Built with the industry, for the industry
Scaling CDR in Europe
Two days of main stage and interactive sessions. This program is designed to inform through main stage sessions, stimulate debate with interactive discussions and connect through organised networking segments.
Featured sponsors
Breakout Sessions
Choose one concurrent track to dive deeper into specialized topics, industry insights, and interactive discussions. Spaces are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
1. Delivered, Not Promised: Why Track Record Is Becoming the New Currency (CLOSED-DOOR SESSION)
- Are buyers prioritising delivered tonnes over future potential?
- How is non-delivery reshaping procurement and due diligence processes?
- What separates projects that earn repeat purchases from those that do not?
- Has the market entered a new era of accountability and execution?
2. Beyond Trees: The Next Generation of Nature-Based Carbon Removal
- Which nature-based removal pathways are attracting serious buyer and investor interest?
- Can blue carbon achieve the same credibility standards as engineered removals?
- How are MRV and permanence evolving across emerging nature-based pathways?
- What role can oceans, coastlines and working landscapes play in Europe's removal portfolio?
3. Heavy Industry's Carbon Removal Moment
- Why are industrial sectors becoming serious carbon removal buyers?
- How do energy, cement, shipping and waste companies evaluate removals?
- What role will removals play alongside decarbonisation investments?
- What demand signals could unlock large-scale procurement?
Coffee Break
Enjoy a refreshment break while continuing discussions and making new connections.
Flight Path to Net Zero: Aviation's Carbon Horizon
- With free EU ETS allowances ending, how are airlines reassessing the role of carbon removal in their decarbonisation strategies?
- How will aviation balance investment across SAF, operational efficiency, carbon capture, and permanent carbon removal?
- What procurement strategies are emerging as airlines begin securing long-term access to high-quality removals?
- Will aviation become the sector that unlocks large-scale demand for permanent carbon removal in Europe?
If Carbon Removal Becomes Cheaper Than Decarbonisation, Should We Still Prioritise Emissions Reductions?
If high-quality carbon removal costs fall below the cost of abatement, companies should be free to prioritise removals over emissions reductions.
Offtake First: How Long-Term Demand Unlocks Capital
- Why have credible offtake agreements become essential for unlocking debt financing in carbon removal?
- What does “long-term” or “large enough” actually mean for project financiers, lenders, and institutional capital providers?
- What lessons are emerging from the first financed CDR projects, and where do investors and lenders still see risk?
- How are banks, insurers, and developers redesigning contracts to improve bankability?
- What is needed for CDR financing to move from bespoke deals to a scalable asset class over the next five years?
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?
