About this episode
The episode features an interview with Paolo Piffaretti discussing ClimeFi's role in supporting corporate buyers of durable carbon dioxide removal credits.
@geoengineering1 interviews Paolo Piffaretti, co-founder of ClimeFi (https://www.climefi.com/), on how durable carbon dioxide removal (CDR) credits are verified and delivered for corporate buyers. ClimeFi acts as a buyer-side agent, helping organizations define contribution vs. compensation goals, run reverse-auction RFPs, build diversified portfolios, conduct due diligence, negotiate contracts with risk-mitigation clauses, and monitor suppliers through delivery. They also unpack how CDR deals work in practice, covering offtakes, pre-purchases, and newer call options for flexibility, along with what is changing in the market and how buyers manage risk in a space where many projects fail. ClimeFi has also recently opened its Beyond 2030 request for proposals (RFP) on behalf of multiple buyers. It is the company’s most ambitious procurement to date, targeting 100,000 to 500,000 tonnes of durable carbon removal. All pathways are eligible, provided permanence of 200+ years. Submissions close on Wednesday 8 April.
