High-integrity carbon credits are now sold at an average 65% price premium
New data suggests growing alignment between market pricing and credit quality.
Voluntary carbon credits considered ‘high integrity’ are now sold at an average 65% price premium compared to low-quality credits, according to market data from the first half of 2025.
The data, shared by carbon market analysis firms Calyx Global and ClearBlue Markets, suggests “a promising direction for the market” as integrity initiatives and labelling such as the Core Carbon Principles (CCP) begin to bear fruit.
