Carbon Forward Asia, held from March 4 to 5 in Singapore, featured a panel on the second day titled “Removals: Putting the Net into Net-Zero,” which explored the opportunities and challenges for advancing carbon removal in Asia.
“Carbon prices are too low to create real demand for carbon removal,” said Leo Park, vice president of direct air capture startup Capture6, during a discussion with senior research analyst Stephanie Chiang of Wood Mackenzie and Chief Commercial Officer Ikarus Janzen of Varaha.
