Raising the bar for high-quality carbon removal

We developed the Criteria for High-Quality Carbon Dioxide Removal to raise the bar for quality in the carbon market. By applying these principles in project design and activation, we help design the highest quality carbon removal credits for meaningful and equitable climate action.

Supplier partnerships

For best-in-class projects, Carbon Direct works across key stages of design and development to scale high-quality carbon dioxide removal in the voluntary carbon market. The number of suppliers that we partner with is limited and we vigorously vet each partner for scientific integrity. From co-design and implementation for early-stage projects to activation and go-to-market for later-stage projects, our scientific and market expertise help ensure that projects have their targeted climate impact.

Carbon Direct partners with select suppliers on early stage projects to create new, high-quality carbon removal credits. Our science and project finance experts work with suppliers to co-design and scale carbon projects that incorporate best-in-class science and equity considerations.

Carbon Direct partners with select suppliers on later stage projects to complete project development, execute project financing, and accelerate delivery of high-quality carbon removal credits to the voluntary carbon market. With our deep technical diligence and commercial expertise we help de-risk projects and connect those projects with buyers.
