Carbon Compass is a podcast by Brundtland that breaks down the fast-evolving world of carbon markets and carbon finance. Rooted in South Africa but globally relevant, we explore how carbon credits can be leveraged as a catalyst for meaningful climate action. Through expert-led conversations, we unpack the mechanics, opportunities, and challenges of navigating a carbon-constrained world — for policymakers, project developers, and the climate-conscious.Solid Gold Podcasts #BeHeard 地球科学 科学 経済学

  • Carbon Tax Offsets 101

    Carbon Tax Offsets 101
    2026/09/01
    Carbon tax offsets, or CTOs, can help South African emitters reduce their carbon tax liability while creating an additional revenue opportunity for eligible climate projects. But how do they actually work — and what sets CTOs apart from standard carbon credits?

    In this episode, Emma Reinecke, Sustainability Consultant at Brundtland, speaks with Henk Sa, Partner and Head of Carbon Finance at Brundtland, to unpack South Africa’s carbon tax offset system from both sides of the market.
    Together, they explore how CTOs fit into the carbon tax, when they may be worth pursuing for emitters, what makes a project eligible to generate them, and why eligibility depends on the activity rather than simply the sector. Henk also explains how carbon credits become CTOs and why greater price certainty could strengthen the investment case for local climate projects.

    Key points of discussion:
    • What sets CTOs apart from standard carbon credits
    • How carbon tax combines a penalty for emissions with an incentive for reducing them
    • How much of an emitter’s taxable emissions can be offset
    • When CTOs may become financially worthwhile
    • The basic requirements for generating eligible CTOs
    • Why being “outside the tax net” matters
    • Why CTO eligibility depends on the activity, rather than simply the sector
    • How carbon credits are converted into CTOs
    • How CTO revenue can support climate project financing

    Whether you’re a project developer, an emitter managing carbon tax exposure, or simply trying to understand South Africa’s carbon market, this episode is a practical place to start.

  • Carbon Credits Are Changing — Unpacking Verra’s VCS 5 Update

    Carbon Credits Are Changing — Unpacking Verra’s VCS 5 Update
    2026/06/23
    In this episode, we discuss Verra’s recently released VCS Standard 5.0 and what it means for carbon project developers.

    The carbon credit rulebook is changing. VCS 5 introduces important updates to how carbon projects are developed, registered, renewed, and verified — with a stronger focus on integrity, clearer rights, earlier planning, and more meaningful stakeholder engagement.

    Hosted by Emma Reinecke, this roundtable discussion brings together Henk Sa, Partner and Head of Carbon Finance at Brundtland, Nimesha, Sustainability Consultant at Brundtland, and Dylan, Sustainability Consultant at Brundtland, to break down the VCS 5 overhaul in practical, accessible terms.

    Key points of discussion:
    • Why Verra’s VCS 5 update matters for carbon project developers
    • When the new requirements start to apply, and why developers should prepare early
    • How project timelines, registration, and crediting periods are changing
    • Why legal rights, ownership arrangements, and rights to carbon reductions and removals need to be clearer from the start
    • What stronger stakeholder engagement requirements could mean in practice
    • How changes to additionality may affect project evidence and financial planning
    • Why Verra’s new approach to project eligibility could open opportunities for certain project types
    • Other changes developers should keep on their radar as the carbon credit market evolves

    VCS 5 is more than a technical update. It signals a broader shift in the carbon market toward stronger governance, clearer rules, and higher-integrity credits. For project developers, the message is simple: start planning early.

  • Championing a Just Transition with Carbon Credits (with TransEnergy)

    Championing a Just Transition with Carbon Credits (with TransEnergy)
    2025/12/08
    In this episode, we sit down with one of our clients, TransEnergy Global, to explore the incredible work they’re doing. We unpack their journey in implementing a first-of-its-kind project, hear their perspective on South Africa’s Just Energy Transition, and discuss the role carbon credits can play in accelerating it. We also dive into the progress made so far in developing their methodology and we wrap up with a quick conversation on the Global Citizen Now event held on 21 November 2025.

    Key takeaways of discussion:
    • How carbon credits can be reinvested for even greater impact
    • What a Just Energy Transition truly means, according to TransEnergy
    • How the Coal Abatement for an Energy Transition methodology addresses key sticking points such as permanence and leakage
    • What major learnings TransEnergy have from their journey so far
    • Why platforms such as the Global Citizen Now matter for climate action

    Stay tuned for an exciting announcement towards the end of the episode!
