ASEAN is poised to lead in global decarbonization, with its emerging carbon markets offering a transformative $3 trillion revenue potential by 2050. According to a new report by Abatable, the region could reduce or remove emissions equivalent to 1.1 gigatonnes of CO2 annually, while creating 13.7 million green jobs. The report highlights opportunities in REDD+ ($27B), blue carbon ($96B), and biochar markets ($144B), leveraging ASEAN’s natural resources like tropical forests and mangroves. However, regulatory uncertainties and market fragmentation remain significant hurdles. To unlock its carbon market potential, ASEAN must adopt clear regulations, build institutional capacity, align with international standards, and promote regional cooperation under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement. With targeted strategies, the region can turn emissions challenges into economic opportunities while fostering sustainability.

We are extremely thrilled to partner with Paklaunch (PL) to drive their Net Zero mission in making the upcoming Unconference 24.2 completely carbon-free by retiring Carbon Credits originated from a high-integrity carbon removal project in Pakistan. Unconference 24.2 will be the first ever Pakistani origin event to not just offset its own emissions but also the travel related emissions of all its attendees traveling to Palo Alto, CA.

Frontier, a $1B+ Advance Market Committment funded by Stripe, Alphabet Inc., Shopify, Meta and McKinsey & Company, has released its template for carbon removal offtake agreements, to serve as a resource for other buyers, suppliers, and investors working in this space. Offtake agreements are an important tool in catalyzing novel technologies and getting high-impact carbon removal projects off the ground. As MENAP region’s first Climate Action Venture Studio, we are working closley with such tech giants on their Carbon Removal mandates to develop high-integrity carbon removal projects with our Corporate partners in Pakistan. We hope that making this template public will give carbon removal project developers an accelerated monetization pathway and a playbook to structure their commercial agreements, so they can spend less time debating and more time developing impactful projects.

Companies retired 34 MtCO2e of carbon credits during the second quarter of 2024, down 11% from the same period a year earlier, a drop driven largely by lower demand for renewable energy credits. Primax SA, Civitas Resources and Boeing topped the list of companies that retired the most carbon credits in the period. While retirements reflect demand for carbon credits today, they do not include today’s demand for credits in the future. Long-term forward agreements (or offtakes) for credits are becoming increasingly common among climate-active firms.
