The increasing concern about climate change and global warming has made more companies aware of the need to stop or reduce climate change. This can be achieved by reducing greenhouse emissions and achieving the goal of being carbon neutral. The world’s top 100 companies have one of their mission statements to be carbon neutral by 2050 or sooner.

Many companies find the use of carbon credit essential as they are unable to reduce their emissions by other means.

Global Voluntary Carbon Credit Trading Market Definition

A carbon credit is a trade permit that allows the company to emit a certain amount of greenhouse gases or carbon dioxide. One credit permit allows one ton of emissions. Each company is allotted a set number of carbon credits that will allow them to pollute up to a particular level; if the carbon credits are not used, the corporation may sell or trade them to any other company. The carbon credits issued to the companies are monitored and reduced periodically. The benefit of reducing carbon emissions to the private companies is very significant as, firstly, they do not have to buy excess credit tokens. Furthermore, the unutilized carbon credits can be sold to other companies giving them the monetary benefit. Once the carbon credit is used, it is given the title of “retired” as it cannot be traded or used again. Companies have the option to participate in the voluntary carbon market as an individual entity or be a part of the industry-wide program.

Global Voluntary Carbon Credit Trading Market Overview

The rise in the number of companies working towards their goal of being carbon neutral is driving the global voluntary carbon credit trading market. The Institute of International Finance (IIF) has launched a new program to expand the voluntary carbon credit trading market. The benefit of the voluntary carbon credit trading market is the influx of private financers to sustainable, climate-focused projects that, without the presence of this market, would not have started. These projects provide many benefits to the environment, such as protection of biodiversity, reduction in pollution levels, and improvement of public health. Furthermore, due to the benefits of unutilized carbon credits, a greater number of companies invest in newer technologies that help in reducing carbon emissions and sustainable development.

The demand for carbon credits can significantly reduce efforts required by governments across the world to reduce carbon and greenhouse gas emissions. But it is mandatory that the world needs a voluntary carbon credit trading market that is transparent, easily verifiable, and accessible across the globe. One of the problems with the current market is the difficulty of finding out the fair price of carbon credit. Along with this, the uncertainty risk that the supplier takes by investing in a project without a fair estimation of the worth of carbon credits that the buyer will pay. The current estimation is that the market for voluntary carbon credits could see a jump by a factor of 15 by 2030, while this number is expected to increase by 100 by 2050.
