As carbon removals move toward large-scale implementation, access to finance beyond venture capital becomes a critical enabler. This session explores proven and emerging solutions to key financing barriers and the roles and perspectives of market participants and regulators. It charts an actionable roadmap towards bankable carbon removal projects together with market infrastructure and policy mechanisms that unlock capital at scale.

This session offers practical insights into how companies and investors can engage in and structure scalable carbon removal investments – and how early participation may create strategic advantages in an emerging market.

Key themes of the event include:

• Finance-focused perspectives on bridging carbon markets and financial markets
• Insights on improving project investability and bankability
• Risk management and derisking mechanisms for investments (offtakes, blended finance, portfolio approaches, guarantees, insurance)
• Roles of key ecosystem actors in establishing carbon as an asset class
