Combination Project to Dominate Carbon Credit Market for Agriculture, Forestry, and Land Use (by Application)
The global carbon credit market for agriculture, forestry, and land use is shifting toward projects that combine both carbon removal and emissions reduction activities. These combination projects are becoming the leading segment, driven by increasing buyer interest and a premium for credits that offer durable carbon removals over simple emissions reductions.
Buyers are showing a preference for credits that represent a combination of removal and avoidance activities. These projects, including activities such as improved forest management (IFM), REDD+, and sustainable agricultural land management, provide a dual benefit of reducing future emissions and removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. This dual benefit makes them highly attractive to buyers in the carbon credit market for agriculture, forestry, and land use.
The market also favors projects that offer removals of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, such as through nature-based solutions such as afforestation/reforestation/revegetation and agro-forestry, as well as industrial carbon removal and biochar production. These removal credits command a premium price, indicating strong demand for projects focused on carbon removal.
The combination project segment, which represents projects that combine both removal and avoidance activities, is expected to drive growth in the global carbon credit market for agriculture, forestry, and land use. Businesses and organizations looking to invest in carbon credit projects should consider the value proposition offered by these combination projects, as they provide a comprehensive approach to carbon mitigation and offer a significant premium in the market.
Forestry and Land Use to be Dominant in Carbon Credit Market for Agriculture, Forestry, and Land Use (by Project Type)
The forestry and land use segment has become the leading segment in the global carbon credit market for agriculture, forestry, and land use. This segment plays a critical role in mitigating climate change, providing governments worldwide with a crucial tool to align climate ambitions with policy actions. Efforts are ongoing to enhance the credibility and transparency of this segment, including the development of quality standards and assessment frameworks. These initiatives are vital for building trust and ensuring high integrity across the carbon market.
The increasing convergence between compliance and voluntary carbon markets is a significant trend. It is driven by jurisdictional regulations and tax incentives. Countries such as Singapore have set eligibility criteria for carbon credits used to offset carbon taxes, following similar initiatives in Colombia, Chile, and South Africa. This trend is expected to drive demand in the voluntary carbon market (VCM), especially with the European Union's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) set to take effect in 2026. The CBAM will increase carbon prices in non-EU markets, encouraging the use of carbon credits. As a result, the dominance of the forestry and land use segment reflects its crucial role in achieving global climate goals. As efforts continue to enhance and expand these projects, they are poised to remain a cornerstone of the carbon credit market for agriculture, forestry, and land use.
