Carbon credit price forecasts

Carbon credit price forecasts are influenced by several factors, making precise predictions challenging. However, the following provides an outlook on potential price trends in the coming years, based on key factors:

Key Factors Influencing Carbon Credit Prices:

  1. Strengthening Policies and Regulations: As governments worldwide set stricter carbon-neutral goals and emission reduction regulations, the demand for carbon credits will increase, potentially driving prices up. In regions like the EU and North America, stronger carbon reduction targets between 2025 and 2030 could result in higher prices.
  2. Supply and Demand Balance: The supply of carbon credits, especially from renewable energy and forest restoration projects, and the demand from companies and governments working to meet carbon reduction targets, are critical factors. If demand outstrips supply, prices will rise, while oversupply could suppress prices.

Forecasts for 2024-2030:

  • 2024: Currently, carbon credit prices vary by region, but they are expected to range between $50 to $150 per ton of CO2e (tCO2e).
  • 2025: In the European Emissions Trading System (EU ETS), prices could rise due to stricter regulations, with forecasts ranging from $150 to $200/tCO2e.
  • 2030: Many countries aim to achieve carbon neutrality by 2030, which could push carbon credit prices to $200 to $300/tCO2e.

Summary of Forecasts:

  • 2024: $50 to $150/tCO2e
  • 2025: $150 to $200/tCO2e
  • 2030: $200 to $300/tCO2e

These price forecasts are highly dependent on international climate policies and market conditions, so there is potential for significant fluctuations based on evolving circumstances.
