## Resource

Episode 51 of Climate Economics with Fexingo. Carbon credits used to be bespoke, opaque, traded one-off. That's changing. Lucas and Luna break down how the market is standardizing around two distinct tiers—compliance-grade removal credits and voluntary offset credits—and why this shift matters for anyone buying or selling carbon. They walk through the specific contract structures that emerged in early 2026, the role of exchanges like CME and ICE, and the spread between removal credits (trading above $50 per tonne) and avoidance credits (below $10). The episode also covers how this commoditization is spilling into futures markets and what it means for corporate net-zero claims. No industry jargon. Just the real mechanics of a market that quietly doubled in volume over the last twelve months. #CarbonCredits #Commoditization #VoluntaryCarbonMarket #RemovalCredits #AvoidanceCredits #Futures #CME #ICE #NetZero #CarbonPricing #Verra #GoldStandard #Stacking #Vintage #CORSIA #EmissionReductions #ClimateFinance #CarbonMarkets Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
