In this episode of Climate Positive, Guy Van Syckle connects with Tripp Wall, CEO of Pantheon Regeneration, to explore how his team is turning degraded peatland ecosystems into high-impact stores of carbon with a wealth of additional benefits for biodiversity and resiliency. We dive deep into an unsung hero of carbon sequestration—peatlands—which cover just 3% of the earth's surface but store twice as much carbon as all the world's forests combined. Tripp explains the hydrological engineering and cutting-edge tech helping to restore and monitor these ancient ecosystems. We discuss the evolving Voluntary Carbon Market, the supply-demand mismatch approaching, and how nature-based solutions offer a highly scalable alternative to engineered carbon capture. Additionally, Guy and Tripp explore how high-quality removal credits with biodiversity co-benefits are attracting major corporate offtakes, and the opportunities for traditional infrastructure investors to invest in natural capital to secure differentiated returns.
