🏭 Carbon Credit Market Simulator (2D)

2D cap-and-trade carbon market dashboard: bar-chart companies trading allowances by merit order, a live price-history chart, and a reforestation offset dial — the same pricing model as the 3D version, read as numbers instead of a scene.

This 2D companion drives the same merit-order cap-and-trade pricing model as the 3D version through a plain canvas dashboard built for reading the numbers rather than orbiting a scene: a bar for each company shows its uncontrolled baseline emissions as an outline, its current emissions as a filled bar coloured by market status, and a dashed marker for the free allowance it was handed that year, while a reforestation dial and a scrolling price-history strip let you watch the market clearing price rise and fall as the cap tightens, the abatement-cost spread widens, or the offset project scales up. Step through years one at a time with the Next-year button, or let it play and watch the merit order re-sort itself automatically every simulated year.

⚙ Under the hood

2D cap-and-trade carbon market where companies with different abatement costs either cut their own emissions or buy allowances from cheaper rivals and a reforestation offset project, with the price set live by the cheapest abatement still needed to meet a shrinking cap.
