Martin emphasizes the interdisciplinary nature of the carbon markets and the importance of building a strong ecosystem of partners. He also provides insights into the project finance process and highlights the key factors Flowcarbon considers when evaluating projects, such as feedstock availability, revenue streams, and commercial viability.
