Why It Matters

Accessing capital is the major hurdle for most carbon removal startups, regardless of technology or maturity level.
‍

  • Financing has slowed over the past few years: This guide provides a roadmap for navigating a challenging funding environment.  
  • Prepare for the long-term: According to CDR.FYI, there’s a big gap between buyers and suppliers on cost. Only 32 purchasers have paid over $500/mt, which means that suppliers must find ways to scale and drive down these costs over time.
  • Building trust is paramount: CDR suppliers who prioritize transparency will be better positioned to secure long-term agreements.
