Carbon Removals and Offsets Monitor
Carbon emissions are managed today with projects that either prevent carbon emissions from entering the atmosphere, or removing them (through natural or engineered methods).
Annual anthropogenic emissions today are approximately 30 Gigatons of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e). This site provides data on carbon removals and avoided offsets. Data has been compiled by cCarbon from public announcements and publicly available data.

Data Summary July 1, 2025
CDR investments saw a contraction in June 2025, with total deal value falling to USD 50M, down ~51% from May’s USD 102.4M. Only one investment deal was recorded, the lowest monthly count in a year. This sole deal was a USD 50M equity investment in Aircapture, a Direct Air Capture (DAC) startup, backed by the non-profit Larsen Lam Climate Change Foundation. The previous month had seen seven deals spread across three protocols, mostly grant-based.
Funding type shifted drastically with 100% of June’s investment came via equity, in contrast to May’s 90% grant-heavy profile. Additionally, non-profits were the sole investor category in June, compared to a more diverse mix (including governments and financial investors) in prior months. Cumulatively, equity remains the dominant funding type across the CDR landscape, while grants remain concentrated in BECCS and DAC, and debt financing continues to account for less than 5% of total funding.
On the CDR offtake deals, volumes rose by 46.8% in June 2025 to 9.23M tonnes, recovering from May’s sharp drop. The growth was driven by BECCS, IFM, and Soil-based Removal, which together contributed nearly 99% of the volume. Notably, Af/Reforestation and BiCRS recorded zero activity, reversing their earlier lead. Eight deals were signed across five protocols, with IFM's single transaction accounting for 4.8 Mt, the largest deal of the month and the only IFM deal in 2025 so far. The Technology sector led demand, with Microsoft alone securing two major deals, reinforcing its position as the largest buyer. On the supply side, Project Developers regained dominance, replacing Sellers who had led in May. Marketplaces and portfolio managers remained absent.
CDR issuances exceeded retirements for the first time in nine months. South America and Rest of Asia accounted for over 90% of issuances. VCS/CCB maintained its lead in retirements (60.5%) share, but Plan Vivo’ share surged to 34.67%. On the issuance side, Gold Standard topped with a 58.99% share, displacing VCS after its 99.61% dominance in May.
