We’re pleased to share a new free report, The State of Quality and Pricing in the VCM, developed through a collaboration between Calyx Global and ClearBlue Markets. This report provides a first-of-its-kind standardized view of how carbon credit integrity and pricing are evolving, offering valuable insights for buyers, project developers, and market stakeholders.
This report leverages:
- The Calyx Carbon Integrity Index™, built on Calyx Global’s extensive ratings database, tracks issuances and retirements' quality in the VCM.
- The Calyx-ClearBlue Carbon Price-Integrity Index™ combines ClearBlue Markets’ 2,000+ carbon credit price data points with 800 integrity ratings from Calyx Global, providing a clear link between credit pricing and quality.
Key Takeaways:
- Quality is improving – The Integrity Index for Issuances reached new highs in 2024, reflecting a shift toward higher-quality credits.
- High-quality credits now carry a premium – Buyers are increasingly prioritizing integrity, with top-rated credits commanding higher prices.
- Market transparency is advancing – These indices provide a clearer way to track quality and pricing trends.
