New Resource Live: The CDR.fyi Buyer’s Guide

Today, we’re expanding the CDR.fyi Resources section with a new addition: the CDR.fyi Buyer’s Guide.

As durable carbon removal markets mature, more organizations are moving from exploration to execution. Yet for many buyers, the pathway from first interest to final reporting remains complex, fragmented, and difficult to navigate.

The CDR.fyi Buyer’s Guide is designed to equip buyers with clear, neutral, and practical guidance to support informed decision-making across the full purchasing journey.

End-to-End Guidance for CDR Buyers

The guide covers the complete lifecycle of a durable CDR purchase, including:

• Why an organization might need to purchase durable CDR
• How much to buy and over what timeframe
• What criteria to apply when evaluating projects and suppliers
• How to structure procurement and manage contracting
• How to account for, communicate, and report CDR purchases

By addressing the process end to end — from strategic rationale to public disclosure — the Guide aims to reduce uncertainty, clarify trade-offs, and strengthen buyer confidence in a rapidly evolving market.

Grounded in Real-World Experience

Beyond theory, the Buyer’s Guide incorporates real use cases from companies actively engaging in the CDR market — including corporate buyers, marketplaces, and insurance actors.

These case studies surface practical lessons, decision frameworks, bottlenecks, and implementation insights that can help other organizations move faster and more effectively.

If your organization has purchased durable CDR, is in the process of evaluating or procuring credits, or is otherwise involved in enabling transactions (e.g., as a marketplace, intermediary, or insurer), we welcome your perspective.
