The carbon credit market is primarily an OTC market and can be divided into 3 markets; primary market, secondary market, and retail market.
The primary market is where the investors (primary buyers) deal directly and make a bid to the project owners (Issuer) once the Issuer received their carbon credits from the carbon standard registries.
Information on the transaction done (price levels and amount purchased) in the primary markets are notoriously difficult to find out since it’s usually not reported to the public.
