The below script allows one to quickly understand how much value carbon projects generate in each country, compared to the national GDP per capita. Simple visualizations help to make the ratio more intuitive and immediate. The script builds on two of the main AlliedOffsets’s database tables: project-level information and our industry-leading and proprietary pricing estimates for each credit transaction. The script is written to easily allow you to select a sub-set of countries that you might be interested in, and offers you additional sources that you can consult for GDP information.

These metrics depict the proportion of retired carbon credits in each country, providing a lens into their contribution to the VCM.

Colombia has had a 43% share in retired credits over the years 2019 to 2023 — higher than any other country in the region, spurred by the country’s regulatory offset scheme.

What project developers have retired the most credits in Asia? and who has had the biggest market share over the last five years?

With AlliedOffsets data you can quickly identify who has retired the most credits and what project developers have the biggest market share in any specific region and year.

AlliedOffsets data can be used and modelled in thousands of different ways to help you find exactly the data you are looking for.

Some of our clients are using our data to compare how the average price per retired credit has changed in the last few years, and how it compares to other countries in the same region.

As an example, we’ve put together an graph of average prices per retired credit comparing Rwanda, Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania in the last five years.

As we can see in the graph, there have been big price differences over the years, and between the countries – with an average of $6.69 in Tanzania and $8.21 in Rwanda between 2019 and 2023.
