ICAP’s Post

In an exclusive interview ahead of World Utilities Congress 2024, William Pazos, co-Founder and co-CEO of ACX (AirCarbon Exchange), shares insights into the current and future landscape of the carbon trading market. Pazos highlights the pivotal role of carbon trading in funding carbon mitigation initiatives and forecasts its increasing significance as corporate participation shifts from voluntary to mandatory. He underscores the impact of technology - especially Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) and AI - in enhancing transparency and building trust in carbon credits. Additionally, Pazos addresses pressing challenges like regulatory uncertainties and market volatility, emphasising the need for clear pricing signals for carbon projects.

Exciting news from the CCS+ initiative: Today, Verra is launching the public consultation for the second batch of carbon accounting methodologies developed by the Initiative. The following modules and tools are now open for stakeholder feedback:   • Capture module from Bio-Energy Power & Heat;   • Geological storage module;   • Tool for differentiating between emission reductions and carbon removals;   • Tool for differentiating between VCS and non-VCS flows. As one of the founding partners of the CCS+ Initiative, Northern Lights encourages stakeholder feedback to ensure that the methodologies follow the highest standards of environmental integrity, while being suited to the needs of a nascent industry. Please help us further improve the work by reviewing the draft modules and tools, and submitting your feedback before the 15th of April through the following link: https://lnkd.in/gQTgjNWG   This is an important milestone for the initiative, and the market for #BECCS and technical #CDR solutions more broadly.    #IndustrialCarbonManagement #CarbonMarkets #CarbonRemoval #BECCS 

In light of the recent cancellation of the Nasdaq-EEX deal, we foresee significant shifts in the Nordic power trading landscape. This decision underscores the critical importance of maintaining robust competition and regulatory scrutiny within energy markets.    #energytrading #technology #technologytalent Read more: https://reut.rs/3VYFUJF

📈Exciting Trends in CleanTech Investments RMI presented an insightful chart at a recent IRA Bootcamp, using data from The Clean Investment Monitor. The data shows increases in clean technology investments since 2018, as well as clear shifts in capital flows since the IRA was enacted in 2022. It's fascinating to see such rapid growth in #battery and #solar manufacturing. This valuable data enables us to make informed decisions and drive innovation in accelerating climate solutions.💡 Explore the interactive chart here: https://lnkd.in/eVXrCQrd #ira #cleantech #industryinsights #dataanalysis #innovation

Thank you Alexandru Floristean and fellow panelist for interesting discussion. And thank you Reuters Events for bringing all the people together and allowing all the inspiring discussions! As many time mentioned small can be beautiful. There are already areas where customer willingness to pay is there and off-take can be arranged. This can already make small-scale projects viable, allowing incremental scale-up. For large projects there is still more work to bring all the necessary incredients of success together. Location is driving the availability of necessary feedstocks like clean renewable (also baseload) electricity, water, biogenic CO2 or high quality iron ore. In Nordics we have these incredients well in place. These are driving the investment decisions already made and we can expect to see more of those in future.

🚀 Positive Impact of the Core Carbon Principles in the VCM! 🌍 Last week, the ICVCM approved 2 Verra methodologies for the Core Carbon Principles (#CCPs): 1️⃣ AMS-III.G.: Landfill Methane Recovery 2️⃣ ACM0001: Flaring or Use of Landfill Gas 🤔 How is the market reacting? We're seeing a surge in activities for projects eligible for the CCP label, like VCS138, VCS3010, and VCS441. These projects have all experienced price hikes for select vintages. For instance, VCS138 v22 leaped from $8.50/mtCO2e to $13.50/mtCO2e (offered price)! 📈💥 Check out our price trend for VCS138-v2022 (Landfill Gas Management / US) vs. our Gas Abatement North America curve: 🔹 Over the past few months, VCS138 has been consistently priced at a premium (averaging $2 above GA North America), showcasing its superior quality. 🔹 VCS138-2022's price dipped by around 35% since mid-March 2024. 🔹 But last Wednesday, it skyrocketed from $7.76/mtCO2e to $11.77/mtCO2e, a whopping 50% increase, bringing it back to March 2024 levels! This is a very encouraging price signal. Let's hope to see many more examples like this in the coming months! 🌱✨ #CarbonMarket #Sustainability #GreenFuture #MarketTrends #ClimateAction 💚🌍📊
