Global Tech CDR: Reality Check
The Tech CDR market is moving from future promise to real procurement decisions. For buyers, the challenge is no longer only understanding the technology. It is also knowing why to act now, how policy and market signals are evolving, and how to tell which supply is genuinely credible.
Join us during Climate Week NYC for a practical discussion designed for both new and experienced buyers — hosted by NextGen CDR, remove, and the Carbon Business Council.
The session will combine buyer perspectives on how to build the internal case for action with supplier perspectives on what real project delivery looks like beyond the pitch deck.
