The claim that carbon will overtake commodities by 2034 is a big jump. The article mentions demand is growing but does not show the actual data or the specific commodities being compared.

It depends entirely on the regulatory framework. If these nations cannot standardize their carbon accounting, the investment will stay speculative rather than becoming a reliable funding stream.

Conservation finance is one thing, but I want to see how this translates to actual infrastructure. Does this money fund grid stability or just protect existing forests?

Usually, these blue carbon credits go toward preservation. It is a different bucket than energy infrastructure, but it helps the local economy if the payouts are fair.
