World Bank approves US$200m for Thailand solar, efficiency and carbon markets
The World Bank Group approved the US$200 million Low Carbon Cities and Carbon Market Development Project to help Thailand scale public-sector investments in renewable energy, energy efficiency and carbon-market infrastructure. Private energy service companies will finance and implement upgrades, while participating agencies repay costs through energy savings. EXIM Bank will finance qualified service companies, initially supporting cooperation with the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration and the Industrial Estate Authority of Thailand. Krungthai Bank will aggregate carbon credits from smaller projects and connect them to carbon markets. The project will install rooftop solar and improve energy efficiency in public buildings, industrial estates, schools, healthcare facilities, district offices and streetlighting. Its targets include up to 180 MW of renewable-energy capacity, annual electricity savings of approximately 448 GWh and at least 1,800 job-years.

Hong Kong makes a push to integrate global carbon markets
Hong Kong hosted the International Emissions Trading Association’s Asia Climate Summit from July 7 to 9, where a new platform intended to connect global carbon markets and climate finance pathways was announced. CGS International and Verdana HK signed an agreement with the Global Carbon Council to develop the Hong Kong Carbon Register and Services Body, a carbon registry and independent carbon finance facilitation platform aligned with Article 6 of the Paris Agreement and intended particularly to facilitate Chinese investment. The initiative supports Hong Kong’s ambition to become a major green and climate finance hub. As carbon-pricing mechanisms expand worldwide, the article argues that harmonising laws is the next step towards a global carbon market. Hong Kong’s platform could potentially link carbon trading systems in China, Vietnam, Indonesia and Singapore with the EU ETS and, eventually, markets in the Americas, including the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative in the north-eastern United States.

Indonesia launches international-standard carbon registry to strengthen national carbon market
Indonesia has launched its national Carbon Unit Registry System (SRUK), an international-standard digital platform designed to track carbon units throughout their lifecycle and strengthen market integrity, transparency and credibility. The system aims to prevent double counting and fraud while ensuring emissions reductions are measured, independently verified and recorded. Backed by Environment Ministry Regulation No. 10/2026, SRUK will connect carbon economic instruments and stakeholders and is designed to interoperate with IDX Carbon and international registries. Built using Climate Data Steering Committee standards, the platform has received international recognition for its transparency, accountability and data quality. It will initially support 49 SPEI projects across energy, waste, forestry and agriculture, which are expected to reduce emissions by approximately 5.85 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalent annually.

First underwriter of political risk insurance enters the CORSIA market
Gold Standard has approved the Sovereign Corresponding Adjustment Revocation & Enforced Withdrawal policy offered by Blenheim Partnerships Limited for projects seeking CORSIA eligibility. It is the fifth approved insurance policy and marks the entry of the first traditional political risk insurer into the CORSIA market. Following an independent assessment by Howden, the policy was found consistent with Gold Standard’s insurance criteria. Its approval is expected to expand insurance capacity for project developers at a time when eligible credit supply remains below projected demand for CORSIA’s First Phase. Since private policies were first approved in October 2025, three developers have used insurance to secure CORSIA First Phase labels for credits from projects in Rwanda and Tanzania. Gold Standard recognises such policies to strengthen guarantees against double claiming, particularly risks associated with corresponding adjustments. The organisation is also reviewing its insurance assessment process, with results expected before annual reassessments begin in autumn 2026.

Vietnam officially launches first carbon trading exchange
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 Official EU CRCF Buyers’ Club Website Is Now Live
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.

Group to make Nigeria’s clean cooking campaign national priority
Nigeria’s International Centre for Energy, Environment and Development (ICEED) is seeking to elevate clean cooking as a national priority to attract climate finance and carbon market investment. During a stakeholder workshop in Abuja, ICEED highlighted the need for a stronger Measurement, Reporting and Verification (MRV) framework to support clean cooking projects, carbon credit issuance, and investor confidence. The initiative aims to unlock carbon finance and accelerate the deployment of clean cookstoves in line with Nigeria’s NDC commitments. Experts also emphasized the importance of digital MRV systems, unified data infrastructure, and automated verification processes. According to workshop participants, digital MRV could improve verification efficiency by up to 70% and strengthen the integrity and scalability of Nigeria’s emerging carbon market.

EP Carbon’s New Platform Seeks To Build Quality Into Forest Projects From The Start
EP Carbon has launched Drawn Carbon, a new digital platform designed to help early-stage forest carbon projects demonstrate quality and attract financing before carbon credits are issued. The platform supports ARR and REDD+ developers by digitizing project design, structuring implementation processes, and enabling real-time measurement. A key feature is direct integration with carbon rating agencies BeZero Carbon, Calyx Global, and Sylvera, allowing developers to identify and address integrity risks during the design stage rather than after issuance. EP Carbon said the platform aims to improve transparency, accountability, and investment readiness across nature-based carbon projects. The initiative reflects growing market demand for higher-quality carbon credits amid increasing scrutiny from buyers and regulators.
