Similar to the premium pricing seen in cookstove projects under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement, CCP-labelled credits are expected to command a significant premium. This adjustment aims to prevent double counting in international transfers, enhancing transparency.
Market analysts are optimistic about the premium potential for CCP-labelled credits. Currently, voluntary REDD+ credits average $11.21 per metric tonne, while biochar credits have reached prices between $134 and $145.
