The Opportunity
The voluntary carbon market (VCM) is at a pivotal juncture. In 2024, over 147 million carbon credits were retired, underscoring a robust commitment among organizations to offset their emissions. Yet, despite this demand, carbon dioxide removal (CDR) credits made up only 4% of the market, highlighting the urgent need for high-integrity removals in a $1 billion industry.
Compounding these dynamics, the shift in the U.S. administration introduces fresh uncertainties. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has ceased defending its climate disclosure rules, raising concerns over future corporate carbon reporting mandates. Meanwhile, policy changes around the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) could impact biofuel blending requirements, adding complexity to corporate sustainability strategies.
Why This Matters More Than Ever
In this evolving landscape, the Carbon Credit Buyers Workshop at Carbon Unbound East Coast 2025, in collaboration with AirMiners, provides an unparalleled opportunity for Heads of Sustainability, ESG Leads, Carbon Removal Managers, Market Analysts, and Investment Directors to sharpen their approach to CDR procurement. This closed-door, highly interactive session is designed to tackle the toughest challenges buyers face:
- Evaluating CDR Technologies – What distinguishes a high-integrity carbon removal credit?
- Navigating Market Dynamics – How can buyers ensure pricing transparency amid regulatory shifts?
- Risk Mitigation Strategies – Practical approaches such as credit non-delivery insurance, diversified portfolios, and contracting strategies.
- Internal Advocacy – How to effectively communicate the value of carbon removal credits to executive leadership and secure buy-in.
According to Thomas Goetz of Air Canada, the workshop has been invaluable for understanding procurement strategies and learning from fellow buyers:
“By discussing other buyers’ strategies, it opens up new horizons and helps us understand different points of view, which is crucial for better decision-making.”
What to Expect
Led by Adina Mangubat of AirMiners, this exercise-driven session is far from a lecture. Expect breakout discussions, hands-on portfolio development, and real-world case studies from companies in software, aviation, and mining already making CDR purchases.
For Brynn Esterly of Climate Vault, the workshop was a must-attend:
“Whether you’re just starting out or already have experience, this session helps identify hurdles, propose solutions, and uncover new ways to collaborate in fostering the next wave of CDR buyers.”
And Jodi Manning of Cool Effect highlighted its unique value:
“This was the first time we came together as buyers to openly discuss the complexities of the carbon market. I’m already looking forward to the next one!”
Who’s in the Room?
With 1 in 10 attendees at Carbon Unbound being active carbon credit buyers, this workshop is the ideal space to meet decision-makers shaping the market and making real purchasing commitments. Learn directly from guest speakers across industries who have successfully integrated carbon removals into their procurement strategies.
Past attendees consistently highlight one key takeaway: knowing what to look for in high-quality carbon removal credits is critical to making informed purchases.
