Emerging Trends in Carbon Credit Markets: The Shift Towards Quality Over Cost
CARBON CAPTURE
In Indonesia, a significant peatland forest area is being preserved through initiatives that reduce wildfire risks and promote local economic opportunities, funded by carbon credits valued above $10 per ton. In contrast, similar projects in Africa struggle to sell credits for under $1 per ton, highlighting a growing emphasis on quality and integrity in carbon credit markets.
Following scandals over environmental integrity, buyers are now conducting thorough due diligence and paying premiums for high-quality credits. This shift is reshaping the market dynamics, necessitating careful evaluation of project quality for corporate buyers.
