Engineering Basis

  • Late-2024 spot prices: CARB ~$35, RGGI ~$18, EU ETS ~€70 (~$75 USD), voluntary $4-25 by quality.
  • CCP (ICVCM Core Carbon Principles, 2023): high-quality voluntary credits trade ~30% premium.
  • Vintage discount: 1%/yr for non-current vintages (floor 50% of base).
  • Project type filters market eligibility — RGGI only takes electricity-sector emissions, etc.
  • 45Q US (post-IRA): $85/t saline, $60/t EOR, $180/t DAC.
  • Standards: ICVCM CCP, VCMI Claims Code, CARB, RGGI, EU ETS, IRS 45Q.
