Verification Delays Preventing Credit Issuance and Revenue
Definition
Delays in the carbon credit verification process by registries and validation/verification bodies (VVBs) prevent timely issuance of credits, blocking project developers from selling and receiving payments. This creates extended time-to-cash cycles in the documentation and verification workflow. Thallo's report quantifies this as a systemic bottleneck across the voluntary carbon market (VCM), affecting scaling efforts.
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: $2.6 billion by 2030
- Frequency: Ongoing across projects - recurring delays per verification cycle
- Root Cause: Insufficient VVB capacity relative to project volume, manual processes, and bottlenecks in registries/GHG programs
