Carbon Copilot

The world needs carbon removals to keep global emissions within planetary boundaries.

It’s too late to just decarbonise. We now have to remove carbon at a gargantuan scale. With each global temperature rise of just one degree - we lose 12% of GDP. We’re on track to lose 26%+ of global GDP.

Carbon liabilities today, and how they are managed, have the potential to create the winners and losers of the future. CUR8's Carbon Copilot is here to help organisations navigate this integral part of that future: Carbon Removal.

The Challenge

Removing CO2 from the atmosphere and storing it durably is COMPLEX, no matter how you look at it. Sadly, so is buying and selling carbon removal today via the voluntary carbon market. Fortunately, regulations, standards, methodologies, and protocols are here to help us understand it… or are they?

For companies looking to either increase their competitiveness or manage their climate risk through carbon removal, it’s hard to know where to start, hard to find carbon removal projects, and hard to assess their value.

In 2022, CUR8 was formed to help organisations ease this challenge, building a science and procurement platform to make carbon removal easy to find, lower risk, and pain-free.

Why Carbon Copilot?

Over the last two and a half years, our team has spoken with 90%+ of the buyers of carbon removal (and many planning to soon join the club 🙂). The more buyers we spoke with, the clearer it became: a sleeping giant of a problem that is only going to get bigger, more expensive and  painful.

Managing your carbon credits.

Today, 95% of carbon removal credits purchased will begin extracting and storing carbon in the future. Passive monitoring is not an option. With 2,000+ global projects, 20+ methods of removing carbon, multiple registries, and complex delivery timelines, sustainability and finance teams face the harsh reality: buying removal is just the start line in a long-distance race. Post-purchase, the challenge begins of ensuring credits deliver on time, within budget, and with the impact needed to meet your goals.

What Carbon Copilot Can Do For You

CUR8’s Carbon Copilot gives sustainability and finance teams the confidence that comes from having the right data, simply displayed.

  • Manage delivery risk: Removing carbon from the atmosphere is extremely complex. Thousands of scientific and operational activities must go right. Yet 95% of high-durability carbon removal is purchased before these activities. Your money, your impact, your neutralization is at risk. Informed by CUR8’s proprietary due diligence and managed services, Carbon Copilot makes understanding, tracking, and managing delivery risk simple.
  • Avoid getting lost in reporting quicksand: Sustainability team responsibilities have grown exponentially, including reporting to dozens of different standards for carbon credits alone. A diversified credit portfolio is essential for managing risk, yet it results in hours of program management and reporting work. Every bit of content, data, and strategy is in a different place. Carbon Copilot is your single source of truth for all things carbon credits. No matter what you bought or when, track and report it from one place.
  • Drive commercial impact through removals: How do you tell your story (one you’re proud of) without running into pitfalls? Tell your story, your way. Carbon Copilot gives you crystal-clear clarity on your impact through easy project explainers, expert scientific content, and shareable project content from the field.
