재생에너지 탄소배출권 시장 기회, 성장 촉진요인, 산업 동향 분석과 예측(2025-2034년)

The global renewable energy carbon credit market was estimated at USD 43.3 billion in 2024 and is expected to grow from USD 48 billion in 2025 to USD 186.2 billion by 2034, at a CAGR of 16.2%, according to the latest report published by Global Market Insights Inc.

Governments and corporations worldwide are setting aggressive net-zero targets, creating a surge in demand for carbon credits generated through renewable energy projects. These credits help bridge the gap between current emissions and long-term decarbonization goals.

Compliance to Gain Traction

The compliance segment held a notable share in 2024, driven by government-mandated emissions reduction targets and regulatory frameworks. Under programs like cap-and-trade and renewable portfolio standards, companies are required to offset a portion of their emissions, fueling steady demand for certified renewable energy credits. This segment benefits from structured oversight and standardized protocols, offering more predictability for market participants.

Rising Adoption Among the Voluntary Segment

The voluntary segment will grow at a decent CAGR during 2025-2034, as corporations, institutions, and individuals take proactive steps toward sustainability beyond regulatory mandates. Businesses are purchasing renewable energy carbon credits to demonstrate climate leadership, meet internal net-zero targets, and enhance ESG reporting. The segment thrives on flexibility, with buyers selecting projects that align with their brand values, such as community-based solar farms or small-scale wind developments.
