Description

By 2035, the global Carbon Offset/Carbon Credit Market is expected to attain USD 2,18,22,145.08 million, growing at a strong CAGR of 34.2% from 2025 to 2035. Corporate net-zero targets, regulatory support, and investor scrutiny are compelling the transformation of the global carbon markets. As companies put biodiversity and the health of ecosystems at the forefront of their concerns, the need for reliable, high-quality carbon credits becomes higher and higher.

Corporate Net-Zero & Nature-Positive Strategies
Increasing corporate carbon neutrality commitments lead enterprises to go beyond mere carbon accounting and face exciting and integrated nature strategies that would address biodiversity protection, forest conservation, and water stewardship issues, among others.

Key Market Segmentation Insights
By Type
• Compliance Market: Mandatory carbon trading under regulatory frameworks.
• Voluntary Market: Discretionary credits for corporate climate commitments.
By Project Type
• Avoidance/Reduction Projects: Lower emissions via process optimization.
• Removal/Sequestration Projects: Capture carbon through natural solutions.
By End User
• Power & Energy: Manage carbon intensity of energy production.
• Aviation & Transportation: Offset unavoidable fuel-related emissions.
• Industrial: Mitigate emissions from large-scale operations.
• Buildings: Address lifecycle and operational emissions.
• Others: Enable decarbonization across emerging applications.

Regional Perspectives
North America and Europe serve as the main pillars of the global carbon markets, being equipped with stringent regulations and verified standards. Policy expansion and nature-based projects fuel the growth of Asia Pacific, South America, and MEA regions.

Strategic Market Distinction
Carbon offsets are a means of voluntary climate action that can provide the funds needed for carbon reduction or removal projects. Compliance markets are those in which the use of carbon credits is regulated, the total amount of emissions is set, and organizations are provided with tradable allowances to ensure conformity with the law.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
