Carbon credit prices and ratings: a sector-region analysis

Key takeaways:

• Analysis using AlliedOffsets’ independent project-level price assessments shows that the relationship between BeZero Carbon Ratings and price is now apparent at the sector-region level.

• For three of the most actively traded segments of the market - Sub-Saharan African Cookstoves, Latin American Avoided Deforestation, and North American Improved Forest Management - there is clear evidence that higher-rated credits command higher prices, over both lower-rated credits and unrated credits within the same category.

• Across these three categories, the price-rating relationship has strengthened substantially over the last two years.
