Abatable

⇢🌳🌍 We’re incredibly excited to announce the launch of our new report, Decoding the voluntary carbon market in 2024 and beyond, offering a new view of the market for VCM participants. The report is the 2025 edition of our annual voluntary carbon market developer overview report series, with an expanded focus this year and additional insights on carbon credit demand, prices and policies, alongside our regular analysis of the carbon project developer ecosystem. It outlines how carbon market suppliers are regearing for integrity, how compliance drivers and carbon credit claim evolution have started to reshape the market and, remarkably, how carbon market funding deals reached $16.3bn in 2024 –18 times the value of credit retirements.

Despite increasing calls to focus solely on technology-based carbon removals, Apple, Google, and Microsoft are continuing to invest in nature-based solutions (NBS)— reinforcing the long-term value of diversified climate portfolios. This month: 🔷 Apple retired 100,000 ART TREES credits from Guyana, marking its first use of non-Verra-issued credits. 🔷 Google partnered with Indigo Ag to invest $1.5mn in regenerative agriculture, aligning with its 2030 water replenishment goal. 🔷 Microsoft signed a deal for 1.5mn ARR credits in India, contributing to its 2030 carbon-negative goal. 💡At the same time, South Africa has increased carbon offset limits in its carbon tax system—expanding compliance options to attract investment while still cutting emissions. What does this mean for carbon markets? • Big Tech remains a major buyer of nature-based credits, despite shifting market narratives. • Demand for carbon credits is growing, with new buyers and compliance markets emerging. • South Africa’s policy changes highlight how governments can drive demand for carbon credits with carbon taxes.

⇢🌳🌍 Carbon credit demand under CORSIA is set to take off. Additional demand under the First Phase of the aviation offsetting scheme will equate to over a quarter of the entire VCM’s current retirement volume. This demand is likely to be 2-3 times larger than CORSIA eligible supply during the First Phase of the scheme and 9-10 times larger in the Second Phase under current market conditions. We also expect limited carbon credit supply to be available to meet CORSIA guidelines for high-quality credits under Abatable’s CORSIA ‘Realistic scenario’, which assumes projects issue credits over the average duration of their crediting period. Keep an eye out for our soon-to-be-launched CORSIA modelling.

⇢🌳🌍 The growth in the net surplus of carbon credits available in the market is decelerating.  There has been a slowdown in the growth of the market oversupply of carbon credits since 2022, following falls in annual credit issuances while credit retirement levels have remained consistently healthy. The percentage of carbon removal credits available in the market has come down. Fewer removal credits are now left unsold or unretired and companies compete over a limited supply of these high-demand credits. We expect the current level of demand to continue in the next two years, with companies continuing to favour carbon removal credits to align with the Science Based Targets initiative's guidance while they move closer to interim 2030 emissions reduction targets. We further expect strong additional retirements from airlines entering the market due to the CORSIA international aviation offsetting scheme. Abatable estimates airlines will need to retire 135-182mn units during the First Phase of the scheme alone (from 2024 to 2026).

🚫 Strict IC-VCM rules have left no cookstove carbon credits currently eligible for the Core Carbon Principle label. The Integrity Council for the Voluntary Carbon Market (ICVCM) has introduced new quantification requirements for cookstove projects that go beyond the methodology level – meaning that, for now, no cookstove projects qualify for Core Carbon Principle (CCP) eligibility. ❓What do the rules specify? - Stricter monitoring: Only direct fuel use measurement (Kitchen Performance Tests) is now accepted. - New biomass calculations: The fraction of Non-Renewable Biomass (fNRB) must now follow the MoFuSS model or default to a much lower 0.30 value, reducing eligible supply. For project developers this means higher compliance costs but also likely higher premiums for high-integrity credits. Meanwhile, Article 6.2 trading is picking up pace as Sweden and Ghana have struck a deal for 450,000 Internationally Transferred Mitigation Outcomes (ITMOs). Switzerland, Japan, and South Korea are already targeting up to 177mn ITMOs by 2030. Other countries seeking ITMOs need to act fast to sign agreements and scale up projects. 💡 Read our full analysis in this week’s carbon market update: https://lnkd.in/eQap2cHW Also covered this week: 📊 Weekly carbon credit issuance and retirement activity 📈 NEW: Current carbon credit price benchmarks in association with Fastmarkets 📰  The best of the rest – what else we're reading this week #CarbonMarkets #VoluntaryCarbonMarket #VCM #ClimateFinance #NetZero #Cookstoves #Sustainability #Article6 #EmissionsTrading #CORSIA #ITMOs #ClimateAction

⇢🌳🌍 Who’s issued the most carbon credits as of 2024? Our Decoding the VCM in 2024 and beyond report outlines the largest carbon credit issuers and breaks down the type of credits issued, the number of credits issued over the last three years and the percentage of credits aligned with high-integrity initiatives in the market today.

⇢🌳🌍 Carbon market integrity initiatives are beginning to be reflected in credit prices. Analysis from our Decoding the VCM in 2024 and beyond report indicates reveals a strong positive correlation between Abatable’s Risk Quality Score and carbon credit price. Lower-quality projects are associated with lower prices, while higher-quality projects with higher prices (and higher price dispersion). On top of this, CCP-labelled credits and credits Abatable has assessed as having a high likelihood of receiving a CCP label are starting to be offered or traded at a premium to non-CCP credits. We see premiums between $0.6 and $10 per tonne for CCP credits, with a median value of $2.3.
