While in Davos at the World Economic Forum, S3 Markets Co-Founder and CEO Saman Baghestani participated in a thought-provoking panel discussion titled "Decarbonizing Commodities through Carbon Markets" during Climate Scale-Up's Deal Day, moderated by Jason Jay of the MIT Sloan Sustainability Initiative. Alongside Jean-Baptiste De Cuyper of DEME Group, Thomas Annicq of oneshot.earth, and Filipe Blackwood Oliveira of TPG, we explored the complexities of addressing emissions from hard-to-abate sectors like cement, steel, and ammonia. These industries have always been difficult to regulate, but we explained that viable solutions already exist to decarbonize them. The main challenge, however, is cost — these solutions aren’t yet affordable enough to scale effectively. A particularly enlightening example came from a clean hydrogen company, showcasing Europe’s stringent mass balancing system, which traces molecules from production to end-use. While these regulatory frameworks are crucial for transparency and accountability, they also present challenges when scaling decarbonized solutions in these critical industries. This is where carbon markets and our unique book-and-claim system come in. By creating a more dynamic and scalable framework for tracking and trading environmental attributes as virtual insets, we can drive down the cost of zero-carbon solutions and unlock additional funding for producers. This approach allows us to support existing solutions to grow — with the right incentives and market structures. We believe that systems like ours are essential for enabling the transition to a sustainable future, driving innovation, and making decarbonization achievable for the industries that need it most.

Co-Founder and CEO @ S3 Markets | Scaling Low-Carbon Commodities via Book-and-Claim
While in Davos at the World Economic Forum, I had the privilege of participating in a thought-provoking panel discussion titled "Decarbonizing Commodities through Carbon Markets" during Climate Scale-Up's Deal Day —?moderated by Jason Jay. With Jean-Baptiste De Cuyper of DEME Group, Thomas Annicq of oneshot.earth, and Filipe Blackwood Oliveira of TPG, we explored the complexities of addressing emissions from hard-to-abate sectors like cement, steel, and ammonia. The carbon intensity of these industries have long been tough to affect due to their scale and inherent challenges, but we emphasized that there are already viable solutions in the market that could help decarbonize these sectors. The issue, however, is that these solutions tend to be more expensive as they are early in their learning and scale curves. A particularly enlightening example came from a clean hydrogen company, showcasing Europe’s stringent mass balancing system, which traces molecules from production to end-use. It’s clear that while these regulatory frameworks are essential for ensuring transparency and accountability, they also raise challenges when it comes to scaling decarbonized solutions in key industries. This is where carbon markets and a book-and-claim system can play a crucial role. By enabling a more dynamic and scalable framework for tracking and trading carbon credits, we can not only drive down the cost of zero-carbon solutions but also increase the funding directed toward producers in these critical sectors. It’s an approach that will allow us to unlock the potential of existing solutions that are ready to grow, but need the right incentives and market structures to do so. At S3 Markets, we believe that systems like ours are key to enabling more companies to participate in funding the transition to a more sustainable future, enabling innovation and ensuring that decarbonization efforts are focused on the industries that generate the bulk of global?emissions. Thank you to all the panelists and to Jason Jay from the MIT Sloan Sustainability Initiative for facilitating such an important conversation. #Decarbonization #CarbonMarkets #WEF25 #Davos2025

The World’s Top 15 Carbon Emitters (1850-2022) Carbon emissions across the globe have changed over the centuries. Yet, a constant has been the significant contribution of the largest economies to emissions since the 19th century. As emphasized above, major economies have historically been significant contributors to global carbon emissions. However, VUPICO SDP can aid companies in accurately tracking and managing emissions data, empowering them to identify areas of high emissions intensity and implement targeted sustainability initiatives.
