Global – October 12, 2026 -- Clever has added Reduction vs. Removal classifications to detailed issuance tables, covering more than 2,400 projects across the CAR, Gold Standard and Rainbow registries where data is available.
Credit-level tags target net-zero purchasing decisions
The added layer lets buyers evaluate project characteristics faster and align purchases with corporate strategies, net-zero commitments and shifting market preferences. Clever offers the classifications through its platform, and a free Open Access Module is available for sign-up.
CleverIQ adds prompt suggestions to speed up searches
The company has introduced prompt suggestions in its CleverIQ tool to help users refine searches and surface insights faster. Clever says the tool removes the need to build filters or manually cross-compare datasets. It states that CleverIQ runs on a large, structured dataset with safeguards for accuracy, and that all of its logic is fully verifiable.
Summer buyer analysis finds repeatable purchasing patterns
Clever analyzed historical retirements across multiple registries and identified buyers that consistently purchase during the summer months. According to the company, many of these patterns repeated across time. Summer is often viewed as a slow season in carbon markets, but Clever argues that demand does not disappear and that signals emerging in quieter periods are easier to spot. The findings are available in a Summertime Buyer Report and in the company's Buyers Module, aimed at project developers timing their outreach to specific organizations.
Rainbow partnership expands registry connectivity
Clever is continuing to expand its partnership with Rainbow, whose registry framework is designed to improve transparency and accessibility for project developers and buyers. Rainbow projects are among those now carrying the Reduction vs. Removal classification.
