CDOP Coalition releases Version 2.0 to standardise carbon credit data across VCM
The Carbon Data Open Protocol (CDOP) coalition, an international group of 75 organisations including Sylvera and S&P Global, launched Version 2.0 of its open-source data schema. This update expands standardised data parameters from four to eleven categories, covering critical phases of the carbon credit lifecycle. The new protocol aims to resolve data fragmentation in high-permanence carbon dioxide removal sectors like biochar by creating a unified digital framework. Version 2.0 introduces a versioned status record system, ensuring an immutable digital audit trail for credit modifications. This standardisation seeks to enhance transparency, operational efficiency, and institutional trust across global carbon markets.
