The “Net Zero: The Integrity Pathway” programme is showcasing best practices and innovative solutions in carbon reduction and offsetting.

Carbon credits are an essential tool for businesses that are looking to transition to net zero operations and offset their carbon footprint.

In this article, we look at biochar carbon offsets, applications of biochar, and the risks associated with such carbon-offsetting projects.

Globally ruminants are estimated to produce methane and other greenhouse gases equivalent to 3.1 gigatonnes of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere annually.

Geospatial technology is an emerging field of study concerned with the geographic mapping and analysis of the Earth and is increasingly used within the VCM to help establish and monitor carbon offset projects.

As the world progresses towards net-zero, some businesses have a harder time reducing their emissions. In this article, we discuss why that is the case and how they can adapt.

On the 8th of June 2022, the Voluntary Carbon Market Integrity Initiative (VCMI) launched the first iteration of its Claims Code of Practice. The code aims to provide much needed guidance on how businesses can use carbon offsets, how to talk about them and what claims they can make when using them.

In this article we will review initiatives which are underway with the goal to bring standardisation and definitional agreements within the VCM. We look at the current issues with quality and how new initiatives may offer solutions.

We are thrilled to announce the formation of our Technical Advisory Board. We have assembled a group of leading carbon scientists and policy experts in the field of forestry and carbon removal solutions.

Companies have started to recognize the urgency of climate action as demonstrated by a rapid acceleration of corporate’s net zero plans. However, in the absence of specific guidance on how to achieve these net zero targets, corporate approaches to climate action and environmental claims have varied widely to-date.

Previously, we have looked at the pathway for an organisation's transition to net-zero and beyond. Inevitably, most organisations will need to invest in carbon offsets to reach net-zero as their operations begin to fundamentally decarbonise, and an organisation may continue to invest in further offsetting projects to reach a climate positive goal.

The State of UK’s Voluntary Carbon market report is a snapshot of the UK voluntary market today. It investigates the potential significance of this market, how it is structured and explores the current state of supply.

On March 15th, we hosted a fireside chat discussing the current state of the carbon market, its price volatility and scarcity in supply and how long-term offtake agreements can help market participants navigate this dynamic environment.

Carbon markets are booming, predominantly driven by expectations that carbon offsetting demand from corporate buyers is set to increase as a result of corporate net zero commitments.

Whether you manage an international business, a complex financial portfolio, or simply your personal affairs as a citizen, decarbonising your activities requires understanding a number of important terminologies.

Join us on the 15th of March to discuss how long-term offtake agreements can help carbon market participants navigate the supply shortage and rising prices of carbon credits.
