This session brings together leading voices from the carbon markets to unpack how long-term carbon removal offtake agreements are reshaping corporate climate strategies. As more enterprises move away from ad-hoc, short-term credit purchases, multi-year commitments are becoming central to securing high-quality supply, managing price exposure, and planning decarbonization with greater certainty.

The discussion will examine how suppliers, carbon crediting standards, and policy actors are adapting to these demands. Speakers will address the practical and regulatory considerations needed to structure portfolios that can withstand long delivery horizons, evolving methodologies, and market risks.
