The ICVCM released its first batch of credit quality labels. But our research found that some low-quality projects have slipped through, raising doubts about a system that was supposed to make offsets more trustworthy.

Sign up for our July 9 webinar on carbon offsets with Journalist's Resource. This will be useful stuff both for climate reporters and folks covering other overlapping beats, like local politics, business, or land management.

We think fires are going to have long-term impacts on the solvency of California’s offset program, in particular. That’s why we’re tracking fires like the ones in New Mexico with our fires and forest offsets tool. carbonplan.org/research/for...

Wildfires have burned a major offset project in southern New Mexico. Evidence suggests that many offset programs haven’t properly accounted for the increased risks wildfires pose in a warmer world. This latest burn is just one part of that bigger picture. carbonplan.org/blog/mescale...

Rimba Raya is an offset project so big that its possible failure could threaten global carbon markets. Here's how a political threat to one project in Indonesia is illustrating the precarity of the system as a whole. carbonplan.org/blog/rimba-r...

California's cap and trade program depends on forest offsets, but the forests are burning. The program’s carbon insurance program suffered losses for the second quarter in a row.
And there’s more big losses that haven’t been officially counted yet. carbonplan.org/blog/carb-bu...

Great to see the @carbonplan.org CDR Verification Framework updated to include five different biomass-based pathways: biomaterial injection, biomass burial, biomass sinking, biochar applied to soils, and bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS). carbonplan.org/blog/vcl-upd...

We've updated our CDR Verification Framework to include five biomass-based CDR pathways. We hope this tool is a useful starting point for understanding biomass-based carbon removal and thinking about the associated uncertainties.

Enhanced rock weathering is a carbon removal technique gaining lots of attention, but we’re still figuring out best ways to do it. In collab with @climatejesper.bsky.social, we synthesized scientific results to explain what we know, and grapple with what we don’t. carbonplan.org/research/enh...

"transparency, honesty, humility, skepticism and collaboration" should be principles for any kind of climate research. For geoengineering research, they are doubly important.

Spraying particles into the atmosphere to block the sun was once taboo among scientists. But that’s changing fast. Our Jeremy Freeman wrote about why transparency, accountability, and public oversight are crucial in a world where geoengineering is more than sci-fi. www.nytimes.com/2024/03/17/o...

Why is a car company selling carbon credits? Last year, a prototype of OffsetsDB helped @technologyreview.com reveal Rivian’s plan to own (and sell) offsets produced when its customers charge their cars. Now you can use it too.

OffsetsDB makes it easier to learn about carbon offsets, where they come from, and who profits. Get the most out of this powerful new tool by reading our Explainer, which breaks down how we built OffsetsDB and what you can do with it.

Carbon credits are everywhere, but the data about where they come is hard to track down and difficult to work with.
OffsetsDB is a new database that collects, standardizes, and provides daily updates of offset project data from five of the largest registries.

The forests backing carbon credits are literally burning. And this kind of catastrophic loss could spell doom for offset programs, like the one in California.

Set a goal for myself to donate 1% of my monthly income to housing/climate causes. Currently supporting:
- @streetsforall.bsky.social making LA streets less car centric
- @cleanaircatf - supporting neglected low carbon tech
- @carbonplan.bsky.social - holding climate projects accountable

Big data sets can make climate science slow. We’ve demonstrated a way to speed it up, using an open source library called Kerchunk.

We do a LOT of mapping here at CarbonPlan. Now, we've come up with a way to make our open source map tools more flexible for others to use.

Corn ethanol carbon capture and storage projects are being marketed as carbon removal. The problem is, they’re not. But it's easy to be fooled if your accounting time frame is too narrow. carbonplan.org/research/eth...
