We’re at a global climate tipping point. Along with policymakers, public-private partnerships, and political will, technology is central to solving our planet's biggest existential threat. One solution that’s gaining momentum: buying and selling carbon credits. The market value for carbon credits is huge – it could be worth more than $50 billion by the end of the decade. But accessing these markets can be complex, and navigating them can demand significant investments of time and resources for businesses. But what if helping remove carbon from the atmosphere was as easy as a click of a button? Brennan Spellacy is the Co-Founder and CEO of Patch, a platform that enables access to 115+ verified carbon removal projects worldwide – like carbon mineralization in concrete, reforestation, and direct air capture – helping companies to achieve their corporate net-zero goals and embed climate action into digital products and services. Brennan joins the podcast to discuss the mechanics of carbon credit buying and how software makes this process easier; lay out the business case for participating in carbon markets; and highlight opportunities for climate tech growth and investment in the years ahead.
