How does Charm Industrial make money?
Charm earns revenue by selling carbon removal credits and long-term offtake agreements to corporate buyers.
No public list pricing; commercial pricing is quoted by deployment, customer scale, geography, and service scope. Public prices vary by offtake and delivery vintage; buyers pay for tonnes of permanent carbon removal backed by delivery and MRV.
Growth depends on enterprise CDR demand, biomass sourcing, pyrolyzer fleet scale, injection capacity, MRV trust, and cost declines. For sellers, the most relevant budget owners are carbon removal procurement, sustainability, finance, climate strategy, legal, operations, and project delivery teams; procurement maturity should be treated as startup or growth-stage, with technical founders and operators close to vendor decisions.
