The Codes give carbon buyers assurances that the credits are generated by a responsible scheme and that the carbon benefits claimed have been properly validated. …Read the full story
The economic shutdown surrounding the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 saw emissions falling globally but they have since bounced back to even higher levels than before. In 2021, coal drove 40% of the carbon emissions growth and emissions from coal are currently at 15.3 gigatons, the highest ever on record. This increased contribution […]
At the COP26 last year, many countries, including India, pledged to contribute towards net-zero emissions.Along with other measures needed to reach net-zero, electric vehicles have been witnessing a full throttle push and widespread adoption for their near-zero emission capabilities. In the context of EVs, carbon credits are generated by replacing fossil fuel-based vehicles with electrified […]
The COP26 environmental summit in 2021 and the Paris Climate Accords have raised awareness of climate issues and increased pressure on companies to reduce their carbon footprint, including voluntary carbon credits. The Voluntary Carbon Market was worth $1 billion in 2021 and is predicted to be valued at $100 billion by 2050, a growth of […]

On the macro front, the European Central Bank announced its plans to phase out of its bond-buying program by September, which could lead to higher interest rates. Alternative cryptocurrencies is down 3% over the past 24 hours, compared with a 6% […]
We’re not using our lands optimally: that is the message of a new study that shows where the world’s major food crops should be grown to maximise yield and minimise climate impacts. The redesign would eliminate the need for irrigation by locating crops in places where rainfall provides the full complement of water needed to […]
Classically, researchers collect soil samples in the field and haul them back to the lab, where they analyze the material to determine its makeup. In a recent study, University of Illinois researchers show new machine-learning methods based on laboratory soil hyperspectral data could supply equally accurate estimates of soil organic carbon. Wang and his collaborators leveraged a […]

Santos has indicated that the financial model for the Moomba CCS project was predicated on a $70 per tonne carbon price. While ACCU prices had yet to hit that threshold, they were much closer to that mark before the Regulator’s recent change in position regarding ACCU contracts. As RenewEconomy has covered, selling these ACCUs into […]
The ‘Liquid Carbon Credit’ is a tokenized carbon credit designed to be traded at high liquidity on Likvidi’s own platform and on other blockchain-based exchanges and platforms. LCO2 is a real-world digital asset, with each credit equivalent to one tonne of carbon removed from the atmosphere. The COP26 environmental summit in 2021 and the Paris […]
