Argus Voluntary Carbon Markets

The voluntary carbon market, and the projects evolving from it, is critical to nations and corporations who increasingly need to meet emission reduction targets in their journey to achieve net zero. But the market’s supply side is fragmented with a variety of project types, of widely diverging quality, host country and stage of maturity, generating carbon credits that lack fungibility. Markets also lack liquidity and transparency, and pricing is subjective.

The editorial team behind Argus Voluntary Carbon Markets collaborate with market participants to address these issues and deliver an authoritative view of global carbon markets. Argus’ reporters source proprietary information from across the globe. They fact-check, organise and create reliable and detailed price data and insight so you have a reference point you can trust in your decision making.
