Coffee Break
Enjoy a refreshment break while continuing discussions and making new connections.
Soil Carbon at Scale: The Missing Pathway in CDR
- How is soil carbon positioned within the wider CDR market compared with pathways such as biochar and enhanced rock weathering?
- How are buyers evaluating soil carbon relative to engineered and other nature-based approaches?
- What advances in MRV, monitoring and data confidence are changing perceptions of credibility and permanence?
- Can soil carbon move from fragmented projects to a recognised and scalable market category?

AI, Data Centres & the Next Climate Challenge
- As AI accelerates data centre growth, how are climate and procurement strategies evolving? With Anthropic joining Frontier, are AI companies becoming a major new buyer segment?
- What are the barriers for carbon removal to become a key tool for addressing residual emissions, and can data centre operators absorb the cost?
- How will competition for clean power, grid capacity, and infrastructure affect CDR deployment?
- Which pathways: DAC, biochar, ERW, stand to benefit most from the AI boom?

Specialty Coffee Tasting - Hosted by Carbon Standards
Kick off Day 2 with a specialty coffee tasting hosted by Carbon Standards.
- Carbon Unbound Europe 2026 will be the first global event to serve coffee in certified biochar cups, each one a unique carbon sink delegates can hold in their hand!
The Biochar of Things: Turning Everyday Products into Trusted Climate Assets
- Your coffee cup. Your luggage. The concrete in your office building. The asphalt beneath your feet. As SBTi v2.0 mandates carbon removals in net-zero commitments, biochar-infused products offer a pathway to build demand for biochar offtake and improve CDR economics across supply chains.
- Panelists discuss how industries are pioneering innovative offtake models, what it takes to scale certified biochar across key industrial sectors, and why rigorous EBC certification builds the trust the market needs. New partnerships in construction, consumer goods, and plastics are opening up a new way to think about how biochar CDR business models can scale to gigaton-level removals.
Come early to enjoy a specialty coffee tasting served in EBC-certified biochar cups.

2026 Summit Themes
Explore the critical pillars shaping the future of carbon removal in Europe.
Honest Lessons from the Frontlines
Moving beyond polished success stories to share the failures, bottlenecks, and hard-earned lessons shaping the future of carbon removal.
The Buyer Intention Gap
Thousands of companies have net-zero commitments. A fraction have purchased a single tonne of carbon removal. This session gets inside the organisation - CFO objections, procurement barriers, board risk appetite, and standards confusion - to ask what it actually takes to move a corporate buyer from intention to purchase order.
Who Sets the Rules? The New Premium Standard for [EU] Certified Removals
From COP31 and the CRCF to SBTi, VCMI, ICVCM, CSRD, and the EU Buyers’ Club, the rules for carbon removal are rapidly evolving. Explore how companies can navigate emerging standards, manage risk, and build credible procurement strategies.
Trust Is the Product: Why MRV Will Make or Break the CDR Market
We move beyond methodology to ask the harder question: who bears the cost of verification, who sets the standard, and what does genuinely scalable MRV infrastructure look like for a market that needs to reach gigatonne scale?
Flight Path to Net Zero: Aviation's Carbon Horizon
With free EU emission allowances ending in 2026, airlines must now pay for all pollution. This financial shift has turned aviation into a primary driver of demand for permanent carbon removal.
Unlocking Commercial Markets in the Global South
As project development accelerates across Africa, Latin America, and Asia, how can buyers, investors, and developers create the long-term demand signals, offtake structures, and financing mechanisms needed to scale deployment and attract capital?

De-risking Carbon Removal Offtakes: Finance, Insurance, and Bankability in Practice
How are lenders, insurers, and investors reassessing offtake agreements in carbon removal, and what new risks, standards, and structures are needed to make long-term carbon removal contracts truly bankable?
