What makes a carbon abatement project a sound investment?
Poyan:
1. Carbon markets are developing with new methodologies with improved quality assurance being launched
2. On a policy level, rules around international trade of carbon with clear safeguards around double counting are emerging
3. There is a convergence between carbon compliance markets and the voluntary carbon markets.
All three mechanisms drive towards a more robust carbon market linked to the financial market.
With that, capital can flow to the most efficient climate abatement projects.
Lastly, we are far away from goals set out in the Paris Agreement.
I believe we will realise that to reach these, we must rely more heavily on carbon abatement projects.
What impact has Qatalyst had so far?
Poyan: Since our launch, early user reports show Qatalyst helping institutional investors and project developers streamline their investment processes and reduce due diligence timelines.
By introducing structured workflows and AI-powered analytics, we have enhanced transparency and supported faster capital deployment into credible carbon abatement projects.
Harald: Qatalyst has already demonstrated its ability to reduce friction in carbon finance, accelerate due diligence and enhance investor confidence.
As the market matures, we aim to scale adoption, onboard more institutional players and contribute to the broader goal of making carbon finance a more transparent and impactful asset class.
