Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) is an important part in the process to reach net-zero goals. It involves capturing CO2 from the atmosphere and storing it securely in natural reservoirs or products.
Key methods include natural solutions like afforestation and soil sequestration, as well as technological approaches such as Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS).
To effectively integrate carbon removals into net-zero strategies, companies have to complement emission reductions, not replace them, as emphasized by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Carbon removals are designed to neutralise residual emissions on top of reduction efforts.
Carbon removals should complement emission reductions, not replace them.
Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi)
Setting net-zero targets should be backed by credible plans to address residual emissions; otherwise investors and stakeholders may question their validity. High-quality carbon removal solutions need to meet standards of durability, verification and minimal risk of reversal. The EU is currently developing regulations to enforce these criteria, and companies subject to the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) will be required to disclose their strategies for neutralising residual emissions from 2025.
Carbon removal certificates – a part of our transition advisory
With over 3,500 companies committed to net-zero targets with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), demand for carbon removals could reach 5.4 Gt CO2e by 2050. However, current availability remains limited, especially for technology-based solutions. Price risks also persist, particularly due to the scarcity of these solutions and the land constraints affecting nature-based options.
By purchasing Carbon Removal Certificates, companies can support the development of high-quality carbon removal projects while meeting their net-zero goals.
Insights into sustainability development
Transition reflections
The necessity of carbon removals
Olle Billinger is SEB’s carbon lead and works a senior advisor in the Climate and Sustainable Finance unit. In the bank’s pursuit to be a leading partner in the transition to a net-zero economy he spearheads the efforts to build a market for carbon removals together with FICC Commodities. He has experience from both asset management and the government offices of Sweden before joining SEB five years ago.
Carbon removal certificates
SEB offers carbon dioxide removal certificates
The UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has made it clear that it will not be possible to achieve the climate goals without removing CO2 from the atmosphere. SEB offers corporates and institutions to buy carbon dioxide removal (CDR) certificates from Inherit Carbon Solutions.
SEB invites companies to buy carbon removals from waste incineration
SEB has been mandated by the circular energy company Hafslund Celsio to sell carbon certificates for the capture and storage of carbon dioxide from the company’s waste-to-energy facility in Oslo.
