Future reductions hinge on growth in EVs, renewable diesel, and clean energy infrastructure. Projections show steady annual declines, with challenges in sustaining regulatory momentum. The report dives deep into the drivers influencing the performance and decarbonization potential of each sector.

Enhanced Rock Weathering (ERW) and Mineralization have recently carved a niche for themselves in the engineered carbon removal (CDR) space, with notable co-benefits for soil health and crop productivity. The sector is developing science and processes and has seen the filing of 12 patents of which 2 have been granted. This Market Compass is a benchmark report on the state of the Enhanced Weathering and Mineralization sector empowering carbon market stakeholders, policymakers, and investors with credible & actionable intelligence.

ARR (Afforestation, Reforestation, and Revegetation) has long been a cornerstone of carbon offsetting efforts, focusing on the capture and storage of atmospheric carbon dioxide through natural processes. These projects not only contribute to mitigating climate change but also offer additional benefits, such as enhanced biodiversity, improved soil quality, and increased resilience of ecosystems. cCarbon estimates over 500 developers spread across the globe with concentration in Latin America, Africa and Asia. This Market Compass is a benchmark report on the state of the ARR sector empowering carbon market stakeholders, policymakers, and investors with credible & actionable intelligence.

Marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR) encompasses a suite of emerging strategies that harness the ocean's capacity to capture and store atmospheric CO₂. A diverse range of methodologies are under exploration—ranging from nature-based approaches like seaweed cultivation and ocean afforestation to technological interventions such as ocean alkalinity enhancement (OAE), electrochemical processes, and artificial upwelling. The developer ecosystem is still at an early stage, with most activity focused on laboratory studies, small pilot projects, and a handful of field trials concentrated in national coastal waters. The sector has seen the filing of 40 patents of which 13 have been granted, underscoring the growing role of technology and innovation in advancing the space. This Market Compass is a benchmark report on the state of the Marine Carbon Removal sector empowering carbon market stakeholders, policymakers, and investors with credible & actionable intelligence.

The data is clear: over $9.8 billion has poured into carbon dioxide removal (CDR), yet the market has only produced 12 million tons of annual removal capacity so far. That mismatch underlines the sector’s biggest challenge: capital efficiency. Whether you're an investor, policymaker, project developer, or curious observer, this report is essential reading. It’s time to move beyond the hype and face the hard numbers. This is the real state of the sector—and the future of carbon removal starts here.

Soil carbon removal (SCR) has gained increasing attention as a viable method for reducing atmospheric CO₂, offering ancillary benefits such as improved soil health and enhanced agricultural productivity. This Market Compass is a benchmark report on the state of the Soil Carbon Removal sector empowering carbon market stakeholders, policymakers, and investors with credible & actionable intelligence.

As of 2025, global Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) capacity is around 1.1 to 1.3 million metric tons of CO₂e annually, primarily from ethanol production, with growing contributions from power and heat generation. This Market Compass is a benchmark report on the state of the BECCS sector empowering carbon market stakeholders, policymakers, and investors with credible & actionable intelligence.

Biomass Carbon Removal and Sequestration (BiCRS) commercial deployment is in its early‑stage. Only a handful of biochar and bio‑oil projects are operating, and approaches like biomass burial are still in pilot phases. This Market Compass is a benchmark report on the state of the BiCRS sector empowering carbon market stakeholders, policymakers, and investors with credible & actionable intelligence.

Direct Air Capture (DAC) remains in the early stages of deployment, with global capacity still below 0.1 MMTCO₂/year, but momentum is building. Over 140 developers are active globally, backed by increasing policy support and institutional investment. This Market Compass is a benchmark report on the state of the DAC sector empowering carbon market stakeholders, policymakers, and investors with credible & actionable intelligence.

This primer provides an in-depth overview of the Australia's Safeguard Mechanism, recent performance, list of the covered entities, and the recent policy changes that are going to reshape the system over the coming period.

This introductory market primer on the New Zealand Emission Trading System ( NZ ETS). Launched in 2008, NZ ETS is a central policy for climate change mitigation in the country. Governed by the Climate Change Response Act 2002, the scheme covers almost half of New Zealand’s GHG emissions. Sector wise, NZ ETS encompasses forestry, stationary energy, industrial processing, liquid fossil fuels, waste, and synthetic GHGs. The forestry sector has a distinct feature where it is obligated to surrender emissions along with an opportunity to earn New Zealand Units (NZUs) for emissions removal.
