Voluntary carbon credit portfolio target prices have tripled since 2022, survey finds
A survey of buyers found that target portfolio prices in the voluntary carbon market have roughly tripled since 2022. The findings were published this week.
A buyer survey reported this week indicates that target prices for voluntary carbon market portfolios have approximately tripled since 2022. The finding appears in Carbon Pulse coverage of voluntary market developments, a topic that spans governance, nature-based carbon, forestry, engineered removals, and CO2 management. Because the available article is largely subscription-gated, further methodological details, sample size, and price figures are not disclosed in the provided material.
If voluntary credit target prices have risen, buyers may be budgeting for higher-cost or higher-integrity portfolios. That could affect corporate climate strategies, project developers’ revenue expectations, and communities tied to carbon projects. It may also shape confidence in the voluntary market, though the survey alone cannot show whether actual transactions follow the same trend.
