The advent of Thanksgiving in the US and posturing from governments ahead of international negotiations reduced demand this week.

Bread and butter Indian wind VCUs are $4.25 offered with exotic VCUs like Thai biogas at a $1.75 premium. Chinese VCUs continue to attract very little demand at present Gold Standard VER transactions are increasing slightly after a quiet 11 months with small volumes being traded at €6-7/t spot and forwards around €5. US CRT V09 agricultural methane is $7.50 bid amid constrained supply, while pre-09 vintages are struggling to find buyers due to market uncertainty of future grandfathering eligibility for older credits into a future US cap and trade scheme.

VER demand was again firmer than in previous weeks with issued Indian RE pre-CDM VCUs transacting at $4–$5, and Chinese VCUs discounted at $2.75-$3.25 levels.

African micro-scale projects remain the preference for Gold Standard VER interest with soon-to-be-issued credits favoured. African GS VERs are priced at €9/€11 bid/offered, a premium of €2-3 over non-African, issued GS VERs which is causing some demand to revert back to issued credits.
