Problem
The voluntary carbon market suffers from a lack of transparency and standardization, hindering efficient price discovery and risk management. Existing data is often fragmented, proprietary, and lacks the granularity needed to accurately assess the quality and performance of carbon credits. This opacity undermines trust and limits participation from both buyers and sellers.
Solution
Centigrade provides an open data platform designed to bring transparency and integrity to the voluntary carbon market. The platform standardizes and validates data related to carbon projects, making it easier for market participants to evaluate and compare carbon credits. By offering a comprehensive and accessible data utility, Centigrade enables better price discovery, facilitates due diligence, and supports risk management. The platform aggregates data from various sources, including project developers, service providers, and registries, to create a single source of truth for carbon credit information.
Target Audience
Centigrade targets project developers, service providers (such as digital MRVs, VVBs, assurers, raters, and insurers), carbon credit buyers, exchanges, and other stakeholders in the voluntary carbon market.
