Gold Standard Launches Methodology To Replace Fossil Fuel Generators
Gold Standard has launched a new methodology to generate carbon credits from replacing fossil fuel-based generators, such as diesel units, with cleaner energy solutions. The initiative is developed in collaboration with Sustainable Energy for All (SEforALL) and is aligned with the Joined-up Sustainable Transition (JUST) framework. It targets off-grid and emerging market contexts, enabling projects that improve energy access while reducing emissions. The methodology introduces standardized rules for quantifying and verifying emission reductions, expanding eligible project categories and supporting the scaling of energy transition activities within the carbon market.

Switzerland and Malawi Authorise the First Article 6.2 Activity – Malawi Dairy Biogas
A dairy biogas carbon project in Malawi has received host country authorisation under Article 6.2 of the Paris Agreement, marking the first authorisation of its kind under the bilateral climate agreement between Malawi and Switzerland. Developed in partnership with Sistema.bio, EcoGen, ACT Group, and the KliK Foundation, the programme captures methane emissions from dairy farming and converts them into biogas, supporting both emissions reduction and rural energy access. With authorisation in place, the project is expected to generate internationally transferable carbon credits, subject to corresponding adjustments to prevent double counting. The development highlights growing momentum in bilateral carbon market cooperation and the emergence of agriculture-based mitigation projects within Article 6.2 frameworks.

The Sabah Rainforest Rehabilitation Project In Malaysia Is Now Issuing High-Quality Credits
The Sabah Forest Rehabilitation Project in Malaysia has begun issuing high-quality carbon credits, marking a new supply of nature-based removals from Southeast Asia. The project emphasizes biodiversity protection, long-term forest restoration, and community engagement, positioning its credits in the premium segment of the market. This development reflects the continued importance of high-integrity nature-based solutions, even as attention grows around engineered carbon removal. It also highlights Southeast Asia’s increasing role as a key source of scalable, high-quality carbon credits in the global voluntary carbon market.

BURN Secures Nigeria’s Authorization To Sell Carbon Credits To CORSIA
BURN has secured host country authorization from Nigeria to supply carbon credits to the CORSIA market, marking a key step in transforming project-based supply into compliance-eligible credits. The approval enables the transfer of clean cooking credits with corresponding adjustments, ensuring eligibility for international use. According to BURN, this is the first authorization of its kind in Nigeria, signaling the country’s intent to engage more actively in global carbon markets and attract climate finance. The development highlights the growing role of sovereign authorization in shaping carbon supply.

Bhutan, Singapore launch four new climate projects
Bhutan and Singapore have launched four new climate projects as part of their bilateral cooperation under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement. The initiative reflects a growing trend of cross-border carbon partnerships, where developing countries provide mitigation opportunities while more developed economies support financing and demand. These projects are expected to generate tradable carbon credits, potentially in the form of ITMOs. The development highlights Singapore’s strategy to secure carbon supply and reinforces the increasing role of bilateral agreements in shaping the emerging international carbon market.

Valor Carbon, Valitera Sign MoU With Kyrgyzstan’s Climate Finance Center To Advance Carbon Market
Valor Carbon and Valitera have signed agreements with the Kyrgyzstan government to develop carbon projects and support the country’s entry into international carbon markets. The collaboration reflects a growing trend of public–private partnerships in building sovereign carbon supply, potentially aligned with Article 6 frameworks. By combining project development, trading expertise, and government authorization, the initiative aims to establish a structured carbon market pipeline. It also highlights the emergence of Central Asia as a new frontier for carbon credit supply, alongside increasing involvement of traders in shaping upstream market development.

Boomitra Issues An Eyecatching 3.03M Credits From The Largest Verra-Approved Soil Carbon Project To Date
Boomitra’s Northern Mexico Grassland Restoration Project became the first in North America certified under Verra’s VM0042 methodology and the world’s largest soil‑based CDR project. It issued 3.03 million soil carbon credits based on over 3 million tonnes of CO₂e removed through regenerative grazing across 4 million acres. Working with 158 ranchers, the project returns at least 75% of carbon revenue to local communities and demonstrates that soil‑based CDR can scale rapidly with high integrity.

KOKO’s collapse: Corresponding Adjustments, CORSIA and wider implications
KOKO Networks, a leading cookstove project developer with over 1 million customers in Kenya, collapsed after years of waiting for a letter of authorization (LoA) from the Kenyan government. Despite Kenya’s pro-market stance and a World Bank MIGA guarantee, the LoA never materialized, leaving 15 million carbon credits in limbo. This failure highlights significant risks for carbon project developers relying on government authorization and threatens CORSIA’s credit supply ahead of crucial 2027-2028 compliance deadlines.

Guyana secures new milestone as ART issues over 9 million CORSIA-eligible carbon credits for 2023
Guyana has once again cemented its place at the forefront of global climate action, with the Government announcing the issuance of 9,085,923 high-integrity TREES carbon credits for the year 2023 by the Architecture for REDD+ Transactions (ART). Notably, the credits have been labelled CORSIA-Eligible. This marks the third consecutive year since 2021 that Guyana has secured ART TREES issuances.

Kenya’s Koko shuts down after carbon credit dispute with government
Kenya’s clean cooking startup Koko Networks shut down operations and laid off its entire 700-person workforce after the government rejected a Letter of Authorisation (LOA) needed to sell carbon credits internationally, which funded its subsidized biofuel sales to 1.5 million low-income households. The model sold bioethanol at KES 100/liter (vs. KES 200 market price) and stoves at KES 1,500 (vs. KES 15,000), relying on credit revenue despite $100M+ funding from investors like Microsoft Climate Innovation Fund and a $180M World Bank guarantee. The closure threatens reversion to polluting charcoal/kerosene, reversing deforestation gains, with Koko potentially filing a World Bank insurance claim alleging government breach.
