GSMA is proud to share  The Voluntary Carbon Market: A guide for startups.

Designed primarily for early-stage climate innovators, this guide helps assess their potential to enter the Voluntary Carbon Market (VCM).  

The guide addresses frequently asked questions at the VCM project-level, maps out key players within the VCM ecosystem, provides step-by-step guidance of the carbon project development process, and explores case studies across selected sub sectors, showcasing how organisations have navigated the VCM.

A standout feature of the guide is the carbon credits breakeven calculator which estimates the range of carbon credits required to recoup project costs. It provides two outputs: the number of units needed to break even under high and low-market price scenarios, and the likelihood of achieving cash breakeven based on your sales targets.
