Carbon Trade Exchange (CTX) operates spot exchanges in multiple global environmental commodity markets, including carbon, Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) and water. Carbon Trade Exchange allows buyers and sellers to trade voluntary credits, as well as those issued by a United Nations program established under the 1997 Kyoto Protocol.[1]
Background
CTX was founded in London in 2009, after two years of research and development.
CTX uses technical IT infrastructure to support and operate its exchanges. CTX is currently operating in Australia, the EU and the US, and has the ability to expand into other jurisdictions and markets.
The CTX Exchange Platform interfaces with multiple environmental commodity registries, including APX, Climate Action Reserve, American Carbon Registry, VCS, Gold Standard and the Australian REC Registry. It also electronically links to financial intermediaries, such as Westpac in Australia, to provide efficient trading and create liquid and transparent markets.
