Enterprise-grade infrastructure to scale the liquidity and climate impact of carbon markets.
A carbon market big enough to have real climate impact needs a sturdy foundation – a foundation that sellers and buyers can trust, the financial community can rely on, auditors can audit, and regulators can regulate.
State of the Market
Carbon markets are a critical tool in the fight against climate change, with the potential to channel much-needed financing to projects that reduce and remove emissions. Yet the project-based carbon market is not large enough to drive real climate impact because of deficiencies in the market’s infrastructure.
Fragmented registries, lack of common data standards, and perceived conflicts of interest prevent the market from scaling.
Today's infrastructure is not robust enough to meet the needs of the large financial institutions whose participation is critical to maturing the market. The market lacks the basic ability to track credit title and ownership rights and formalize security interests and other encumbrances. These functionalities are necessary for the deployment of project finance at scale.
