Global carbon pricing revenues exceeded $107 billion in 2025, with mechanisms now covering nearly 30% of global greenhouse gas emissions. The World Bank reports that emissions trading systems are driving most of this growth, while carbon taxes remain stable at around 5% coverage. Advanced economies continue to lead in revenue generation, but emerging markets like India, Viet Nam, and Nigeria are expanding their frameworks. Nigeria specifically aims to generate $3 billion annually by 2030 through carbon credits and nature based projects.

The revenue jump is impressive, but the average price of $21 per tonne is still too low to drive deep industrial decarbonization. Most heavy emitters can just absorb that cost without changing their capital expenditure plans.

Agreed. If the price does not hit a threshold that makes green hydrogen or CCS cheaper than gas, it is just a tax. Does the report specify how much of that $107 billion is actually going back into grid hardware versus general government funds?

Interesting to see Nigeria targeting $3 billion by 2030. The potential for nature based credits is huge there, but the success depends entirely on the registry and verification quality to avoid the usual integrity issues.

Most of this revenue comes from ETS in advanced economies. I wonder if any of these funds are actually reaching building retrofits or industrial heat upgrades, or if it is all going to big utility scale wind and solar.
