Carbon credit prices today | Live

Mandatory (compliance) markets are governed by national, regional, or provincial law and compel emission sources to meet carbon emissions reduction targets. Because compliance programme–offset credits are generated and traded for regulatory compliance, they typically act like other commodity pricing.

Voluntary carbon markets enable carbon emitters to offset their hard-to-abate emissions by acquiring carbon credits generated by initiatives aimed at removing or decreasing carbon emissions from the environment and restoring nature. Companies can engage in the voluntary carbon market on their own or as part of an industry-wide programme.
