Vietnam officially launches first carbon trading exchange

welhunt.it — Mon, 29 Jun 2026 06:48:05 +0000

Vietnam officially launched its carbon trading exchange, initiating pilot trading of greenhouse gas emission allowances (VN2025). On the first day, over 1,200 tons of CO2e were traded, closing at VND130,000 ($4.95) per ton. The pilot phase involves 92 companies from high-emitting sectors like thermal power, steel, and cement, which have been allocated 511 million tons of allowances for 2025–2026. This cap-and-trade system allows carbon credits to offset up to 30% of quotas, supporting Vietnam’s net-zero 2050 target ahead of full market operation in 2029.

The European Commission has launched the CRCF Buyers’ Club website to aggregate demand and accelerate private investment in certified carbon units.
Operating under a hybrid public-private model, the initiative features two separate tracks: permanent carbon removal (CDR), which uses three approved methodologies (DACCS, BioCCS, and Biochar) to secure long-term offtake agreements for major projects, and carbon farming, which focuses on land-based sequestration with official certification methodologies entering into force in Q3 2026.

Carbon Credit Retirements Hit Record High Despite Falling Supply: What Does This Say About the Market?

welhunt.it — Mon, 22 Jun 2026 06:46:06 +0000

According to AlliedOffsets’ H1 2026 report, the Voluntary Carbon Market (VCM) is experiencing a historic structural shift. Despite a 44% year-over-year plunge in new credit issuances (dropping to 108.2 million), carbon credit retirements rose 4% to an all-time high of 104 million, successfully clearing out historical oversupply.
Key market takeaways include:
– Premium on Quality: Driven by integrity frameworks, issuances of Core Carbon Principles (CCP)-approved credits jumped 64%, while their retirement rose 18%. Conversely, rejected project issuances fell 67%.
– Asian Demand Surge: Driven by corporate procurement coalitions like Singapore’s ARC, Asia has become the fastest-growing source of new buyers.
– CDR Bottlenecks: Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) demand outpaces supply 18-to-1. Biochar dominates (53% of retirements), while Direct Air Capture (DAC) struggles, delivering just 0.1% of its 2 million contracted tonnes due to high costs.

Bonn climate talks deliver mixed results

welhunt.it — Sat, 20 Jun 2026 06:45:36 +0000

The UNFCCC talks in Bonn concluded with mixed results as technical negotiations on emissions mitigation and adaptation finance stalled, deferring critical decisions to COP31. Driven by a Mideast Gulf energy crisis and the closure of the Hormuz Strait, deep divisions persisted regarding global reliance on crude oil, natural gas, and oil products. Major fossil fuel exporters strongly resisted making the transition an official agenda topic, though Brazil is advancing a non-binding phase-out roadmap. While parallel progress was achieved on the UN’s “just transition” mechanism and non-state actor initiatives, long-term hurdles intensified due to disputes over the EU’s carbon border taxes and a concerning pushback against climate science.

Bilateral UN carbon market under scrutiny

welhunt.it — Tue, 16 Jun 2026 06:44:29 +0000

The UNFCCC’s technical reviews of initial reports from 23 nations active under Article 6.2 revealed significant inconsistencies, triggering a debate over environmental integrity. Major issues included non-conservative baselines, non-permanence risks, and misalignment with national NDCs.
While the EU pushed for closer alignment with stricter Article 6.4 rules to resolve these gaps, frontrunners defended the market’s flexibility. Switzerland highlighted its project-by-project methodologies, while Japan rejected alignment, trusting its Joint Crediting Mechanism’s baseline.

Thailand urged to put nature on national balance sheet for green growth

welhunt.it — Mon, 15 Jun 2026 06:44:03 +0000

The World Bank is urging Thailand to adopt Natural Capital Accounting (NCA) to integrate the economic value of assets like forests and watersheds into national accounts. This framework makes the “invisible” contributions of nature—such as flood control and tourism support—visible to policymakers. Rather than replacing GDP, NCA ensures current economic growth does not deplete resources needed for future prosperity. This approach helps Thailand identify green growth opportunities in sustainable agriculture, eco-tourism, and biotechnology while mitigating long-term fiscal risks.
