Watershed Marketplace is a platform that offers a comprehensive selection of high-quality climate projects from around the world to help companies accelerate decarbonization. It provides access to scientifically vetted, high-quality carbon removal suppliers that are actively removing carbon from the atmosphere. The Watershed marketplace includes over 30 different nature-based and permanent carbon removal projects, from direct air capture and bio-oil sequestration to reforestation and biochar. It also offers sustainable aviation fuel certificates (SAFc), clean power projects, and virtual power purchase agreements.
Watershed Marketplace
Climate projects with proven impact
Reduce emissions by supporting carbon removal, clean power, and sustainable aviation fuel projects.
Build your portfolio
Real results, high impact
Watershed vets every decarbonisation project for quality, environmental impact, and climate risk. Only the top project suppliers are approved to join our Marketplace.
Cutting-edge technology
The most advanced carbon removal projects historically required eight-figure investments most companies couldn’t afford or access on their own. With Watershed, you get the combined buying power of hundreds of companies—so you can access the leading edge of decarbonisation.
Integrated with your business
Build a diverse portfolio aligned with your business priorities, commitments and reduction plans, then manage projects together with your key stakeholders. Centralise purchase records, scale supplier engagement, and see the impact on your overall carbon footprint, all on one platform.
Our methodology
Watershed experts vet projects against six key considerations:
01
Additionality
Is carbon removed from the atmosphere that would not have been removed without this purchase?
02
Verification
Can we be sure the project is removing as much carbon as it claims?
03
Permanence
How long will the removed carbon stay out of the atmosphere?
04
Leakage
What is the risk of displacing activities that shift emissions from the project to another site?
05
Catalytic nature
How meaningful is the purchase in advancing research and development?
06
Co-benefits
Other than the carbon removed, what is the impact of the project?
“While reductions make up the majority of our actions towards Net Zero, we’re also focused on building relationships with best-in-class removal projects to neutralize the remainder of Block's emissions. We leverage Watershed to help with due diligence and curate the very best projects across a wide spectrum of leading CDR categories.”
