Bringing a durable carbon dioxide removal (CDR) project to the carbon market requires navigating a number of steps including securing financing, collecting data for certification, obtaining certification, and connecting with carbon credit buyers.

‍

Without expert guidance, CDR suppliers can spend years getting their projects off the ground and ready for credit sales. Carbonfuture simplifies and expedites this journey, guiding suppliers from selecting carbon market standards and tracking data for certification to signaling quality to buyers and accessing the market. Carbonfuture enables suppliers to produce certified, high-quality carbon credits and connect with buyers — fast.

‍

If you’re a CDR supplier who wants to understand how to quickly develop your project and have success with buyers, here’s a roadmap for how to access the voluntary carbon market with confidence:

‍

‍

Build certainty around your delivery date

‍

Before you access a market, you need to have something to go to market with. When developing your project, you should always keep in mind the requirements of a respected standard. This is essential for any CDR project. Without it, participation in the market isn’t possible. Buyers rely on independent standards like Puro.earth and Carbon Standards International (CSI) to verify project quality and secure their investment.

‍

Carbonfuture supports projects from the ground up, guiding them through every step needed for certification. We assess project viability to ensure it aligns with leading CDR standards, helping make your path to certification smoother and more efficient. By guiding you through the certification process, we can boost the market credibility of your project and help you access capital through a variety of mechanisms.

“Equity was our biggest challenge, and building an advance purchase agreement with Carbonfuture was vital for allowing us to access the funding we needed to complete the North Fork Community Power Plant.” – Loni Austin, VP of Product, Phoenix Energy

Connect with a broad buyer network

‍

Connecting with buyers in the CDR market can be competitive, especially as many well-known buyers already have multiple suppliers vying for attention. To reach the right buyers, it’s essential to showcase your project to a more expansive network of buyers and identify new potential partners who align with your project’s unique narrative, such as regional or community benefits.

‍

With Carbonfuture’s extensive buyer network and market expertise, we can help expand your reach, connecting you to a broad range of new buyers. By building relationships with forward-thinking companies across industries, we ensure a steady demand for your high-quality carbon removal credits.

‍

Stand out in a highly scrutinized market

‍

Trust and transparency are essential in the voluntary carbon market. Buyers prioritize high-quality projects that minimize reputational and financial risks. Rigorous digital Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) provides essential transparency on credit quality, helping your project stand out in a competitive market.

‍

Carbonfuture MRV+ offers rigorous end-to-end tracking from carbon capture to credit issuance, collecting and providing data for independent third-party verification and certification. Using the Carbonfuture API, this digital process reduces suppliers' workload, minimizes errors, and accelerates credit issuance - enabling faster market access for suppliers and providing buyers with high-quality credits.

‍

“[Streamlined data reporting] is one of the most important aspects of the Carbonfuture MRV+ system. We’re able to quickly provide any information if and when it’s required, without having to think about whether we’ve been tracking the right data.” - Thomas Harcourt, Circular Economy Developer, Soler Group
