The June 2026 white paper co-led by Yale University and The Nature Conservancy standardizes durability strategies in carbon markets. It shifts the industry from a binary view of permanence to a continuous spectrum for managing reversal risks.
Next-Generation Geothermal at Scale
Clean Air Task Force’s report series examines policy actions that United States state, federal and international decision-makers can use to accelerate deployment of next-generation geothermal energy at scale.
Achieving Systemic Bankability of Carbon Capture and Storage in Poland
Clean Air Task Force maps Poland’s pathway to large-scale CCS deployment, identifying regulatory certainty and revenue adequacy as key barriers and recommending carbon contracts for difference and a national CCS strategy.
EU ETS reform: carbon removals and Article 6 credits
Abatable analyses the European Commission’s proposed EU ETS overhaul, which would, for the first time, open the compliance market to permanent carbon removals from 2031 and international Article 6 credits from 2036.
How to structure your carbon portfolio under new net-zero standards
Abatable guides corporate buyers in designing carbon portfolios that balance decarbonisation, ongoing emissions responsibility, removals and remediation reserves while matching instruments to claims under emerging net-zero standards and procurement timelines.
Strengthening the EU Emissions Trading System
Clean Air Task Force sets out recommendations for the EU’s mid-2026 ETS review, urging cautious integration of permanent carbon removals, greater ambition on aviation and maritime emissions, and robust environmental safeguards.
Clean Energy 101: Advance Market Commitments Today Can Build a Low-Carbon Tomorrow
RMI explains how advance market commitments can aggregate buyer demand to signal market readiness, using low-carbon cement and concrete procurement as a case study for scaling clean energy solutions.
IETA’s Vision for the Post-2030 EU ETS
IETA outlines its position on preserving the EU ETS as Europe’s central climate instrument, calling for an integrated post-2030 review covering the cap, MSR, free allocation, removals and international credits.
Contracted Durability: A Framework for Performance-Based Carbon Removal
A new white paper from RMI, Beyond Alliance, the American Forest Foundation, and LongRun Climate introduces contracted durability: a set of legal and financial mechanisms that ensure a carbon dioxide removal credit keeps one tonne of CO₂ out of the atmosphere across the durability threshold it is required to meet.
Enabling conditions to unlock private sector demand in carbon markets: Policy considerations for host jurisdictions
Published by Beyond, Emergent and the Symbiosis Coalition, this briefing paper outlines nine policy enabling conditions host countries can set to unlock private sector demand in voluntary carbon markets, covering corresponding adjustment guidance, domestic governance and registries, benefit sharing, carbon rights/FPIC, and REDD+ nesting. It shows how clear, stable frameworks de-risk investment, reduce delays, and support high-integrity credit supply aligned with national climate and development priorities.
