Once derided as a symbol of corporate greenwashing, the carbon credit market is showing signs of revival, Bloomberg writes. MSCI data shows companies used more credits in the first half of 2025 than ever before, with $10 billion committed to new projects—triple last year’s pace. Much of the growth stems from Asia, where regulators are introducing emissions caps and taxes that drive demand for credits. Analysts expect demand to quadruple by 2030, with regulatory mandates replacing voluntary offsets as the dominant force. While scandals in recent years eroded credibility and cut market value, new frameworks and stricter oversight are bolstering…

By Gerelyn Terzo, Global AgInvesting Media A new carbon investment vehicle is poised to capitalize on Australia’s corporate offset needs. Cibus Capital, a London-based sustainable food and agriculture investor, has launched the Cibus Carbon fund, specializing in the creation of Australian Carbon Credit Units (ACCUs) from planted carbon projects within the country’s expansive natural capital sector. Cibus Capital is targeting a A$200–300 million fundraise to support the creation and delivery of roughly 11.25 million ACCUs over the next three decades. The Cibus Carbon fund will be managed by a team in Australia harnessing expertise from Cibus Capital’s private equity and…
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is moving from niche pilot projects to a global climate strategy worth billions. Once seen as a backup plan, it’s now racing to the forefront — from massive U.S. industrial hubs to China’s fast-expanding carbon pipelines. Supporters call it essential for tackling the world’s toughest emissions in steel, cement, and energy. Critics warn it could be a costly detour. As governments, investors, and big tech pour money into CCS, one question looms: can it deliver the deep carbon cuts needed to hit net zero by 2050? This guide walks you through everything you need to know:…
Image source: BT Group plc The BT (LSE: BT.A) share price is surging upwards. From a low of 105p early last year, the share price more than doubled. Such rapid growth is making a lot of people wonder when BT shares can recover their previous highs. When might they hit £3 again? The £3 mark would be a notable one. It’s around a 50% increase from the current price. And given the current upwards trajectory, which overlaps with new CEO Allison Kirkby’s stewardship, it might not be far away at all. For one, it’s nothing new to the stock. The…
Image source: Getty Images As a veteran investor, I’m always looking for undervalued shares. Also, as an income investor, I’ve built a diversified portfolio of dividend stocks. And there is no shortage of both types of share in the UK’s FTSE 100 index. US stocks look pricey However, most of my family portfolio — and our biggest winners — is in US stocks. That’s partly because the US market accounts for roughly two-thirds of global equity capitalisation. Furthermore, US stocks have outperformed UK shares since the global financial crisis of 2007/09. But the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite indexes look…
US stocks faltered on Tuesday as investors weighed the likely fallout of President Trump’s latest tariff blitz and the US government careened toward its first shutdown in seven years. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) fell by 0.3%. The S&P 500 (^GSPC) declined by 0.2%, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) slid around 0.3%, coming off modest closing gains on Wall Street. Markets are bracing for a government shutdown after Trump and Republicans met with Democrats in the Oval Office on Monday but failed to strike a deal to avert a halt to funding. “I think we’re headed to a…
Image source: Getty Images For dividend-hungry investors looking for high-yield shares, tobacco companies are a perennial favourite. That makes sense. Cigarettes are cheap to make and can sell for a pretty penny, meaning that tobacco companies can generate a lot of cash. With the industry in long-term decline, growth opportunities are limited. That means high operating cash flows can often convert into high free cash flows, instead of needing to be ploughed back into the business. Meanwhile, as some investors shun tobacco shares on ethical grounds, death-stick makers often prioritise their dividend as a key plank of their investment case.…
Image source: Getty Images It has not been a tasty year for shareholders of Greggs (LSE: GRG). A shock profit warning in the summer sent Greggs shares tumbling – and it is not yet clear whether there might still be more bad news to come the next time the company updates the market on its trading. That is scheduled for tomorrow (1 October). Almost cut in half Over the past year, the Greggs share price has fallen by 49%. So £1,000 put into the baker’s shares 12 months ago would have shrunk in value to around £510. Ouch! The five-year…
Image source: Getty Images As a veteran investor, I tend to buy and hold shares for many years. Also, I aim to buy value shares — stocks that seem undervalued to me. And to boost my family portfolio’s passive income, I own shares with market-beating dividend yields. Furthermore, I often find plenty of cheap and high-dividend shares in the UK’s FTSE 100 index and its cousin, the mid-cap FTSE 250. My goal by owning these and other stocks is to generate capital gains (profits from selling shares), backed up with regular infusions of cash from dividends. Three dividend dynamos For…
(Bloomberg) — The $55 billion take-private of Electronic Arts Inc. has evoked several superlatives, including being heralded as the biggest leveraged buyout of all time. Part of that list is JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s $20 billion of financing — the largest debt commitment ever by a single bank for such a deal.
