The Company is hosting a virtual debate on the Green Economy on Thursday, 11 November 2021. The research’s scope and conclusions will be a component part of this debate. This report can be downloaded at: https://sabien.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Carbon-Market-Report.pdf Authored by graduate students from Warwick, Shanghai Jiao Tong and Toronto Universities, the research compares the mechanics of the regulatory and voluntary carbon markets (respectively RCM and VCM), in the context of Emission Trading Schemes (ETS). Specifically, it assesses the path which carbon offset markets could take as the acceptance of blockchain technology improves. The report concludes that the VCM could grow from a base of US$282m in 2019 to US$50bn by 2030 (source: Mckinsey Consulting). In large part, this growth is based on the rapid acceleration of net-zero commitments from corporations and the concomitant ambitions of Governmental agencies such as the UK Taskforce on Scaling Voluntary Carbon Markets, headed by Mark Carney, recently Governor of the Bank of England and a key contributor to COP26.
