Anew Climate has appointed Bhagyesh Dash as Senior Vice President of International Compliance Carbon, based in Singapore. Dash will lead the company's work on CORSIA, Article 6 of the Paris Agreement, and national carbon pricing programs. He joins from South Pole with more than 25 years in climate finance and environmental commodities. The hire signals Anew's push beyond voluntary carbon markets into compliance-driven trading. Singapore's carbon tax and its growing role in Article 6 transactions make it a practical base for this work. Anew says it will connect buyers with credits that meet authorization, verification, and eligibility requirements, drawing on its portfolio of nature-based and technology-based removals and low-carbon fuel commodities. With CORSIA entering its next phase in 2027, airlines and other regulated buyers are looking for supply that qualifies under strict rules. The appointment is part of Anew's strategy to expand in international compliance markets.

Good to see Anew putting a dedicated person on compliance carbon. CORSIA 2027 and Singapore carbon tax are the real drivers here. The piece doesn't say how much of their portfolio is actually eligible for Article 6, which is the part I want to know.

Interesting move. Dash spent 25 years in climate finance and came from South Pole. Anew is mostly known for voluntary removals, so this is them pushing into compliance markets. Worth watching whether they can line up authorized supply before CORSIA's next phase.

The key line is that authorization and corresponding adjustment will decide supply. That is the part most people miss. A credit can be real and still fail compliance if the host country won't authorize it. Singapore's Article 6 role helps, but the real test is host country policy.

Focusing on Singapore makes sense for market access, but I'd like to see more on the actual supply side. Which projects, which countries, and what timeline? Compliance eligibility is one thing, delivering volume by 2027 is another.

Anew says it's the world's largest generator of registry-tagged verified removals. That claim gets thrown around a lot. Either way, putting a compliance lead in Singapore signals they expect regulated demand to grow. The article is light on numbers, but the direction is clear.
