Carbon credits
Your guide to market trends, supply and demand dynamics and prices across voluntary and compliance carbon credit markets
The voluntary and compliance carbon credit markets can be fragmented, opaque and marked by a lack of transparent pricing. Project type, quality, geography, vintage and co-benefits can all impact the value of a credit, making it difficult for buyers and sellers to navigate the market. As more companies and countries look to meet their carbon emission reduction targets in the coming years, clear price references across the different project sectors are required to allow the market to scale.
Fastmarkets aims to elevate transparency in the sector by providing reliable, objective and timely information to help you approach the market with confidence. The granularity in assessments we produce allows for deeper analysis into what is driving the market. While news and insights into policy developments, issuance and retirements, as well as supply dynamics, will keep you informed and allow for more confident decision making when navigating the carbon credit market.
