An AOF event on Carbon Pricing
As many of you know, price transparency remains a significant challenge in the carbon credit market.
Reliable price information is often difficult to obtain unless you pay for it from one of the commercial data providers or have developed an extensive network of buyers, brokers and other intermediaries, something that can be difficult unless you have credits to offer the market, whether on a spot or ex-ante basis.
Peter Fegelman was previously Head of Carbon Market Analytics at one of these commercial sources, MSCI Carbon Markets, where they collected data from a wide range of market participants, particularly project developers, to provide visibility on market pricing, liquidity, and transaction structures to our subscribers.
As an AOF Mycelium member, he is offering to create something similar within the AOF community on a collaborative basis.
The basic idea would be for community members to contribute indicative and/or actual transaction data for spot, offtake and prepurchase prices on a recurring basis. The data could then be organised into a structured database available to all AOF members. If participation were sufficient over time, it might even be possible to develop price indices that could serve as useful benchmarks for market analysis, price comparisons, and potentially even contract pricing mechanisms.
