Organisation's Role 

Carbon Credits provide the key financing element in the fight against climate change, allowing money to be put back into helping to reduce the effects that GHG have on our environment. Carbon Trade Exchange is the first global electronic spot trading platform for voluntary carbon credits (e.g. VERs) and soon to be compliance carbon credits (e.g. CERs). Carbon Trade Exchange is a fully secure web based platform which can be accessed by its members to buy or sell carbon credits from anywhere in the world, creating a central hub of carbon market participants including project originators, carbon brokers, carbon consultants and auditors, NGO's, large corporates and SME's. The aim of Carbon Trade Exchange is to provide a trusted, fully transparent marketplace where businesses can buy carbon permits/offsets while being confident in the quality and origin of the products being sold. Through its strategic alliance with the leading international carbon registries (including Markit Environmental Registry & CDC Climat), Carbon Trade Exchange is able to list all the major internationally recognised Voluntary Carbon Standards, including VCS and Gold Standard. The platform allows members to easily select specific types of projects (credits) from around the world, type of accreditation, vintage, location and ultimately the price they are willing to pay. All verification documentation, photos, and videos of each project are easily accessible through our online portal. The benefit of Carbon Trade Exchange is it allows business of all sizes to access the market with trades as small as 100t and as large as 10,000,000t possible
