Carbon Advisory
Issues
Fragmented and complex carbon markets
There are several difficulties for corporate buyers of carbon offsets due to the fragmented and complex nature of the market. Taskforce on scaling voluntary carbon markets (2021) identifies several challenges faced by corporate buyers such as “insufficient understanding of offsetting, negative publicity on associated projects, difficulty finding sufficiently large project sizes, lack of commonly agreed principles to ensure the quality of credits, regulatory uncertainty, lack of pricing transparency, and limited visibility into project life cycle”.
