Scaling Carbon Removal in the Voluntary Carbon Market (VCM): Deserving More Credit

• What has been the CDR demand and supply status in 2024 and are we seeing growth in 2025?
• Have the existing principles, standards and reporting frameworks been motivating corporations to include (more) removals in their target setting? How has this impacted offset programs such as CORSIA?
• Will state-led initiatives and international trading schemes remain resilient under the new administration?
• How does Article 6 of the Paris Agreement relate to CDR in the VCM? Which players does it impact the most?
• Suppliers are trying to maximize the economic upside of carbon credit sales between the VCM and compliance markets. How do they navigate this?
