Accessing carbon markets
The barriers to entry for carbon markets are too high. Information on projects across the market is often unreliable, fragmented, and opaque. To get a whole market view, for established players and new entrants alike, it is hard to know where to start.
Making fundamental information publicly available
To address this, the following information is now publicly available on our ever-expanding platform:
Project reference data for over 18,000 projects, with 100% coverage across seven major registries
Market information, including remaining available credits for all projects, and CORSIA and Core Carbon Principle (CCP) eligibility labels for rated projects
BeZero Carbon Ratings and ratings summaries for projects of any type, in any sector, anywhere
Improving access is essential to scaling the market
Lots of this information exists, but is highly fragmented or hidden behind paywalls. This is the opposite of accessible. If the market is to scale, we must ask:
How can we expect more companies to consider carbon credits if they cannot even see what projects exist, across all sectors and types, in an easy way?
How can we build integrity and disclosure if we gatekeep who can see which projects are eligible for CCPs, the leading integrity initiative in the market?
How can we expect companies to invest more, exposing themselves to greater risk, if we don’t make headline carbon ratings visible to the whole market?
Making this information publicly accessible isn’t altruistic; it is essential to improving disclosure standards, building demand and delivering climate action. In a fragmented and complex market, we believe in removing barriers so anyone looking to understand the fundamentals can find them easily and with confidence.
Access reliable project information, all in one place
Simply by registering for an account, anyone can now freely access information on 18,000+ projects, market information and insights, alongside the market's most widely-used carbon rating, all in one place.
