Tencent joining a coalition for better carbon credits is fine, but the text is light on specifics. I want to see which actual standards they are backing and how they plan to verify these credits. Without a clear framework, this is just a press release.

Agreed. The gap between joining a coalition and actually shifting market incentives is huge. The real test is whether they push for rigorous accounting that survives regulatory scrutiny or just stick to voluntary standards that look good on a report.

Interesting to see CATL involved here. If this coalition starts linking carbon finance to actual grid scale storage or transmission efficiency, it becomes useful. Otherwise, it is just another layer of financial abstraction.

Exactly. Most of these high level partnerships talk about transparency but ignore the physical reality of project delivery. I am curious if they will disclose the specific projects they are financing.
