Most data supports the thesis that the demand for carbon credits is going to increase rapidly as we approach 2030, which in turn will lead to steep price increases. As carbon credits do not have an expiry date, the obvious solution would be to purchase the credits sooner rather than later. It is also likely that companies will ‘pre-purchase’ carbon credits, meaning that it will take a few years for the CO2 to be physically sequestered. Companies cannot use the credits as an offset until the CO2 has been sequestered. Therefore, if the project you are purchasing from is going to take three years to absorb the CO2, and you are looking to achieve climate targets within the next three years, NOW is the time to buy carbon credits.
