Direct Air Capture is moving from pilot projects to commercial reality—but how do we know if it works at scale?

Join Boundless and Heirloom Carbon for an in-depth look at what independent analysis reveals about the economics, energy requirements, and environmental performance of commercial carbon removal.

We’ll explore:
-The real cost to remove a ton of CO₂—and how it changes from demonstration to megatonne scale
-Energy demands and the pathway to improved efficiency (64,266 MJ → 7,603 MJ per ton)
-Why demo facilities can be net emitters while scaled operations achieve net removal
-Breaking down the path to $100/ton carbon removal
-What third-party LCA/TEA analysis reveals that marketing claims don’t

This webinar offers a rare look inside independent carbon removal assessment—providing the data-driven transparency needed as the industry scales toward gigatonne impact.

Who should attend: Advanced Technology Innovators, Climate tech investors, corporate sustainability leaders, carbon credit buyers, policymakers, and anyone seeking evidence-based insights on carbon removal.

Time: 2:00 ET

Africa faces a defining challenge – and opportunity – in financing its green transition.

According to Convergence, blended finance has already mobilized over $90 billion across the continent, mostly in energy and infrastructure. Yet major opportunities remain in agriculture, nature-based solutions, and climate resilience – especially those tapping into local capital markets.

This webinar explores the next frontier of blended finance innovation – showcasing practical strategies to de-risk investments and attract both international and local private capital.

The webinar will feature:

• A clear view of Africa’s blended finance landscape and emerging trends
• Insights into deal structures that mobilize private investment
• Practical de-risking strategies to make projects bankable
• Case studies of successful climate and green economy transactions

Time: 8:00 AM – 9:00 AM (GMT-05:00)
