About us
Enabling carbon removal
Founded in 2020, Accend's mission is simple, help scale up the carbon removal industry. We realised that accurate and trustworthy carbon removal documentation was fundamental for the market to function. Our approach combines software with service to allow carbon removal projects to access carbon financing whilst focusing on what they do best, removing CO2 from the atmoshphere. Fast forward to today we have a global portfolio of accredited projects and are trusted by some of the world's leading buyers of engineered CDR credits.
A trusted adviser
Carbon removal projects looking to generate carbon credits come to us for Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and brokerage services to accelerate their growth and impact. We leverage software and services enabling effective access to credit revenue so that carbon projects can expand.
