Fastmarkets Introduces Advanced Carbon Intelligence Solutions for Decarbonization in Commodity Markets

Fastmarkets Expands Carbon Intelligence for Commodities

Fastmarkets, a prominent price-reporting agency and global market intelligence provider, recently unveiled its latest carbon offering, aiming to assist businesses in addressing the pressing needs of decarbonization within commodity markets. As the world increasingly commits to decarbonization efforts and stringent regulatory measures like the EU's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) gain traction, the importance of managing carbon exposure has intensified across various industries.

The newly introduced carbon offering stands out by equipping businesses with crucial tools such as carbon credit pricing, market insights, and regulatory analysis. This initiative is particularly timely, as organizations strive to align their operations with climate goals while facing an evolving marketplace.

Raju Daswani, the CEO of Fastmarkets, emphasized the urgency of the situation: "Decarbonization is no longer a future goal — it is a critical business priority today. We're excited to launch a comprehensive carbon market offering that equips industries to thrive in a low-carbon economy. By integrating reliable pricing, in-depth market intelligence, and regulatory insights, we empower our customers to navigate uncertainty and turn it into a competitive advantage."

Fastmarkets' launch features two pivotal products designed to redefine standards in carbon market intelligence:

1. Carbon Credits and Removals

This service delivers comprehensive historical price assessments, vital market news, and long-term forecasts that enable informed decision-making. It includes pricing for CORSIA Phase 1 as well as nature-based projects such as ARR, IFM, and REDD+. Fastmarkets provides unmatched detail, featuring forecasts spanning 11 project types up to 2030 and projecting four segments to 2050.

2. CBAM Insights

Available for early access, this tool provides critical analysis regarding the cost implications and supply chain impacts of CBAM. The full suite will launch in August, further enriching carbon market offerings by incorporating expanded insights into green commodities and compliance markets.

Stuart Evans, Fastmarkets’ chief economist and head of environmental markets, stated, "Our goal at Fastmarkets is simple — to cut through the market noise and deliver insights that genuinely help businesses stay competitive. With our rigorous methodologies, market forecasts, and deep market expertise, we're equipping companies to manage their carbon priorities confidently while navigating this period of significant growth and change in exposures."

Designed to support industries in leveraging opportunities around monetizing carbon and mitigating the impacts of climate policies, Fastmarkets’ new carbon services aim to assist agriculture and forestry segments in developing new revenue streams derived from emerging carbon credit and removal markets. Moreover, firms involved in aluminum, steel, and alloys manufacturing can use this data to counteract their CBAM exposure effectively.

With decades of expertise across the metals, forest products, and agricultural sectors, Fastmarkets offers high-value analytics and pricing data tailored to deliver insightful market trends and solutions that cater specifically to different industry requirements.

Starting from May 12, businesses can access these advanced carbon services via an API-friendly platform, custom dashboards, and weekly analytical reports that address their unique operational needs.
