Yes, through two distinct markets. Article 6.4 of the Paris Agreement (centralised UN mechanism, operational rules finalised at COP29 in November 2024) allows CCS/DAC/BECCS projects in developing countries to generate certified credits that states and companies can use for their climate contributions. The voluntary market (Verra, Gold Standard, Puro.earth) also accepts DAC + geological storage and BECCS credits at premium prices ($500-1,500/tCO₂ from Climeworks or Heirloom, above the conventional voluntary market at $5-30/t). Note: capture at a facility you operate cannot both be deducted from your own scope 1 and sold as a credit, as this would be double counting. Industrial point-source capture generates, at best, reduction credits, accepted by some voluntary standards (Verra since 2024); only removals (DAC, BECCS, mineralisation) generate removal credits. Credit quality depends heavily on MMV traceability and storage permanence.
