CORC Carbon Removal Indexes

The CORC index family tracks the price of removing carbon from the atmosphere based on Puro Standard methodologies.

Puro.earth collaborated with Nasdaq to create a first-of-its-kind index family that tracks the price of sequestering carbon through engineered carbon removal. The objective is to improve transparency in the carbon markets and help corporates understand the true cost of neutralizing their emissions. The indexes will also create a price signal that will stimulate the growth of the carbon removal ecosystem by supporting the business case for new carbon removal projects and helping potential investors into these ventures make better informed decisions.

The CORC Carbon Removal Price Index family consists of a composite index that tracks the price of all CORC transactions as well as a separate index for biochar and bio-based construction materials. More indexes will be added to the family as the number of CORC transactions based on other carbon removal methodologies increase.

Please be aware that from January 2023, Puro.earth will increase the minimum threshold for carbon removal durability to 100 years. This mean that the CORCWOOD will no longer be part of the CORC Carbon Removal Price Index Family and no individual reference price will be calculated for this method. This change will also affect the CORCX index as no method other than biochar meets the minimum threshold.
