The market for carbon offsets, also known as carbon credit trading services, was estimated to be worth USD 254.45 million in 2022. Over the course of the forecast period, it is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 22.53%, reaching USD 861.0 million by 2028.
There has also been considerable growth in the voluntary OTC market. However, due to the number of standards in the voluntary market, as well as the number of uncertified projects, it is difficult to tell how many projects are functional and selling credits in this market. Nevertheless, the growth in transaction volume does suggest a strong growth in the number of projects being established. For voluntary market projects, the US is a major market in terms of transaction volume. This can be explained by the fact that the US lacks a large compliance market, so companies developing projects there have up to now tended to look to the voluntary market. It can also be attributed to the fact that the US is not a signatory to the Kyoto Protocol, and so US-based projects are not eligible to participate in CDM mechanisms
Delays in verification site visits may cause significant delays in offset issuance. To receive offsets during many reporting years, a site visit is needed. Many project sectors, however, allow for desk-top verification on some years. Registries should start thinking about virtual site visits using current and new virtual communication mediums. Covid-19's effect on reporting period deadlines is also being considered by carbon offset registries. It may be difficult to complete verification within the given reporting period if there are delays, such as missed site visits. If the reason for the extension is specifically related to Covid-19, the Climate Action Reserve would allow programmatic deadlines to be extended by 6 months.
Growing concern about the climate crisis across the world is a major factor forcing the huge increases in individuals and businesses choosing to offset their emissions by investing in carbon-reducing projects in developing countries. NGOs and organizations involved in carbon offsetting have seen as much as a fourfold increase in investment from people who want to try to mitigate their carbon footprints. Agencies who work with large corporations have also seen a spike in investment in carbon offsetting over the last 18 months. For instance, ClimateCare, a company that provides programs to help organizations offset residual carbon emissions, has seen the amount of carbon offset increase from about 2m tonnes to 20m tonnes in that time, according to its chief executive, Edward Hanrahan.
