The recently launched Carbon Compared launched to increase transparency within the VCM, making it easier to make informed decisions around carbon credits and offsetting. The platform connects buyers directly to project developers, enabling a direct relationship with the project that their purchases support.
On the free platform, project design documents, methodologies, VVB reports, project location, head office location, project type, price per tonne, durability, BeZero Carbon rating, Calyx rating, number of co-benefits and credit availability can all be viewed and compared in seconds.
Carbon credit pricing has historically been opaque. Transaction prices vary wildly depending on specific factors. Should platforms display average prices? Recent deals? Price ranges? Most marketplaces struggle to answer this question.
Carbon Compared takes a two-tier approach. The platform displays each project developer’s maximum price per tonne, the rate buyers would pay for the minimum purchase quantity with no volume discounts. This provides a transparent baseline for comparison and works well for smaller transactions.
For larger purchases where volume discounts apply, Carbon Compared’s new Quote Request tool delivers accurate, customised pricing. Buyers simply enter their requirements and the platform sends requests to all relevant developers. Within days, buyers receive a summary of tailored quotes with exact pricing for their specific volume.
Buyers can then connect directly with their chosen developer, bypassing marketplace markups. What was once a complex, opaque process requiring consultants or brokers is now accessible to any company seeking high-quality carbon credits.
