From Pilot to Portfolio: Scaling CDR with Investor and Lender Confidence

Carbon removal project developers face a critical challenge: bridging the gap between promising pilots and bankable, scalable infrastructure. This session will unpack the financial strategy from early-stage equity to securing project finance to achieve commercial scale. We’ll explore how founders can build trust with investors and lenders through contractual agreements, risk-sharing mechanisms, and growth trajectories. The conversation will also highlight the importance of strong performance data and co-benefits such as biodiversity, community impact, and environmental stewardship. Whether raising your first round or scaling a portfolio, gain insights into aligning capital with climate impact.
