Svenja Telle, Director of Origination, Base Carbon

“We’re getting into really uncharted territory here… We have a big bubble in the market where we face high risk if we don’t have a way to measure performance and identify techno-economic risk factors… We need agility, we need registries to be more agile, and we need those methodologies for project developers to do the right thing, to walk the golden path. If you want to deliver high quality carbon credits on the technology-based side, that market infrastructure needs to exist.”

We continue our Carbon Frontiers series with Svenja Telle, Director of Origination at Base Carbon.

SmarterMarkets™ host David Greely sits down with Svenja to discuss the vital role of carbon removal in achieving our global emissions reduction targets. Together, they cover the strengths of technology-based carbon removals, the importance of community engagement and co-benefits in project design, and the need for transparent and scalable MRV solutions to ensure the quality of carbon credits.

As the market continues to evolve, it’s becoming increasingly clear that market maturation relies on improved MRV capabilities and project quality to build trust, quantify results, and guarantee the quality characteristics of carbon projects and their resulting credits.

Svenja and David map out the range of opportunities in climate finance and carbon investments, discussing how these investments not only facilitate our transition to netzero, but also mitigate climate and operational risk while improving organizational strength.
