In this episode of Green Disruptors, host Megan Kjar sits down with Andrew Gilmour, serial entrepreneur and CEO of Laconic, to tackle one of the biggest puzzles in sustainability: how to turn carbon credits into a liquid, investable asset. Andrew traces the evolution of carbon markets from voluntary offsets to potential global securities, and explains why today’s market often feels more like a charitable endeavor than a true trading platform.

Key topics include:

Carbon as a Financial Asset: Why we must treat carbon like any other security to unlock liquidity and price discovery.

Data Management: How reliable data aggregation builds market trust and underpins every transaction.

Market Infrastructure: The tools and relationships needed to bridge governments, corporations, and traders.

Economic Opportunity: How a well‑functioning carbon market can fund environmental enforcement and drive sustainable development.

Tune in to learn how Laconic is creating a carbon‑negative flow battery of information—packaging “carbon” as a tradable instrument that benefits both investors and the planet. Whether you’re a climate tech investor, policymaker, or sustainability advocate, this episode will reshape how you think about the true value of carbon.
