Data Sources
Purchases, deliveries, and verifications are sourced from private partnerships with market participants and the following public data sources:
Purchasers
- Various press releases from buyers announcing their purchases
Community
Durability Estimates
Metrics
- Sales: Can be both offtake agreements where no money changes hands today, prepurchases where all or parts of payment happens now, or sale of ex-post credits. This number includes purchases where volume or price is known. If only price is known, then the average’s price per method is used to determine volume.
- Deliveries: the removal and storage of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Mostly reported on registries. Deliveries do not neccessarily mean that the credit attached to the ton has been retired.
- Availability: the percentage of tons that have been delivered / total tons that have been sold
- Price: the average known selling price of a ton of CDR across all methods
- Total Transactions: the estimated size of the CDR market. This is computed as (sum of announced purchase price) + (tons w/o purchase price * avg price per method)
- Price x Method: the average selling price of a ton of CDR by method
Leaderboards
- Suppliers: ranked off of total tons delivered
- Purchaser: ranked off of total tons purchased
- Marketplaces: ranked off of total tons purchased
