDe-risking mechanismsThe emerging role of insurance, portfolio strategies, and financial engineeringWhat this means for buyersHow financing directly impacts delivery certainty, portfolio performance, and risk management
