There are projects that are stopping the flow of emissions into the tub and projects removing emissions from it. Both reductions and removals are critical. But if we conflate the two we risk never getting removals to meaningful scale, since reductions alone cannot “empty the bathtub.” 2/2

9/ I'm thrilled to welcome Evident Global to the carbon removal space and can’t wait to see the impact we’ll create together!
December 4, 2024 at 9:13 PM
8/ There’s no better partner for Absolute Climate to bring this certification model to life with. Evident brings the credibility, expertise, and stability that carbon removal urgently needs to build trust and scale responsibly.

7/ Policy expertise: Deep experience working with governments to develop and enable compliance markets.
December 4, 2024 at 9:13 PM
6/Business model stability: Diversified revenue streams across multiple sustainability certification areas (RECs, SAF, etc..) ensures resilience + long-term reliability.
December 4, 2024 at 9:13 PM
5/ Proven track record: 20+ years in sustainability certification, spanning voluntary + compliance markets in 60+ countries.
December 4, 2024 at 9:13 PM
4/ Evident is different for 3 big reasons:

- Proven track record
- Business model stability
- Policy expertise

3/ If you’re a project developer investing in a facility with a 20+ year lifespan, these are very real concerns. Will your registry still be around in two decades? Can it help you transition from voluntary to compliance markets as regulations evolve?
December 4, 2024 at 9:13 PM
2/ For project developers, registry risks are real.

Most registries for carbon removal are:
• Relatively new
• Reliant on carbon removal revenue
• Inexperienced with compliance markets
