Japan opens carbon credit opportunity for Indian green projects

welhunt.it — Mon, 31 Aug 2026 09:26:33 +0000

Indian developers of green projects may gain revenue opportunities by transferring mitigation outcomes to Japanese buyers under Article 6.2 of the Paris Agreement. India has bilateral arrangements with Japan and South Korea and is discussing cooperation with Singapore, Switzerland and Sweden. Fourteen eligible activity categories include renewable energy storage, offshore wind, green hydrogen and ammonia, compressed biogas, sustainable aviation fuel, clean cooking, CCUS and technologies for hard-to-abate industries. Japan operates the Joint Crediting Mechanism, with methodologies, procedures and registry arrangements, and aims to secure 100 million tonnes of cumulative reductions and removals by 2030. Japanese credit prices are estimated at $11–$27 per tonne. These opportunities are separate from India’s domestic compliance carbon market, which currently covers 490 industrial units across seven sectors. Singapore could provide an outlet because companies may use eligible international credits against part of their carbon tax liability, although transaction prices will depend on negotiations.

Turkey Sets Up Carbon Market To Capture Revenue From EU Trade

welhunt.it — Mon, 31 Aug 2026 09:26:13 +0000

Türkiye has established an emissions trading system to create a domestic carbon market and retain carbon-related revenue that might otherwise be collected by the European Union through CBAM. The regulation establishes rules for emissions monitoring, reporting and verification and domestic market governance. Because eligible carbon prices paid in the country of production can reduce an importer’s CBAM liability, Turkish producers may pay more of their carbon costs domestically, although the ETS will not automatically eliminate CBAM charges. The TR ETS will operate a pilot phase during 2026 and 2027, followed by its first implementation period from 2028 to 2035. Covered installations will require five-year emissions permits and be classified into three categories based on emissions. Revenue from allowance sales, permits, market stability operations, authorized international credits and certain fines will support the Climate Change Directorate. The system uses product benchmarks and emissions intensity, with free allocation planned for industries.

Biomass carbon credits to be auctioned on BCX in September

welhunt.it — Fri, 28 Aug 2026 09:25:53 +0000

Malaysia’s first technology-based biomass carbon credit project will be auctioned on Bursa Carbon Exchange on September 29. The Verra-registered Malaysia Grouped Biomass Waste Recovery and Utilisation Project in Penang converts high-moisture biomass residues, including palm oil empty fruit bunches and wood chips, into energy that replaces fossil-fuel boilers and turbines. Its first issuance tranche covers vintages 2023 and 2024, with 215,000 credits available, although the auction volume has not been finalized. Project developer Climate Quest has set an indicative reserve price of RM20–RM25 per tonne of CO2e. BCX has auctioned five projects since its launch, including three carbon credit and two renewable energy certificate projects. However, the exchange reports limited voluntary-market liquidity because domestic demand remains weak. Its 2024 auction of credits from Sabah’s Kuamut Rainforest Conservation Project attracted interest, but foreign buyers purchased 98%, highlighting the need to expand Malaysian corporate participation in the voluntary carbon market.

UK sets out schemes eligible for CBAM price relief

welhunt.it — Fri, 28 Aug 2026 09:25:33 +0000

The UK has published a non-exhaustive list of carbon pricing schemes that may support Carbon Price Relief under its CBAM from 1 January 2027. Recognised systems include emissions trading schemes, carbon taxes in Chile, Serbia, Singapore and South Africa, Australia’s Safeguard Mechanism, Canada’s federal OBPS, India’s CCTS and Taiwan’s carbon fee. Recognition does not automatically exempt imports or credit the scheme’s headline price. Importers must calculate and verify the effective carbon price borne by the producing installation, accounting for covered emissions, free allowances, thresholds, removals, rebates and compensation. That effective price is applied only to embodied emissions covered by the qualifying scheme, converted into sterling and deducted from UK CBAM liability. The government will assess and add further schemes later.

Coal sector demand skews carbon credits market

welhunt.it — Thu, 27 Aug 2026 09:25:14 +0000

IEEFA warns that Australia’s coal mining sector is relying on carbon credits to comply with declining Safeguard Mechanism baselines, while onsite methane abatement and diesel decarbonisation remain limited. Sixty-eight coal mines are covered by the mechanism, and rising production could keep sector emissions elevated into the 2030s. Because Australia’s ACCU market is dominated by land-based carbon sequestration projects, while credits from methane-reduction projects are declining, mines may increasingly purchase units that compensate for carbon dioxide without directly addressing their methane emissions. IEEFA argues this demand could distort the wider carbon market, crowd out other buyers and shift responsibility for emissions reductions to other sectors. It urges policymakers to address coal-sector reliance on offsets during the government’s 2026–27 Safeguard Mechanism review.

New Gold Standard tool helps renewable-energy projects in 85% of countries overcome data barriers

welhunt.it — Thu, 27 Aug 2026 09:24:53 +0000

Gold Standard has published Tool 10, a mandatory technical addendum supporting renewable energy projects that apply the UNFCCC Article 6.4 grid-emissions methodology under GS4GG. An independent assessment found that fewer than 15% of host countries possess the digital infrastructure required for the methodology’s preferred high-resolution data approaches. Tool 10 introduces three provisional measures for data-constrained markets. First, eligible projects lacking hourly dispatch data may use annual data with a 10% conservativeness discount. Second, vintage-decay calculations may apply a 5% ceiling, a 24-month administrative lag buffer and a floor preventing negative emission factors. Third, renewable projects paired with adequately sized battery energy storage systems may qualify as non-intermittent generation under specified conditions. Gold Standard says these time-bound measures preserve environmental integrity while preventing developing-market projects from losing access to carbon finance because of unavailable data infrastructure. The addendum reflects differing national capabilities while improving baseline stability, auditability and methodological accessibility.

Bob Brown Calls the Koala Park Carbon Credits an Offset Scam

welhunt.it — Wed, 26 Aug 2026 09:24:34 +0000

Former Greens leader Bob Brown has called carbon credits intended to finance the Great Koala National Park a scam, questioning whether government can guarantee forest protection for 100 years. Method developer Andrew Macintosh rejects the criticism, arguing the forests would otherwise be harvested and that safeguards would reduce credits if logging increased elsewhere. The park could generate up to A$15 million annually. New South Wales Premier Chris Minns supports carbon revenue as a funding source, while minister Chris Bowen opposes excluding coal and gas companies from buying credits nationwide. The Greens, whose Senate votes could determine whether the method survives a disallowance attempt, have not announced their position. Three signatories have requested publication of the method’s modelling and departmental advice.

Coalition Moves to Halt Labor’s Carbon Land Grab Plan

welhunt.it — Wed, 26 Aug 2026 09:24:11 +0000

Australia’s Coalition plans to introduce legislation preventing the Clean Energy Finance Corporation from financing agricultural land acquisitions intended for tree planting and carbon offsets. It also proposes abolishing Labor’s net-zero laws and what it calls carbon taxes. The announcement follows a A$142 million investment in Tasmania’s 21,745-hectare Rushy Lagoon property, including A$69 million from the CEFC. Around 9,000 hectares may become pine plantations. Coalition leaders argue taxpayer-backed carbon investment could displace farming, weaken food security and inflate land prices. However, project proponents describe the land as marginal and say the project will combine commercial forestry, conservation, ecological restoration and sustainable grazing, while producing timber, jobs and Australian Carbon Credit Units. The proposal remains an opposition legislative initiative, not government policy.

ClimeCo, Marsoft Issue Shipping Carbon Credits

welhunt.it — Wed, 26 Aug 2026 09:23:49 +0000

ClimeCo and Marsoft have completed the first issuance of Gold Standard carbon credits under the GreenScreen shipping decarbonisation project. The credits, available for immediate delivery, represent verified emissions reductions from energy-efficiency retrofits on vessels. More than 350 ships are enrolled, using upgrades that reduce fuel consumption and associated carbon dioxide emissions without requiring fleet replacement. The methodology was developed with the MIT Sea Grant Design Laboratory, while ClimeCo supports project registration, issuance and market access. Revenue from credit sales is intended to help shipowners finance additional retrofits while lower-carbon fuels and propulsion technologies remain commercially limited. GreenScreen therefore links voluntary carbon finance with near-term operational reductions in international shipping, a sector responsible for approximately 3% of global greenhouse gas emissions.
