Onboarding guide – DNV has published a recommended practice for onboard carbon capture and storage (OCCS), establishing a standardised framework for measuring and verifying the performance of systems installed on ships, Marine Link reported Monday. The guidance comes as the International Maritime Organization is developing OCCS rules, expected by 2028. DNV said OCCS could offer a decarbonisation pathway for much of the existing global fleet, estimating that CO2 offloading infrastructure at 20 major ports could reduce total world fleet emissions by 9%.

CORSIA futures sank to fresh two-year lows last week, with benchmark contracts slipping further below $10/tonne as uncertain sentiment over demand continued, while there were some positive signals in terms of retirements in the wider voluntary carbon market (VCM) amid an ongoing refocusing on quality.

The British government has published detailed guidance for shipping companies on complying with the maritime expansion of the UK ETS, setting out monitoring, reporting, and allowance surrender requirements ahead of the sector's entry into the carbon market from July 1.

A UN agency outpost in Djibouti has joined a compliance carbon pricing initiative active in several African countries, as an observer and strategic advisor.

Tanzania has filed its Initial Report under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement, a step that will enable the country to take part in international carbon markets and set the stage for CORSIA‑eligible credits from clean cooking projects, a cookstove developer announced on Monday.

If governments are willing to suspend tax rules to host a football tournament, they should consider doing the same for verified carbon and recycling credits to unlock the private capital needed for climate action.

A public battle between a Singapore-based exchange that also trades in carbon credits and an activist short seller has escalated into a dispute over market integrity and governance, drawing scrutiny to Asia's leading commodity and carbon trading hubs.

Green finance vs red tape – The EU’s efforts to channel private capital into climate action risk stalling unless Brussels better aligns its sprawling sustainable finance rulebook with actual market practice, a new Bruegel policy brief warns. The paper finds the EU’s “double materiality” model and taxonomy-centric approach have left Europe out of step with investor-led standards developed by the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) and the International Capital Markets Association (ICMA), which dominate global green bond markets. Even the EU’s own €80-billion-plus NextGenerationEU green bond programme relies on ICMA principles rather than the bloc’s new European Green Bond Standard, underscoring market scepticism about Brussels’ more prescriptive rulebook, the brief warns, calling for a more market-driven, globally compatible framework.

Extending the EU’s carbon market to cover all flights departing the European Economic Area (EEA) would have only a marginal impact on airfares and passenger demand, while generating billions of euros annually for climate action, according to a new study commissioned by Carbon Market Watch (CMW).
