InPlanet white paper proposes revenue financing to scale carbon dioxide removals

InPlanet, Idemitsu, CFC, and Carbon Removal Partners have co-authored a white paper, 'Closing the Climate Financing Gap', proposing revenue financing as a solution to scale carbon dioxide removal (CDR) projects. The paper draws on a transaction where Idemitsu provided financing to InPlanet for enhanced rock weathering (ERW) CO2 removals, with CFC acting as insurer. This structure allows developers to access non-dilutive financing against contracted future payments, addressing the timing mismatch between upfront investment and later credit delivery. The authors suggest that effective revenue financing requires bankable offtake agreements, credible delivery capabilities, and appropriate risk-transfer mechanisms.
