JPMorgan Chase has expanded its partnership with Charm Industrial, committing to purchase 61,500 tonnes of carbon dioxide removal and providing a $20 million debt facility, signalling a shift towards scalable, investable carbon removal infrastructure.
JPMorgan Chase has expanded its relationship with Charm Industrial, agreeing to buy 61,500 tonnes of carbon dioxide removal from the start-up’s bio-oil projects and providing a $20 million debt facility to help scale its Colorado operations, according to ESG Dive and ESG Today. The latest deal takes the bank’s total commitment with Charm to 90,000 tonnes.
The agreement extends a partnership that is becoming increasingly familiar across the voluntary carbon removal market: large financial institutions are pairing offtake commitments with project finance to help early-stage suppliers build capacity. In Charm’s case, the model centres on turning biomass into bio-oil and storing it underground, a route marketed as durable removal rather than short-lived offsetting.
The move also follows a broader pattern of banks looking to secure carbon removal supply years ahead of delivery. TD Bank recently agreed a 44,000-tonne, ten-year purchase from Charm beginning in 2029, while JPMorgan has separately signed a ten-year deal with Graphyte for 60,000 tonnes of removals from US biomass sequestration projects, according to The Asset.
For industrial decarbonisation professionals, the significance lies less in the headline volumes than in the financing structure. Long-term offtake contracts and venture-style debt are helping to underwrite first-of-a-kind removal assets, signalling that carbon removal is moving further from pilot phase towards an investable infrastructure class.
