Puro.earth has introduced a new Audit Booking Calendar to streamline the certification process for carbon dioxide removal (CDR) suppliers. The tool centralizes audit scheduling and tracking within the MyPuro portal, reducing the time between carbon removal production and the issuance of CO2 Removal Certificates (CORCs). This infrastructure update aims to improve cash flow for suppliers and provide buyers and investors with better visibility into upcoming credit availability. By making the audit pipeline more predictable, Puro.earth intends to help scale CDR as a reliable, investment-grade asset class.

Puro is basically just building a better scheduling app to fix the bottleneck between removing carbon and actually getting paid. It is a small operational fix, but if audits are the main hold up for CORCs, this helps.

The real question is whether this actually speeds up the auditors themselves. A calendar makes the booking easier, but it does not magically create more qualified third party verifiers to do the actual work.

Exactly. We see this in interconnection queues all the time. You can have a fancy portal to track your spot in line, but if the technical capacity to perform the audit is missing, the line just stays long. Do we know if Puro is onboarding more audit firms?

Interesting that they are positioning this as a way to make CDR an investment grade asset. Predictability in issuance is a huge requirement for anyone putting real capital into these projects.
