Field notes: Building investment-grade carbon removal in practice

​A private roundtable hosted by BeZero, Trafigura & GenZero

​The carbon removal sector faces the reality that by 2030, the world will need 0.8-2.9 gigatons of CDR per year - three to ten times today's projected capacity. However in the wake of broader geopolitical shifts, carbon removal has faced headwinds on the corporate sustainability agenda. So how are we tracking to close the gap?

​This invitation-only roundtable brings together a small group of senior carbon buyers for an honest, practitioner-led conversation. We anchor the discussion around the Brujula Verde project in Colombia, a nature-based carbon removal project developed in partnership between Trafigura and GenZero, rated by BeZero Carbon. The aim is to offer participants a multi-lens view of what investment-grade carbon removal, and more broadly partnerships for scale, look like in practice: from institutional capital deployment and on-the-ground operations, to standardised diligence.
