“Over the years we’ve invested significantly in our field data team - focusing on producing trusted ratings. While this ensures the accuracy of our Ratings, it doesn’t allow the scale across the thousands of projects that buyers are considering.”
For more information on carbon credit procurement trends, read our "Key Takeaways for 2025" article. We share five, data-backed tips to improve your procurement strategy.
One more thing: Connect to Supply customers also get access to the rest of Sylvera's tools. That means you can easily see project ratings and evaluate an individual project's strengths, procure quality carbon credits, and even monitor project activity (particularly if you’ve invested at the pre-issuance stage.)

Leading carbon data platform signals growth, expanding offering to address market need as voluntary, compliance, and physical markets converge
Sylvera has announced its expansion into carbon-differentiated commodity markets. The company will apply its proven methodology for independent assessment and transparent data to provide actionable insights and standardised carbon intensity data for developers, investors, buyers and traders navigating the green economy.
Building on proven capabilities
Following a year of significant growth—with over 50% revenue increase, 85% customer growth, and doubled paid users—Sylvera's expansion reflects its track record of addressing increasing market complexity with trusted data infrastructure. New clients in 2025 included Alibaba and John Swire & Sons, joining existing customers such as ExxonMobil, Mitsubishi, Bayer, and Salesforce.
Sylvera's growth trajectory reflects its ability to address increasing market complexity with trusted data. As carbon markets have evolved, the company has consistently introduced offerings that provide clarity and standardisation:
Carbon credit ratings and data, establishing the trusted standard as voluntary markets scaled
Comprehensive market intelligence, as participants needed visibility across fragmented credit markets
Biomass Atlas, the company's flagship geospatial data product, now supporting the Woodland Carbon Code, the world's most developed carbon stock programme
"Each offering Sylvera has introduced responds to the same trend: as markets become more complex, participants need tools and data to standardise, monitor, and make decisions with the most accurate, broad, deep and transparent information possible," said Allister Furey, CEO of Sylvera. "Physical commodity markets are now showing this same lack of clear data and standardisation. That's why we're expanding into this space."
Market convergence drives expansion
Previously distinct markets—voluntary carbon credits, compliance schemes, Article 6 mechanisms, and physical commodity markets—are integrating into a more unified green economy. This convergence is creating complex decision-making challenges across industries.
Producers of commodities such as cement, ammonia, and hydrogen face fundamental choices about whether to generate carbon credits from lower-emission processes, sell at a price premium for lower carbon intensity, or pursue certification under specific compliance schemes. Investors need clarity on which projects and facilities offer the best risk-adjusted returns.
And on the buy side, tech companies are now choosing between purchasing carbon removal credits and paying premiums for low-carbon steel and cement in their value chains. Airlines must balance CORSIA-eligible carbon credits against sustainable aviation fuel costs and emerging lower-carbon fuel premiums.
"Carbon-differentiated commodities are becoming a keystone of how decarbonisation is financed across the wider economy," said Furey. "Companies are making holistic decisions across their entire transition strategy, from direct emissions reductions to commodity procurement to carbon credit purchases. Our role is to provide the trusted data and insights that enable those decisions with confidence."
The critical data gap
The data infrastructure to support informed decision-making across these converging markets has not yet existed at scale.
Without standardised carbon intensity measurement across facilities and transparent benchmarking that reveals true performance distributions, investors cannot assess competitive positioning, developers cannot demonstrate their low-carbon advantage to secure financing and offtakes, buyers cannot make informed procurement decisions, producers cannot reliably price their low-carbon premium, and capital cannot flow efficiently to the best decarbonisation opportunities.
Sylvera's commodities solution
Sylvera's expansion builds on its capabilities developed in the carbon credit market, with its platform designed to handle multiple compliance regimes and data standards, providing the scalable infrastructure required as these markets mature. Its expanded offering provides three core capabilities:
Standardised, facility-level carbon intensity assessments – Using transparent methodologies, Sylvera enables producers to benchmark and showcase performance with credible, third-party data, investors to make informed capital allocation decisions, and buyers compare carbon intensity across facilities and cargos to optimise procurement decisions.
Commodity insights and market data – Live data and insights into supply, offtake dynamics, investments, capacity, and strategic positioning across carbon-differentiated commodity markets help all market participants understand competitive landscapes and identify opportunities. For developers, this means visibility into market demand and competitive positioning. For investors, it provides market intelligence to inform investment and identify opportunities.
Decision support for monetisation pathways – Producers can understand eligibility and compare potential value across multiple mechanisms including RFNBO standards, CBAM compliance, voluntary carbon markets, Article 6 instruments, and Book & Claim systems through interoperable data and clear insights to optimise returns and accelerate investment decisions.
