Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Architecture of Trust — Mark Kenber on VCMI, Scope 3 & the Future of Carbon Markets
Q: How do you see the balance between voluntary and regulatory use of carbon credits evolving, especially with Article 6 and Corsia on the horizon?
The lines between voluntary and compliance use are blurring. Credits will be used in hybrid models where regulatory schemes allow partial credit use, and voluntary actions remain important for signaling ambition and complementing internal decarbonisation efforts. This evolution is expected to drive market infrastructure, price discovery, and broader financing for climate projects.
The Architecture of Trust — Mark Kenber on VCMI, Scope 3 & the Future of Carbon Markets
Q: To what extent has the VCMI guidance been endorsed by governments and regulators, and what does that endorsement translate into for market participants?
Endorsement takes multiple forms—from corporate and NGO acceptance to government guidance and policy direction. It signals that the claims codes and Scope 3 guidance are credible, grounded in governance standards, and are considered legitimate by policymakers, which in turn reduces uncertainty for companies using credits.
The Hidden Gigaton: Why Super Pollutants Are Carbon Markets’ Blind Spot
Q: What exactly are insetting and why is it becoming a strategic channel for therm's business?
Insetting keeps emission reductions inside a buyer's own supply shed, aligning climate goals with supply-chain partners like farmers and downstream cold-storage/retailers. This approach helps manufacturers meet Scope 3 goals with higher confidence, while diversifying risk across voluntary, compliance, and insetting markets.
The Hidden Gigaton: Why Super Pollutants Are Carbon Markets’ Blind Spot
Q: Can you walk us through a typical grocery store or cold storage facility to understand what is leaking and why?
Grocery stores have a large refrigeration system with miles of piping; leaks come from compressors and long tubing, and despite good intentions, gases escape. The economics of replacement vs. upgrading to low-GWP refrigerants, plus the leverage of carbon credits for leak-detection investments, create a path to reduce leaks and drive adoption of better technologies.
From Momentum to Recent Realities - Inside Asia's Transition - Eu-Lin Fang
Q: Can you give us some context there around specific industries and how that framing around de-carbonization is playing out in the real world, especially with regard to resiliency and risks?
The guest explains that real estate and other sectors show that heat pumps and localized decarbonization strategies must align with physical risks and resilience planning; policies and standards like ISSB/SASB inform business resilience, and that finance will reward credible transition plans that reduce both transition and physical risks.
