CDR Market Review: trends and transactions that shaped Q2 2026

Q2 2026 saw commitments up 83% compared with Q1, while buyers beyond Microsoft recorded their strongest quarter to date

ClimeFi is pleased to share that it has published its CDR Market Review for Q2 2026. 

Biochar has driven the majority of quarterly purchase volume for over a year. This was no longer the case in Q2, which saw a different pathway take the largest share of the quarter's commitments.

Buyer commitments beyond Microsoft also hit a record high, a European municipality entered the market at scale for the first time, and CDR took another step toward becoming a mandatory part of corporate net-zero targets.

Meanwhile, banks and Japanese institutional investors started to make their first moves into the space this quarter.

Get the full breakdown of pathways, transactions, buyers, and financing in the Q2 2026 CDR Market Review.
