Nasdaq has launched the pre-registration for its upcoming Carbon Issuance Calendar, developed in collaboration with Carbon Direct.
This free online platform eases the decision-making on both the supplier and buyer side in the carbon dioxide removal (CDR) equation by providing insights on the available credits from durable CDR projects.
For carbon credit suppliers, the Carbon Issuance Calendar offers an opportunity to display offtake availability to buyers through a centralized platform that boosts trust and transparency.
The platform promotes consistency, supporting suppliers in the data cleansing and upload processes, and through it, CDR providers can connect to preferred sales channels with no listing fees.
With this tool, CDR suppliers can reach a global audience of corporate and financial buyers, getting the chance to showcase projects and gain broad market exposure to a wider network of interested stakeholders.
Along with data on availability, the Carbon Issuance Calendar also displays info on indicative pricing from a range of carbon credit suppliers, granting buyers access to these insights at no cost.
The data is structured and presented transparently, leveraging Carbon Direct’s technical knowledge and offtake transaction experience centered around project diligence and assurance.
This tool provides buyers with an insightful market overview, enabling them to secure the credits they need for advancing on their sustainability plans.

In the bigger picture, by connecting buyers with available CDR supplies, this platform is helping advance the deployment of carbon removal technologies on a larger scale.
Currently, the platform displays credit availability from projects focused on engineered CDR solutions, and going forward, the creators highlight that it might also feature nature-based CDR credits, which will be organized in a separate segment to ensure a clear understanding of both credit types.
By preregistering for the platform, users opt in to receive updates and a notification of the moment it will officially launch, when the database will be available free of charge for registered platform users.
