The Voluntary Carbon Market (VCM) is often described as a highly opaque market, in which the same offset can generate vastly different prices between different retailers. When price quotes are wildly variable for similar projects, buyers are more likely to view the market as immature and question its place as a steppingstone in the global environmental transition, thus potentially stunting market growth. If the VCM is to take a more central role in climate mitigation strategy, trust needs to be built in the market.

This is where the CaliforniaCarbon.info Voluntary Offset Price Window (VOPW) and this Buyer’s Guide for Voluntary Offsets comes in to redress this balance in providing insight and transparency into this challenging and complex marketplace.
