At FincoEnergies, we believe ocean-based carbon removal holds immense promise, but scaling it requires collaboration and innovation 🌊 This week, our Carbon Portfolio and Sustainability Manager, Boudewijn Pars, joined industry leaders at the World Ocean Council’s Sustainable Ocean Summit to discuss scaling ocean CO2 removal. The panel explored the current development of marine carbon removal, ways for ocean-focused companies to support emerging suppliers, and the role of business associations in building frameworks and confidence in blue carbon solutions. Boudewijn shared three pivotal takeaways from the panel: 🎯 Realising the potential of ocean-based carbon removal starts with understanding the market and its impact on biodiversity and coastal communities. It also requires addressing the significant challenge of reaching net-zero in maritime operations. 🎯 The need for data and cross-industry collaboration is urgent—our oceans remain largely uncharted, yet they are critical to our climate ambitions. 🎯 On a positive note, the market for ocean-based carbon removal is gaining traction. Initial projects are already in motion, and evolving global standards are setting a strong foundation, making this an exciting time to support ocean carbon solutions. The momentum is building, and we’re excited to be part of the journey towards a #BetterWorld with scalable, ocean-based carbon removal solutions 🌍 #FincoEnergies #SustainableOceanSummit
Thank you Boudewijn Pars for joining us in Barcelona last week and your great contribution to our panel discussion. We look forward to working together as part of the ecosystem to responsibly advance the #marine #CDR sector.
Thanks so much Boudewijn Pars for representing and conveying our quality offerings and industry insights!
