Gabrielle co-founded market-maker CUR8 to create the technical and commercial conditions for science-led, scalable carbon removals. It combines world-leading expertise in science, finance and software to derisk business investment in removals solutions. Alongside CUR8 Gabrielle runs the non-profit Rethinking Removals which works with key narrative and rule setters to drive the growth and development of both the voluntary and compliance carbon removal markets.
Rethinking Removals is a dynamic non-profit dedicated to accelerating the growth of effective and responsible carbon removals on a climate-relevant scale. It marries deep understanding of the needs of the removals market with active reshaping of the enabling landscape – with a particular focus on narrative and rule-setting.
CUR8 is the leading science, procurement, and management platform for carbon removal. It unites the world’s top scientists, financial experts and software to build high quality removal portfolios that help global companies including British Airways, Coca-Cola HBC, Arup and Standard Chartered Bank de-risk their net-zero strategy.
"The science is clear: to meet net zero we need BOTH much more rapid emissions reductions AND massive quantities of carbon removals. And we need them fast. The nascent removals industry needs to grow from millions of tonnes today to a billion tonnes in the next decade to keep 1.5 alive. It's a huge challenge - but it's also the most exciting opportunity I've ever seen."
