Understanding Compliance Markets

Compliance carbon markets are regulatory frameworks that place mandatory limits on greenhouse gas emissions. Organizations that exceed their allocated emissions allowances must purchase additional credits, while those that reduce emissions below their cap can sell surplus credits.

These markets create financial incentives for emissions reduction while providing flexibility in how organizations meet their regulatory obligations.
