Key Highlights from the webinar
Lars Kroijer, CEO and Co-Founder, opened the webinar with an overview of the carbon market’s challenges and potential. Despite credibility issues in the past, demand is expected to increase as quality improves and credits are continuing to be integrated into compliance schemes.
Antonia Drummond, Head of Product followed with an overview of various forecasting outputs and use cases under low, medium and high-growth scenarios. Antonia highlighted early opportunities in nature based removal, specifically in Asia and Latin America, with engineered removals expected to dominate from the 2040’s as prices rise.
Fundi Maphanga, Policy Lead, discussed the growing role of Article 6, corporate agreements and NDCs in shaping demand. Fundi outlined how policy shifts, such as Article 6.4 permanence requirements, could tilt the market more toward engineered removals in the coming years.
The webinar also explored how the model can forecast revenues, price sensitivity, and even job creation across project types and geographies.
Forecasting is not about claiming certainty. As Lars puts it ‘We’re not the oracle. The model is only as good as its inputs, and those inputs can and should change as the market evolves.’
