Andre explains how book-and-claim systems and demand aggregation are enabling companies to access low-carbon fuels and materials, especially when direct procurement isn’t available. David adds insights on the strategic benefits and risk considerations of these systems. During this episode, you will learn: • Why book-and-claim models are critical for scaling green markets • How procurement signals drive new technology investment • Where additionality and registries fit in emerging climate solutions • What sectors are most impacted—and what’s next for 2026 Don’t miss an episode—subscribe to ESG Decoded on your favorite podcast platform and follow us on social for the latest updates!
