In this podcast, I'm excited to talk to Rene about all things decarbonization and Carbon Markets.
Rene began his career in environmental markets back in 2008, starting in advisory and intermediary roles. He has advised clients throughout on the development and implementation of net zero strategies at Climate Friendly and First Climate, before joining CBL in 2015 where, as Head of Global Carbon, he has overseen the exchange’s growth and helped establish CBL as the premier marketplace in the voluntary carbon market.
Since 2015, he has played an active role in helping to build capacity within the aviation sector, as the industry prepared to launch the first sectoral-based emissions trading system for international aviation—the Carbon Offset Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA) Rene also led the transformation of the commoditization of the VCM having developed the specifications of the GEO, N-GEO, and C-GEO benchmark contracts which are traded via CBL’s spot market as well as CME Futures.
He has worked across 4 continents, and speaks 3 languages fluently!
