What is the price of a carbon credit?

The range of carbon credit prices is quite broad, but we typically see most projects fall between 10 and 100€ per ton. Carbon credit prices can vary based on several factors, including:

• The project's financial needs, which depend on its business model and complexity
• The project's location
• The project's vintage
• The project's co-benefits
• The cost of project certification

Based on our analysis, here is a subjective classification of carbon credit prices:

• Renewable energy and non-deforestation projects in Annex B countries: 5-10€
• Reforestation projects in Annex B countries: 15€
• Reforestation projects in Europe: 20-25€
• Industrial avoidance in Europe: 30-40€
• Biobased construction storage in Europe: 50€
• Biochar projects in Europe: 100-150€
• Long-term storage innovative projects (e.g. DAC): 500€
