Expanding Pre-Issuance to Accelerate High-Quality Carbon Credit Development

Sylvera’s expanded pre-issuance solution helps project developers improve carbon credit quality early, supporting market growth and integrity amid rising demand for high-quality credits.

‍

Sylvera, the leading global carbon data provider, today announced a strategic expansion of its market leading Pre-issuance Solution offerings to project developers, positioning the company to address critical market challenges and unlock significant growth opportunities in the carbon credit ecosystem.

According to market analysis, demand for carbon credits is expected to increase 15-fold by 2030, creating an urgent need for high-integrity credits that meet increasingly sophisticated buyer requirements. Sylvera's expanded service responds directly to this market dynamic by enabling earlier quality intervention in the project lifecycle.

Under the expanded offering, Sylvera provides a detailed assessment of the developer’s project and targeted improvement guidance. This collaborative approach enables developers to identify and address quality risks early in project development, enhance carbon credit integrity, and align more effectively with buyer expectations before credits enter the market.

Allister Furey, CEO and co-founder at Sylvera, said: "This strategic expansion responds to a clear market signal – a looming supply crunch of high-quality carbon credits precisely when demand is accelerating. By engaging earlier in the project development cycle, we can help catalyze a significant increase in premium-quality credits reaching the market.

Our data consistently shows that quality interventions at the pre-issuance stage deliver exponentially greater impact on overall market integrity and financial return. This expansion enables us to fulfill our core mission of building trust in carbon markets while maintaining strict independence in our rating process."

Market-Driven Innovation and Reinforced Governance

The enhanced offering builds upon Sylvera's successful Developer Engagement program, creating a more robust framework for collaboration that benefits the entire carbon ecosystem. 

As part of the expansion, the company has reinforced its governance framework to uphold the highest standards of independence and impartiality. Sylvera has implemented a clear structural separation between its commercial and analytical teams, providing robust safeguards to mitigate any potential conflicts of interest.

Underscoring its leadership in transparency and operational excellence, Sylvera is the first carbon credit agency to be ISO27001 certified and to voluntarily align with the UK’s ESG Code of Conduct.

Furey added: "The carbon market is entering a critical growth phase where quality and scale must advance simultaneously. Our expanded capabilities ensure developers can access the insights they need to meet increasingly sophisticated buyer requirements, while reinforcing our governance framework to ensure our ratings remain impartial and deliver the market transparency essential for building trust."

Sylvera's expansion represents a significant market advancement at a crucial time, supporting developers, buyers, and investors with enhanced data insights that promote confidence and integrity throughout the carbon credit lifecycle.
