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 delivery
  Why offtakes alone are insufficient, and what is required to make them bankable

• ​Financing as a delivery guarantee
  How debt, equity, and structured finance unlock project execution

• ​De-risking mechanisms
  The emerging role of insurance, portfolio strategies, and financial engineering

• ​What this means for buyers
  How financing directly impacts delivery certainty, portfolio performance, and risk management

​Format

​An intimate, working session designed for high-signal exchange:

• ​🥙 Curated lunch & introductions

• ​🎤 Expert-led discussion (buyer intermediary / supplier finance)

• ​🔄 Interactive roundtable (closed-door, no press)

• ​🤝 High-quality peer networking

​Who Should Attend

​We are intentionally curating a balanced room of:

• ​Corporate buyers (especially those entering or scaling CDR portfolios)

• ​Investors & capital providers (VC, private equity, structured finance)

• ​Insurance & risk specialists

• ​Leading CDR suppliers across technologies

​Why This Matters

​Carbon removal will not scale on demand alone. It will scale when capital can be deployed with confidence.

​This session is designed to answer a single question: How do we make carbon removal delivery reliable enough to unlock the next wave of capital and buyers?
