by Rhiannon Branch (Brownfield Ag News) Interest and growth in carbon market programs is booming. A recent
ecosystem markets webinar hosted by the Illinois Sustainable Ag Partnership had more than 1600 participants registered with more than 600 questions submitted ahead of time.
Speaker Kari Hernandez, Global Head of Carbon Operations and Offer Marketing with
Indigo Ag says demand for high quality carbon credits is on the rise and demand is slow to catch up.
“With over 30% of Fortune500 companies making climate neutrality commitments, more and more are going to be looking for carbon offsets to be a part of their plan to get there. The Boston Consulting Group is already stating publicly that they expect to be paying $35 per credit in a few more years and as much as $80 per credit by the end of the decade.”
