Quality and Price Trends in the VCM

Projects in the carbon sectors are evaluated against many different quality and integrity metrics. However, the varying standards can make it challenging for companies to find “quality” in the market, as each metric brings its own criteria and definition of quality.

This is where AlliedOffsets’ new Normalized Quality Score tool attempts to bring clarity to buyers in the market. The score provides a normalized score to each project, using twelve different VCM quality metrics, weighted by the preference of users.

In this report we provide you with an overview around what quality metrics are available in the market, and the latest price versus quality trends we’ve identified using this new tool!
