Voluntary Carbon Offsets Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Type (Forestry, Renewable Energy, Landfill Methane Projects, Others), By Application (Industrial, Household Device, Energy Industry, Agriculture, Others), By End-Use (Government, Non-Government, Private Sector, Others) And Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Voluntary carbon offsets are the recognized mechanism that contributes to reducing the amount of CO₂ in the atmosphere. It is measured in tons of greenhouse gases, which comprises hydro fluorocarbons, sulfur hexafluoride, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, methane, and perfluorocarbons. The carbon offsetting allows individuals and companies to invest in environmental projects, to reduce CO₂ emissions and to improve social livelihoods, biodiversity, clean water, and air quality while balancing the carbon footprint. It is utilized to compensate the greenhouse gas pollution, which is mainly released from flying, lodging, and transportation. The voluntary carbon offset is majorly used in the industrial, household, and energy industries.

The rapidly rising CO2 emissions have surged the need for voluntary carbon offset. CO2 emissions have impacted human health and the environment negatively. It has caused climate change and an increase in respiratory diseases, which are mainly caused by air, water, and other pollution. These negative impacts have surged the need for voluntary carbon offsets to compensate for the greenhouse gases. The supportive government initiative to reduce the greenhouse gases will further aid to surge the demand for voluntary carbon offsets. Hence, this will further fuel the market growth during the forecast period.

However, compliance emission reductions (CER’s) and verified emission reductions (VER’s) are alternative projects that are used to reduce CO2 emissions. The implementation of these projects will reduce the adoption of voluntary carbon offsets and anticipated to restrict the market growth.
