May 28, 2025: California-based climate intelligence firm cCarbon has launched the Carbon Removals and Offsets Monitor (CROM), a free, open-access platform designed to enhance transparency in carbon markets. This tool aims to provide clear, accessible data on carbon removals and offsets to drive market transparency and accountability.
The CROM platform is part of broader efforts to improve the integrity and oversight of carbon removal and offset projects, which are critical for climate action and corporate net-zero commitments. By offering open access to information on these markets, cCarbon supports stakeholders in making informed decisions and helps build trust in carbon credit mechanisms.
This initiative aligns with other global moves towards better certification and monitoring frameworks for carbon removals, such as the EU’s new voluntary certification framework for carbon removals and carbon farming, which sets quality criteria and monitoring processes to ensure durable and credible carbon storage.
Overall, cCarbon’s CROM platform represents a significant step forward in making carbon markets more transparent and reliable, facilitating greater confidence among investors, regulators, and the public in the effectiveness of carbon offsetting and removal efforts.
