FEBRUARY 2025
At Clever we are all about making accurate information easily accessible. We had a ton of new releases to the platform in February that achieve this goal. However, the one we are highlighting this month is the new ability to browse the Methodology pages specifically by title, ID, or one of our 9+ fields.
Premium users can also download Methodology page documents that provide the full text for the methodology in detail. This new search function is particularly helpful for Project Developers expanding into new supply.
Last week, we released our predictions of trends and challenges for the carbon markets in 2025. If you missed it, scroll down to read our insights.
We are extending invitations directly to PROJECT DEVELOPERS to offer free limited access to our Buyers Module (lite). Don’t miss this opportunity when it hits your inbox.
Finally, this month we want to introduce you to Zahra, our Sales Specialist. She is responsible for closing our first deal and beyond and has been an invaluable member to our team. See her Team Spotlight.
Downloadable Methodology PDFs
You can now easily browse methodology pages but it is important to be able to share it with your team so we have made this information downloadable to our premium members.
MORE Direct Contact Info
Accurate contact info is notoriously difficult to locate across the disparate sources of information on carbon credit projects. Every week we are locating, vetting, and adding more contact data including names, LinkedIn pages, and phone numbers. This information is also downloadable to CSV files on the Project Pages and Buyers Transaction Tables for premium users. Upload directly to your CRM to scale your sales outreach.
EMPLOYEE SPOTLIGHT
Zahra is our Sales Specialist and has been with Clever since the summer of 2024. She got her start in sales straight out of college when she was quickly recruited to train on K Street in Washington D.C. She then moved into the healthcare industry, helping companies with contract management and compliance. As our team has seen firsthand, Zahra leads with a consultative approach because at the heart of her conversations with prospective clients is her desire to solve their problems and give them the ability to make more secure and confident decisions. Her love and commitment to nature was part of the reason she was inspired to join Clever. She is happy to be part of a company that is a piece of a greater solution that strives to participate positively in climate action.
It's been a month since the the current US administration took office and we now have a better idea of how companies and governments may react to carbon markets this year. Here are a few trends and challenges that we anticipate based on recent events.
LET’S START WITH THE CHALLENGES
🇺🇸 States acting to support carbon markets are finding obstructionist interventions coming from the federal administration elected on a small-government and states-rights platform.
❓ Uncertainty and disorder in Washington projects a petrifying effect onto business globally. Business decisions made under uncertainty are difficult; business decisions under chaotic conditions are avoided.
🚫 The growing global support for deregulation and profligacy may make any alternative to unchecked polluting simply too unattractive.
SOME TRENDS
👨💻 With the steep rise in AI adoption and its increasing demands on energy, tech companies like Microsoft and others will invest heavily in projects to offset the carbon emissions created by the increased data centers that deploy this technology.
🌍 As the US takes a backseat to combating climate change, emerging markets like in Africa and South East Asia may seize the market gap taking advantage of their natural resources and begin to invest heavily in developing new carbon offsets projects.
💰 Capital investment is beginning to mature with greater access to insurance products where sophisticated investors receive signals from co-interested parties subject to market validation rather than only from disinterested pundits. Insurance and capital markets will always be more accurate than self-styled experts.
