Thank you to everyone who joined our webinar on registry buffer pools, and to our fantastic panelists for all their insights - Nandini Wilcke at CarbonPoolElias Ayrey (PhD) from RenosterDr. Kirti Ramesh from BeZero Carbon, and Injy Johnstone from the University of Oxford, with moderation by Vaughan Lindsay. Some highlights from our speakers: 💡 From Nandini: "One of the fundamental premises that is not being taken into account right now that needs to be taken into account is it is not possible today to come up with a risk adjusted buffer pool contribution that is the right size to cover for 50 or 100 years from now. It's just not possible. The climate is not static. The world is not static. . . And so if you ask me, Are the buffer pools fit for the purpose that has been articulated, which is to guarantee permanence? The answer is no." 💡 From Elias: "There's an inherent flaw with the buffer pool as a concept. And the flaw right there is that buffer pools are not designed to prevent enrollment . . . there is no mechanism right now to prevent extremely high risk projects from being enrolled for carbon credits."  💡 From Kirti: "We do find that projects with credits in the buffer pool have credits that are unequal to each other and not all equal to one ton of carbon. So I think users of credits should know that when a reversal occurs where they're actually being compensated from, if it's actually from the buffer pool or an alternative project."
