Insights from the CDR.fyi/OPIS Pricing Survey
Pricing data is the most sought-after information in durable carbon dioxide removal (CDR). To address this market need, CDR.fyi and OPIS, a Dow Jones Company, partnered to conduct the durable CDR pricing survey. The survey, which targeted purchasers and suppliers of durable CDR, aimed to increase transparency in pricing and support the industry’s growth by gathering data on acceptable price ranges, optimal price points, and market dynamics.
Ninety-seven suppliers and twenty-five purchasers answered questions about various CDR project types for 2025 and 2030 delivery. Suppliers reported four price thresholds (Below Cost, Breakeven, Reasonable Profit, High Profit but Risky), and purchasers identified their own four price categories (Too Cheap, Cheap/Good Value, Expensive/High Side, Too Expensive). Respondents also noted which methods they had already traded and which ones they planned to transact in the future, allowing the survey to capture both current pricing experience and anticipated price ranges.
