## Resource

Episode 66 of Climate Economics with Fexingo dives into the rapidly evolving market for carbon removal credits, which are moving from niche offsets to a standardized commodity. Lucas and Luna explore the forces driving this shift, including new registry standards, corporate demand for high-durability credits, and the rise of futures contracts on exchanges like the CME. They focus on the recent launch of a voluntary carbon removal futures contract in May 2026 and what it means for pricing transparency and market liquidity. The hosts break down the difference between avoidance and removal credits, why removal credits command a premium, and how this new instrument could unlock investment in direct air capture and enhanced weathering startups. They also touch on the role of verifiers like Puro.earth and the challenges of standardization. The episode closes with a look at whether commoditization helps or hurts the integrity of carbon removal as a climate solution. #CarbonRemoval #CarbonCredits #CommodityMarkets #CME #FuturesContracts #ClimateFinance #DirectAirCapture #EnhancedWeathering #PuroEarth #VoluntaryCarbonMarket #CarbonPricing #NetZero #ClimateTech #Economics #Sustainability #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #CarbonMarkets Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
