What industry leaders prioritise in carbon
Last week Carbon Asset Solutions attended the Singapore Carbon Market and Investor Forum. This conference brought together the entire carbon market ecosystem, from legislator and regulator to standard-setter and project developer. With our fully digital carbon credit system and holistic soil measurement technology, of which soil carbon is a fundamental building block, we were keen to hear what the world is looking at. Here is what industry leaders prioritise in carbon.
Trust
Building Trust at ScaleThe foundation? High-trust, interconnected markets with end-to-end integrity frameworks. Without trust, we won’t unlock the trillions needed for climate action.
Science
Science Meets ScalabilityIt’s time to move beyond pilot projects. We need science-based tools that prioritize methodologies that are both feasible AND scalable. Not everything that works in theory works in practice.
Harmonisation
The Harmonization ChallengeHere’s the tension: we need domestic standards that work for local contexts while aligning with global principles. It’s complex, but necessary for cross-border transactions.
Accountability
Corporate Accountability Under Article 6As countries implement Article 6, we must ensure corporate accounting frameworks are fit for purpose. This isn’t just about compliance—it’s about making credible climate action accessible.
Beyond Removals
A critical insight: our NDCs are currently aligned only with removals, but we need BOTH reduction and removal credits working together. One without the other won’t get us to net zero.
Engaging the Missing Middle
SMEs represent a massive opportunity. We need to make carbon strategies accessible and actionable for small and medium enterprises, not just corporates.
The path forward requires collaboration across borders, sectors, and market types. The infrastructure is being built—now it’s about making it work for everyone.
Are we moving fast enough on market harmonization?
That in a nutshell, is what industry leaders prioritise in carbon. Find out how our priorities align.
