Module 10: MRV and Market Shaping
Learn about how the new CDR market is being built, through more rigorous quantification of tons and through the emerging field of zoomed-out market shaping. Very important to consider as we wrap up Boot Up! There is no new material to review after this module. Your team will meet to discuss Module 10, and then once more to reflect on everything you’ve learned throughout Boot Up. Time really does fly when you’re having fun, doesn’t it?
