Supercritical successfully transacted 63,296 CO2 Removal Certificates through its platform last year. They acted as a direct counterparty for these deals.

This massive volume highlights a clear shift in how buyers approach carbon removal purchases. Companies want to see an operational track record before committing funds.

They are looking for security and reliability in their investments. Verified delivery is quickly becoming the ultimate priority for corporate climate action.

Managing Delivery Risk in Carbon Markets

Delivery risk is currently reshaping the entire carbon dioxide removal landscape. Early multi-year offtake agreements are finally reaching their execution phases.

Buyers are noticing significant variability in project construction timelines. Facility financing and operational ramp-ups are also proving unpredictable.

Scaling new climate infrastructure is a complex process. Because of this reality, many organizations are shifting their strategies away from early catalytic commitments.

They now heavily favor near-term delivery to meet strict interim climate targets. Emerging compliance markets are also driving this demand for immediate results.

Supercritical actively supports buyers by designing robust procurement strategies. These strategies are specifically tailored to manage and mitigate delivery risk.

"Delivery is what ultimately matters. Our market analysis shows that underdelivery is common when scaling new infrastructure. That makes it even more important to anchor procurement in proven projects," explained George Jones, Director of Supply at Supercritical.

Building Trust Through Verified Supply

The relentless focus on delivered credits builds massive confidence across the broader ecosystem. It proves that carbon removal technology is actively working today.

The Importance of Issued Credits

Supercritical acts as a trusted procurement navigator for major buyers. They cater to organizations that prioritize long-term market development.

Their operational strategy aligns perfectly with higher expectations for corporate transparency. Buyers need absolute certainty when making public climate claims.

Registry partners strongly recognize the immense value of this operational focus. It sets a reliable standard that strengthens the entire carbon market.

"Reliable issuance and transparent verification are foundational to a mature carbon removal market. We're pleased to see Supercritical driving significant volumes of delivered CORCs across multiple projects through our registry for a second consecutive year," said Benno Fuchs, CEO of Puro.earth.

Looking Ahead for CDR Buyers

The carbon removal sector will likely continue following this strong trend. Buyers demand concrete proof of their climate investments to satisfy stakeholders.

By prioritizing issued credits and operational supply, platforms are laying essential groundwork. This solid foundation is required for sustainable market growth.

It ensures that carbon removal efforts translate into real climate action right now. Companies can confidently invest knowing the carbon is actually being removed.
