Announcing the 2025 Durable CDR Pricing Survey — Understanding Pricing, Value, and Opportunities
The durable carbon removal market is evolving quickly, and transparent pricing insights have never been more critical. For the second year running, CDR.fyi and OPIS, a Dow Jones Company, are running the 2025 Durable CDR Pricing Survey to capture the real-world perspectives of buyers and suppliers on pricing expectations, value drivers, and structural barriers to market participation.
In late 2024, CDR.fyi partnered with OPIS to publish Bridging the Gap, our first durable CDR pricing survey, which became a widely used reference point for how market participants viewed pricing expectations and gaps. That work revealed meaningful differences between what purchasers were willing to pay and what suppliers needed to achieve profitable operations — a pivotal insight for buyers, sellers, and intermediaries navigating an early, rapidly growing market.

Today, durable CDR decisions increasingly involve procurement, finance, and risk functions. Verification and registry infrastructure are maturing, financing conditions are influencing project economics, and market participation remains uneven. The 2025 survey is designed to deepen understanding of three practical questions: what buyers actually value when evaluating durable CDR; which attributes are table stakes versus those suppliers can credibly charge a premium for; and what structural factors are blocking both buyers and suppliers from engaging more fully in the market.
If your role involves purchasing or supplying durable carbon removal credits — including procurement, finance, sustainability, or market negotiation — we strongly encourage you to take the relevant survey below. Respondents will receive a complimentary copy of the full report with aggregated market insights and exclusive access to a participant-only webinar to explore the findings.
The survey takes approximately 10–12 minutes to complete and includes short sections on pricing expectations, value attributes, contracting preferences, and market blockers. All responses will be kept strictly confidential and aggregated before publication. Summary results will be shared publicly.
