WHY IT MATTERS
Integrity Is What Determines Carbon Value
In voluntary carbon markets, carbon credits are not priced equally.
They are valued based on credibility, auditability, and perceived risk.
Forest-linked carbon credits are often discounted, not because forests lack value, but because uncertainty in data and monitoring increases integrity risk.
Where uncertainty is replaced by verifiable data, confidence follows.
Integrity builds trust. Trust sustains climate action.
Carbon Markets Price Risk
Buyers discount credits where:
-
Data is based on sampling and extrapolation
-
Monitoring is infrequent
-
Long-term verification is difficult
Credits supported by robust, continuous Digital Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (DMRV) are recognized as lower-risk assets and command higher value.
Why DMRV Changes Outcomes
Integrity-first DMRV enables:
-
Ground-verifiable data capture
-
Spatially anchored forest records
-
Repeatable monitoring over time
-
Audit-ready datasets
This shifts forest carbon data from estimates to evidence, reducing integrity risk.
The Result: Higher Value Realisation
As integrity risk declines, market behaviour changes.
​
Across voluntary markets, forest carbon credits supported by strong DMRV frameworks have been observed to achieve significantly higher value realisation compared to conventional forest carbon credits, depending on project type, buyer profile, and market conditions.

This is not a technology premium, it is risk-adjusted pricing.
