Unlocking Gigatonne Potential: Brazil and the World’s First Certified Enhanced Rock Weathering Carbon Removal Credits

​Join InPlanet for a high-impact afternoon on the future of Enhanced Rock Weathering (ERW), a durable, science-backed carbon removal solution rooted in tropical agriculture and regenerative development.

​Brazil’s natural advantages, including abundant basalt, year-round rainfall, and progressive agricultural and climate policies, make it a prime launchpad for scalable carbon removal. In January 2025, InPlanet and Isometric issued the world’s first independently certified ERW carbon credits, verified through a rigorous MRV process. The credits were developed by InPlanet, verified by Isometric, delivered to Adyen, and facilitated by ClimeFi, a milestone for the voluntary carbon market and the introduction of a new class of high-quality, permanent carbon removal credits.

​This event highlights the critical role of the Global South in meeting global net-zero goals. We’ll explore how policy, science, and corporate climate strategies are aligning around Brazil as a frontier for high-integrity carbon removal, with strong MRV and co-benefits for farmers.

​Fireside Chat: Corporate Appetite for the Global South – What Drives Catalytic Decisions

💬 With ClimeFi, Climeworks, Accenture, InPlanet + 10 min Audience Q&A

​Corporates are increasingly prioritizing carbon removal projects in the Global South that offer both climate impact and socio-economic benefits. In this fireside chat, we’ll explore how catalytic capital is helping de-risk early-stage CDR, what buyers look for, and how emerging policy frameworks — like Brazil’s new ETS and evolving EU regulation — are shaping global market architecture. Learn why Brazil is capturing growing attention from climate finance leaders and what it takes to unlock corporate action.

​Fireside Chat: Measurement that Matters – Trustworthy MRV at Scale

💬 With InPlanet, Isometric, and scientific partners + 10 min Audience Q&A

​High-integrity carbon removal hinges on MRV systems that are scientifically rigorous, transparent, and reliable. In this fireside chat, we’ll explore how the issuance of Brazil’s first ERW credits, certified ex-post using real-world data under Isometric’s Enhanced Weathering Protocol — sets a new benchmark for quality in the market. The protocol’s standards require direct field sampling and lab-based verification, establishing a new baseline for trust in carbon markets.
