ClimeFi Opens Carbon Removal Due Diligence Platform to Buyers, Aiming to Improve Market Transparency

• Platform provides qualified buyers free access to executive summaries of vetted carbon removal projects, improving procurement confidence.

• ClimeFi tracks 500+ suppliers and maintains active coverage on about 70 projects, creating one of the most structured datasets in the sector.

• Independent assessments and continuous monitoring aim to reduce risk in long-term carbon removal purchasing commitments.

ClimeFi has launched its Due Diligence Coverage platform, granting qualified buyers access to executive summaries from its database of carbon removal project assessments. The move is designed to improve transparency and decision-making in a market where corporate buyers are increasingly committing to multi-year carbon removal purchases.

The platform allows corporate sustainability leaders and procurement teams to evaluate projects more quickly and with greater certainty. By opening access to vetted project insights at no cost, ClimeFi is attempting to lower barriers to entry and level the playing field for companies navigating the complex carbon removal landscape.

Addressing Information Asymmetry in Carbon Removal Markets

Voluntary carbon markets and carbon dioxide removal (CDR) procurement remain constrained by uneven data quality, inconsistent verification standards, and fragmented project disclosures. These challenges increase risk for buyers entering long-term agreements tied to climate commitments and net-zero strategies.

“In a market that has long been hampered by information asymmetry, many long-term procurement decisions are still being made based on incomplete or fragmented data,” said Paolo Piffaretti, CEO and Co-Founder at ClimeFi. “ClimeFi’s new platform looks to address this gap by providing a transparent and easily accessible lens through which to seize the rapidly evolving landscape of carbon removal projects.”

By standardizing project assessments and making executive summaries widely accessible, the company aims to strengthen buyer confidence and improve capital allocation toward credible removal solutions.

Structured Ratings and Multi-Pillar Risk Assessment

ClimeFi evaluates projects against three core pillars: Carbon Integrity, Delivery Risk, and Beyond Carbon considerations. These factors reflect the evolving expectations of buyers and regulators, including durability, verification standards, project scalability, social and environmental co-benefits, and operational reliability.

Each assessed project receives an Analyst Rating intended to provide a structured and comparable view of performance and risk. The rating framework is designed to support multi-year procurement decisions, which are increasingly common as companies secure future removal capacity to meet long-term climate targets.

This structured approach aligns with growing scrutiny from investors and regulators seeking higher-quality climate disclosures and credible decarbonization pathways.

Dynamic Monitoring Reflects Real-World Project Performance

Unlike static project reviews, ClimeFi’s coverage is continuously updated. Monitoring includes commercial developments, verification progress, and supplier-level trends. Projects may be added or removed as performance and risk profiles evolve.

This dynamic model reflects the fast-changing nature of carbon removal technologies and supply chains, where delivery timelines, financing conditions, and verification milestones can materially affect project viability.

Expanding Dataset Signals Market Maturation

ClimeFi currently tracks more than 500 carbon removal suppliers across the global market. It has conducted due diligence on over 100 suppliers and maintains active coverage on approximately 70 projects at any given time.

This growing dataset offers buyers a structured overview of an increasingly crowded and technologically diverse market, spanning nature-based removals, biochar, direct air capture, mineralization, and hybrid approaches.

Implications for Corporate Climate Strategy and Capital Allocation

As corporate net-zero commitments move from pledges to procurement, access to reliable project intelligence is becoming critical. Companies face rising scrutiny from regulators, investors, and civil society over the integrity of carbon credits and removal claims.

By improving transparency and comparability, platforms such as ClimeFi’s may help standardize due diligence practices, reduce reputational and delivery risk, and support more disciplined capital deployment into carbon removal.

For executives and investors, the platform reflects a broader shift toward professionalization and governance in voluntary carbon markets. As demand for durable carbon removal accelerates, access to trusted data and ongoing risk monitoring will play a central role in scaling credible climate solutions worldwide.
