APAC CDR Summit 2024 Landing page

We are excited to announce the inaugural Puro.earth APAC CDR Summit, which will be taking place in Singapore on April 17th.

With the engineered carbon removal sector gaining momentum, we are dedicated to accelerating interaction among regional CO2 Removal Certificate (CORC) project developers, buyers, advisors, financiers, and traders by hosting this Summit. This event marks an expansion of our impactful series of gatherings in the Americas and EMEA, building on the success of last year's New York CDR Summit.

Our goal is straightforward: to bring together industry pioneers and experts for discussions, inspiration, and collaboration in climate action to establish a future carbon removal services sector that can neutralise gigatons of emissions per year across biochar, terrestrial storage of biomass, enhanced rock weathering (ERW), geologically stored carbon (DACS, BECCS, BiCRS), carbonated materials, and emerging methods in tech-based and hybrid removals.

"I really loved the Puro.earth summit. It brought together a wide range of investors, innovators, and carbon credit purchasers. This is a great forum for connecting and collaborating with each other." Caitlin Wale, Kinjani

"The 1-day-event was great as it enabled networking with those keen on pre-purchasing carbon removal credits and funding our emerging technology. They're very excited about our technology and hopefully can become stakeholders." Bryan Eagle, Glanris

"This is an excellent summit, providing a valuable opportunity to bring many people together. It has allowed me to gain a holistic sense of what is changing and how people are generally thinking about CDR." Ph.D., Steffi Muhanji, Microsoft
