The $250 Billion Carbon Market Just Got Its Rulebook; from Irfon Watkins, CEO, DOVU.
February 26, 2026
For nine years, Article 6 of the Paris Agreement existed on paper and nowhere else.
Article 6 is the mechanism that governs how carbon credits trade between nations — the international plumbing that allows a reforestation project in Kenya to generate credits that a Japanese manufacturer can use to meet a compliance obligation in Tokyo. In theory, it was the backbone of global carbon markets. In practice, it was paralysed. Countries couldn't agree on the rules. Every COP ended with Article 6 unresolved.

Veteran’s Carbon Holdings launches World's first scientifically quantified, measured, and validated
MINOT, N.D. - Veteran's Carbon Holdings (VCH), the company that collaborates directly with farmers and landowners to purchase the carbon generated by their crops, today announced the launch of the world's first scientifically quantified and 3rd party validated soil carbon certification program. Working in partnership with the BCARBON carbon registry located at Rice University, part of the Baker Institute for Public Policy, and DOVU, an Article 6-adjacent carbon credit digitization and trading platform, the new VCH program pays farmers for actual, measured, and verified carbon storage output. This approach, on track to cover from 1.5 million to 2 million acres in the Red River Valley of North Dakota and western Minnesota in 2026, is expected to deliver higher carbon payments to American farmers than prevailing model-based practices.
