Our latest Carbon Weekly report has now been published, reviewing activity in the Australian and international carbon markets for the period January 20 – 24 2025.

The Australian carbon market continued to see strong trading momentum last week despite a lack of engagement from liable entities, as volumes held well above recent averages ahead of the Australia Day and Chinese New Year holidays this week. Meanwhile, weekly derivatives volumes reached a 4-month high, with increased hedging activity concentrated on key election dates.

In this Carbon Weekly report, we analyse recent activity in the Australian and international voluntary carbon markets, including our ACCU (Australian Carbon Credit Unit) spot price assessments, method spreads, forward activity, and traded volumes.
