Why do CDR projects backed by forward commitments sometimes still fail to deliver credits? And what can savvy buyers and suppliers do to mitigate risk and ensure performance?

What's inside:

• CDR 2.0: Five pillars—technical readiness, project assurance, standardization, bankable contracting, and transactional ease—that move buyers from the purchase of promises to the procurement of performance

• An action agenda: How to fund project assurance, structure risk-matched capital tranches, and secure the take-or-pay agreements that underwrite project finance
