Voluntary carbon markets are gaining quiet momentum
The guest argued that voluntary carbon markets are experiencing a quiet resurgence, driven by corporate buyers purchasing forestry credits despite negative media sentiment.
The argument
The guest noted that companies like DocuSign and Airbnb are quietly buying forestry carbon credits, with some pricing around $42 a ton. He expects voluntary and compliance carbon markets to converge by 2030, driving prices higher.
The thesis, stress-tested
✓ What validates it
- ✓Convergence of voluntary and compliance carbon market pricing by 2030
- ✓Increased corporate disclosure of forestry credit purchases in quarterly reports
▸ Risks discussed
- ▸Lack of a single global price for carbon
- ▸Historical volatility and market collapses in voluntary carbon markets
Hear it yourself
"I was at a, seminar during climate week with a big broker, and, what surprised me is companies like DocuSign, Airbnb, etcetera, were buying forestry carbon credits. So I don't wanna call it green hushing, but quietly, corporations are buying carbon credits in the voluntary markets."
