Highlights of 2025

Dear ,

As we approach the end of 2025, closing the Net Zero Gap is more urgent than ever. With atmospheric CO₂ levels above 420 ppm, the market needs certainty through high-quality and science-based carbon removals that scale, project support and fair pricing. We have been delivering this since 2021 — and will continue to pave the way for the CDR market development, together with you.

What sets us apart

• Customer focus: The scientific knowledge does not end with our standards – our strong team is supporting you along the way with great availability and knowledge.
• Reliable Issuance: We maintain consistent and ongoing C-Sink issuance, turning removal claims into trusted assets. And this at a fair price.
• Scientific Backbone & Quality: Our high-quality standards are rooted in deep scientific research. Verified C-Sinks based on our standards are of highest quality and lead to real value.
• Pioneering: We successfully developed and implemented the Global Construction C-Sink Standard to certify Carbon sinks realized in buildings using biogenic material. Another milestone is the application of biochar in the matrix of Asphalt.

Milestones of 2025

1. Global Leadership in Issued Biochar Credits

Our Global C-Sink Registry has become the standard for transparency and tracking, listing over 500,000 tonnes of CO₂ equivalent (t CO₂e) issued to date. This isn't just data; it is value. We have helped create value for our partners, transforming removal claims into monetizable, trusted assets. From agriculture to elite sports, our standards deliver measurable impact.

2. Highest number of verified projects

Globally we have over 100 projects listed on our Global C-Sink Registry page.

3. Scaling Trust Internationally: Present in 70 Countries

As we are embedded in the EASY-CERT group, we have strong global representations in 70 countries and grow exponentially without funding or investments by external players. We are also leading the transition to the next generation of integrity, having applied for recognition by the Integrity Council for the Voluntary Carbon Market (ICVCM) as an Eligible Carbon Crediting Programme.

Looking Ahead

2025 moved carbon removal forward; 2026 will accelerate its adoption. We are building the infrastructure for a Gigaton-scale C-sink economy. Also, we will work on new important market topics such as Insetting and more.

We want to say thank you - to our team, partners, and the global community. Thank you for the trust and collaboration that make this work possible. Together we can turn carbon into climate action.

Kind regards,

Your team of Carbon Standards International
