This Is CDR Ep97: BeZero Carbon Ratings

​OpenAir is excited to present This Is CDR, an online event series that explores the wide range of carbon dioxide removal (CDR) solutions currently being researched, developed, and deployed, and discusses them in the context of policies OpenAir seeks to formulate and advance at every level of government in the U.S., as well as in national and subnational jurisdictions globally.

​This week we are pleased to welcome Teresa Hartmann and Ted Christie-Miller from BeZero Carbon to present and discuss the company's work as a carbon ratings agency, and how independent, risk-based, project-level ratings can help build the market trust necessary to scale high-quality CDR.
