Why Carbon Removal Investment Expertise Is Critical for Financial Professionals
Carbon capture and removal technologies represent one of the fastest-growing climate finance opportunities, projected to reach a $458 billion market by 2034. As corporations increasingly seek high-quality carbon removal credits to meet net-zero commitments and regulatory bodies implement stronger verification standards, investment professionals need specialized technical knowledge to identify genuine opportunities and avoid greenwashing risks.
This specialist two-day course bridges the technical realities and financial dynamics of carbon capture technologies. Drawing on Decerna’s experience conducting technical due diligence for Direct Air Capture (DAC) and Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) projects, participants will gain the analytical frameworks necessary to evaluate carbon removal investments with confidence and insight.
