I absolutely agree re utilizing local market SCM’s in lieu of products like Carbon Cure. That supports local resource extraction and helps grow local markets too.
I also deal with this a lot on the offsets purchased side. ie: carpet companies, Nucor are two that rely on purchasing carbon offsets for their ‘carbon neutral’ product (although I believe that Econiq relies on renewable energy purchasing, which makes more sense for a steel product). I agree with Justin re: it’s becoming more common to see a variety of carbon offsets (bought, sold, etc) in the wild west of voluntary reporting.
However, there are frameworks for Scope 3 emission reporting and target setting (Science Based Targets). Adoption and utilization of these frameworks helps push the industry from voluntary to mandatory reporting practices.
