Case Study: Trafigura shortens sales cycles and boosts carbon portfolio liquidity with BeZero Carbon ratings

Trafigura speeds sales cycles with BeZero Carbon for 30,000 ha Brújula Verde project

Trafigura, a global carbon trader and project investor, faced significant challenges in marketing its large and diverse portfolio of nature-based carbon removal projects. As buyers demanded more rigorous due diligence to assess project quality and risk, the process became time-consuming and inefficient, slowing down sales and capital deployment. To address this, Trafigura turned to vendor BeZero Carbon and its carbon ratings service.

BeZero Carbon provided independent, pre-issuance ratings for Trafigura's projects, such as the Brújula Verde project which received a high 'AA.pre' rating. This solution offered a standardized benchmark that validated project quality for potential buyers. The results included a shortened sales cycle, more targeted buyer engagement, and enhanced market liquidity. BeZero Carbon's ratings also provided third-party justification for pricing, accelerating the entire transaction process.
