CUR8 and Isometric Launch Derisked Carbon Removal Portfolio for Corporate Net Zero Goals

Carbon removal has a procurement problem. Demand from corporate buyers is growing fast, but finding verified, durable credits without a dedicated in-house team remains a real barrier. CUR8 and Isometric are tackling that head-on with the launch of their joint 2030 Portfolio, a pre-vetted, diversified carbon dioxide removal (CDR) portfolio built specifically for companies working toward compliance-aligned net zero targets.

The portfolio combines CUR8's AI-powered due diligence with Isometric's independent certification standard, giving corporate buyers two layers of scrutiny behind every credit. The initiative responds to a growing challenge in voluntary carbon markets: while corporate climate commitments are accelerating, access to verified, durable carbon removal remains constrained and technically complex to evaluate.

Six Projects, Five Technologies

The 2030 Portfolio gives buyers access to six projects active across different geographies, centered around five CDR technologies: biochar, bio-oil, biomass geological storage, subsurface biomass storage, and wastewater alkalinity enhancement. Carbon Herald

The project developers included in the portfolio are CREW Carbon, Vaulted Deep, Graphyte, Charm Industrial, and Carboneers. Each project has already demonstrated delivery. Vaulted Deep's facility in Hutchinson, Kansas has removed more than 40,000 tonnes of carbon since 2023, while Graphyte's Loblolly facility in Pine Bluff, Arkansas has permanently stored over 16,000 tonnes of CO2 through its proprietary Carbon Casting process.

Built for Buyers Without Dedicated Diligence Teams

Each project has undergone CUR8's in-house evaluation process, which integrates climate science with AI-driven risk modelling, assessing durability, permanence, and delivery risk. ESG News The result is what CUR8 describes as investment-grade due diligence, consolidated upfront so buyers don't need to build that capability themselves.

All credits generated through the portfolio will be independently certified by Isometric and recorded on its public registry. Every carbon removal credit issued from the portfolio projects will be independently certified by Isometric, backed by the largest science team of any carbon removal certifier on the market.

Marta Krupinska, Co-Founder and CEO of CUR8, said the goal was to lower the barrier to entry for corporate buyers. "By applying our investment-grade due diligence process with Isometric's certification standard to a diverse portfolio of different removal methods, we're making high-quality removals readily available without requiring every buyer to be an expert."

Lukas May, Chief Commercial Officer of Isometric, echoed the intent behind the partnership. "The supply of genuinely high-quality carbon removal is limited, and for most buyers, navigating procurement is a significant obstacle. This portfolio, in partnership with CUR8, gives buyers access to certified removal across a range of pathways without having to build that capability in-house."
