We are a collaborative team of CDR experts providing services in research and development, project management, and carbon credit certification processes

We help you to bring your CDR product into the market

After acquiring a wide understanding of the carbon market from the scientific, project developer and registries perspectives, Dr. Elisabete Trindade Pedrosa founded CDRexperts to support its rapidly needed scaling by gathering together the scientific experts needed to translate deep-tech into action.

With first-hand experience on enhanced rock weathering and mineral reactions of carbonated materials, pilot and scaled tech design, she can design MRV and SOP plans tailored to robust CDR quantification. Another interest is on eligibility of new CDR technologies.

Dr. Maria-Elena Vorrath

Dr. Daniel Rodelli

Dr. Maria-Elena Vorrath specializes in enhanced rock weathering, biochar, and marine CDR. With extensive experience in project development within academic research, she collaborates closely with market suppliers and carbon registries. Her key strength lies in her ability to assist stakeholders in the carbon market in exploring synergies among various CDR options.

Dr. Vorrath is a respected keynote speaker on climate solutions. Her blend of practical research experience dedication to climate action, and strong communication skills, make her a valuable resource for advancing CDR.

Dr. Daniel Rodelli transitioned from academia to the Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) industry to apply his expertise in geological oceanography to practical climate solutions.

With experience in enhanced ocean alkalinity (OA) and terrestrial enhanced rock weathering (ERW), he has led field and laboratory experiments, developed field experiment campaigns and data pipelines, and managed third-party collaborations. Dr. Rodelli’s skills in MRV practices, project management, and technical reporting support scalable and robust carbon removal strategies

Dr. López Moreira is a trained environmental and industrial engineer with skills in several programming languages and geospatial analysis. These skills allowed him to work in analysis of complex datasets applied to many areas such as meteorology, hydro-thermodynamics, geological and ecological processes, climate change and ecotoxicology.

Dr. López Moreira is ready to provide custom-tailored process-based mathematical models to support scaling of CDR methodologies.

Dr. Gregor López Moreira

Dr. Ben Wanxuan Yao specializes in assessing and developing scalable CDR projects. With a background in marine biogeochemical modeling and geoinformation, he has assessed the feasibility, effectiveness, and risk of carbon removal approaches including ocean alkalinity enhancement, blue carbon, and BECCS.

Dr. Yao contributed to the first holistic assessment framework for CDR and developed portfolios to support regional net-zero goals. He can help assess CDR projects, quantify their potential, identify key modeling and monitoring gaps, and support with carbon accounting and credit registry.

Dr. Devika Varma

Dr. Devika Varma is a data-driven biogeochemist and marine microbiologist with a background in climate paleo-reconstruction with a motivation to translate data into scalable climate solutions.

With experience in handling large and complex data sets, Dr. Devika can help you design MRV strategies for both marine and terrestrial carbon sequestration strategies. Her know-how can be brought to help you automate calculations and build your database system. Additionally, Dr. Devika is the perfect fit for helping define your baseline scenario and project counterfactuals.

Dr. Ishan Fursule

Dr. Fursule holds a PhD in Chemical Engineering and has several years of experience as an industry professional within the voluntary carbon market (VCM). Combining deep technical expertise with strong business development skills, he has contributed to BECCS, DACCS, Biochar, and ERW projects across the carbon removal landscape.

His work includes CAPEX and OPEX assessments to benchmark $/tCO₂ removed, support for methodology selection and monitoring plans, and client-facing technical leadership. From investor due diligence and offtake discussions to aligning engineering realities with commercial and fundraising needs.

Dr. Maria Mooshammer

Dr. Maria Mooshammer is a trained soil biogeochemist with an extensive background in soil and plant science within agricultural settings. With industry experience and deep technical roots, she brings hands-on experience in ERW, Biochar, and Technosols.

Maria supports clients across the full CDR project lifecycle, from early project design and implementation to high-level strategic oversight. She specializes in the design of cost-effective MRV frameworks. For investors, registries, and buyers, she can provide rigorous technical due diligence, including project assessment and validation, ensuring the highest standards of integrity in the voluntary carbon market.
