Voluntary Market
As the world leader in analysis and modelling for the world’s regulated markets, Bloomberg New Energy Finance also offers a service dedicated to the voluntary carbon market. As carbon markets gain in significance and continue to spread their global reach, more pressure will be experienced by organisations and individuals to do their share in reducing emissions. As this will largely be done through the voluntary carbon markets, this market could grow significantly in the coming years, even when compliance regimes are operational.
Our analysis of the voluntary carbon market looks at every aspect of this diverse space. We have tracked price and volume trends for voluntary carbon transactions across all regions, project types and standards since 2006, and we constantly follow regulatory policy developments to analyse the implications for voluntary market projects and participants. This service offers objective, independent research that will help any company operating in this market:
- Assess growth potential across the various parts of the voluntary market value chain
- Identify pricing trends for voluntary credits with respect to standard, project type, and region
