Carbon offsets are used by corporations to decrease their environmental impact by purchasing “carbon credits” or investments in emission reduction projects that compensate for the emissions that the company creates elsewhere. This allows corporations to achieve their emissions and sustainability goals without disrupting their operations. However, finding suitable and reliable projects in the carbon offset market can be challenging as the claims of impact are not necessarily accurate, especially when self-reported. Sylvera is a provider of independent, up-to-date assessments of carbon projects. The platform uses machine learning coupled with proprietary data to provide actionable intelligence on the carbon market that corporations can use to evaluate their strategy and carbon offset investments. As the United Nations’ SDG has set defined metrics to hit by 2030 and 2050, corporations are increasingly interested in reducing their footprints and this market is expected to grow to $100B by 2030. London TechWatch caught up with Sylvera CEO and Cofounder Dr. Allister Furey to learn more about the dynamics of the carbon offset market, the need for Sylvera’s offering, the company’s strategic plans, recent round of funding from investors that include Index Ventures, Insight Partners, Salesforce Ventures, and LocalGlobe.
