Boosting industry initiatives
In addition to ETS, FuelEU and CBAM, the EU recommends a 90% net greenhouse gas emissions reduction by 2040 compared to 1990 levels, and embrace CCUS - read more
Global and regional policies serve as important bootstraps and sticks, where C3 is the missing carrot to boost demand and liquidity.
Expert analyses stress the need for better funding mechanisms to de-risk green investments and enable cross-value chain collaboration, in order to meet the Paris Targets - read more
A simple financial instrument such as C3 is industry agnostic, borderless, policy independent, and leverages capital markets.
While there are multiple international initiatives that promote renewables and energy efficiency, there is a need for high-level political and collective action in order to accelerate efficiency improvements and the scaling of renewables - read more
Incentives and financial opportunities for investing in energy and system efficiencies are much needed to meet global net zero milestones in the medium term, C3 helps bridge this gap.
The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) has announced plans to allow companies to use carbon offsets as a way to meet their Scope 3 emissions targets - read more
C3 is in accordance with SBTi's statement for abating and decoupling scope 3 emissions through tradable inset credits.
Material and energy efficiency are important contributions, but will only reduce industrial emissions by 25%. Technologies which are not yet available on the market at the scale needed – hydrogen, direct electrification, and carbon capture utilisation and storage (CCUS) – take the rest of the way to net zero - read more
Creating profitable business models to decarbonize hard-to-abate sectors is a complex challenge, requiring multilateral cooperation and novel approaches. C3 provides the necessary tools and market integrations to accelerate emissions abatement.
International organizations are establishing policy targets and systems such as FuelEU, Green Balance Mechanism, Book & Claim and Zero Emission Shipping Fund. Aiming to create green shipping markets, decouple GHG emissions from activity, aggregating willingness to pay, and incentivize green shipping.
C3 has a symbiotic relationship with these systems and policies, helping accelerate and reinforce their successes.
A wide variety of programs are being put in place, through policy and private initiative like Climate Group and First Movers Coalition. These initiatives constitute an important demand signal to secure investments for low-carbon iron, steel and concrete.
C3 helps solidify these initiatives, and unlock financial capital from value chains to accelerate and capitalize on green products.
Many private and NGO actors in the chemical industry are taking action towards decarbonization, through the First Movers Coalition, Clean Energy Ministerial, ECHA, ISCC, and Mass Balance Approach.
Despite the many initiatives and collaborations, the leap is still massive for global offtake and financing. C3 is a catalyst to help attain all these ambitious goals.
Reducing supply chain emissions is of great value to many, yet a simple market-based system is missing. C3 enables stakeholders to easily co-invest, de-risk and collaborate globally and profitably, even in the absence of policy and regulation.
