RMI at North American Carbon World
RegisterAbout This Event
As North America’s flagship carbon conference, North American Carbon World (NACW), hosted by the Climate Action Reserve, is the must-attend event for carbon market and climate policy thought leaders looking to gain actionable insights into policy shifts and market trends, connect with changemakers working to grow and strengthen carbon markets, and accelerate climate action with integrity and ambition. NACW 2026 will offer unparalleled insights into emerging trends, market developments, and policy innovations that are shaping the future of market-based climate solutions. With a focus on collaboration and real-world implementation, the conference will deliver the content, community, and connections needed to succeed in a rapidly evolving carbon economy.
RMI will be at NACW to lead a workshop titled, “When Is a Credit Type Market-Ready? Lessons from Orphaned Wells.” In this session, led by Alexis Wilkman, we will explore the evolution of orphaned well plugging credits, a credit type that has seen rapid development and methodological churn over the past three years. Drawing on RMI’s latest research, the session will assess the current state of the market, including areas of strength, open questions, and key uncertainties, before turning to a structured discussion.

About the Session:
New credit types are emerging quickly, but what does it take for them to reach market maturity? This interactive session examines the evolution of orphaned well plugging credits, a credit type that has seen rapid development and methodological churn over the past three years. Drawing on RMI’s latest research, we will briefly assess the current state of the market, including areas of strength, open questions, and key uncertainties, before turning to a structured discussion.
