Cross border carbon - More than 100 ranchers and landowners from northeastern Mexico and Texas met at Hacienda Yturria Ranch to discuss high-integrity carbon credit development through agricultural land management organised by Earth Carbon, Mexico Business News reported. The binational seminar covered Mexican states Tamaulipas, Nuevo Leon, and Coahuila, with presentations on measurement, reporting and verification systems from experts including Jim Blackburn of BCarbon and James Clement of Earth Optics. Mexico has more than 300 carbon credit projects operational or under development, said Marco Hernandez, CEO of carbon project developer Carbonof, adding the country's infrastructure and skilled workforce allow projects to meet US and European quality standards at competitive costs.

Carbon removal (CDR) supply risks stalling as buyer hesitation leaves the voluntary carbon market (VCM) at a critical inflection point, according to a new assessment by a US-based carbon management firm.

Browser neutral – The Canada-based browser developer Shift announced Tuesday that it offset 599 tonnes of CO2e generated by its community between July-Dec. 2025 via the launch of its in-browser Carbon Meter.

The company added that it has tracked its Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions since 2023 and worked with Carbonzero to offset corporate emissions in 2023 and 2024.

Voluntary carbon market participants have heralded the EU as the first mover in creating a comprehensive, government-backed standard for certifying durable removals, but many still question where demand-side scale will come from and caution that ensuring a robust, high-integrity system still rests on fine-tuning the crediting framework.

An American forest carbon project developer announced Tuesday that it had secured verification for its improved forest management (IFM) project with a major certification body.

Co-applying enhanced rock weathering (ERW) and biochar can increase carbon removal (CDR) by improving soil chemical conditions, a new study has found, though short-term CO2 losses from increased microbial activity may temporarily outweigh inorganic carbon gains.

World Wide Fund for Nature Malaysia (WWF-Malaysia) and a local plantation company have launched a pilot regenerative palm oil project in Sabah, aiming to test farming practices that could cut emissions, restore biodiversity, and improve soil health across one of the country’s key agricultural regions.
