In-Depth Look At Our
Engineered Solutions Carbon IndexTM (ESCI)

What is included In ESCI?

CCUS

Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage
 Captures CO2 emissions from industrial processes and power generation.

BECCS

Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage
Generates energy from biomass and captures the resulting CO2 emissions.

Biogas

Produced through the anaerobic digestion of organic materials, generating renewable energy.

Biochar

A stable form of carbon produced by pyrolyzing organic material, used for soil health and carbon sequestration.

DAC

Direct Air Capture
 Captures CO2 emissions from industrial processes and power generation.

Other

Technology-Based Solutions· 
 Includes various emerging technologies for carbon capture and reduction.

The ESCI price is determined by a weighted average of these components, based on their market share and baseline prices.

Why Important

Engineered Solutions carbon credits are gaining prominence in the global effort to combat climate change due to their scalability, reliability, and potential for permanent carbon sequestration. Unlike nature-based solutions like reforestation, non-nature-based credits involve advanced technological and industrial processes such as Direct Air Capture (DAC) and Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS).

Engineered Solutions credits are expected to be over 80% of voluntary carbon market by 2030. 

A “technology dip” is expected happen to Nature-Based credits before 2030. 

The Engineered Solutions credit price will be preferred and demand higher prices vs. Nature-Based credit prices.

Historical Metrics

The ESCI is updated weekly to reflect the latest market trends and data. As the VCM develops, historical metrics will be provided to track the performance and changes in the index over time.
