Verdane is a growth equity investment firm with over €5.7 billion in total commitments, which specialises in scaling tech-enabled and sustainable businesses. Verdane seeks to scale Njord Carbon by welcoming new partners and early adopters to the initiative.

Founded in 1938, Södra is Sweden’s largest forest-owner association, with 51,000 forest owners as its members. In 2021, Södra’s positive climate effect was equal to offsetting 25% of Sweden’s reported emissions. Carbon capture strengthens Sodra’s long-term, impact-focused work by creating new value from a by-product of their mills.

Even if the world succeeds in dramatically cutting its collective CO2 emissions, there is an urgent need to remove billions of tonnes of CO2 from the atmosphere.

Njord Carbon’s purpose is to help enable the transition towards a sustainable world, by making high-quality carbon removals available at scale and at an affordable price point. Through its constituent partner organisations, Njord Carbon will offer certified, waste-based, permanent carbon dioxide removal credits.

By separating out and permanently storing CO2 originally captured by growing trees, Njord Carbon stands at the forefront of negative emissions technology – and goes beyond others that simply reduce emissions from existing industrial processes.
