The World's First Regulated Carbon Exchange and Clearing House
Committed to enabling the transition to a Net Zero global economy, ACX is the first fully regulated carbon exchange, connecting global voluntary carbon market (VCM) participants to trade ACX contracts for spot carbon credits and other environmental instruments, operating with the integrity and transparency of a regulated financial market infrastructure.
ACX Exchange
ACX Ltd provides an exchange platform for the trading of standardised contracts on spot carbon credits and other environmental instruments, through a central limit order book (CLOB) and request-for-quote (RFQ) facility, in a fair, transparent, secure and robust environment.
OTC Services
ACX provides a platform for participants to enter into OTC trades to buy and sell specific carbon credits at a fixed price or as determined by an auction, with settlement facilitated by ACX Clearing.
ACX Clearing
ACX Clearing Corporation Ltd facilitates the real-time settlement of Exchange and OTC transactions, as well as providing the secure custody of the ACX participants’ carbon credits and funds.
ACX has collaborated with environmental market participants to design a diverse portfolio of spot contracts to provide an efficient way to meet their carbon offset goals. The ACX unique custody model allows market participants to securely hold carbon credits at leading carbon registries, and to transact them on the ACX platform. A digital record of carbon credits is maintained on the ACX platform, where participants are able to view, manage and value their assets in real-time, as well as retire the credits and create a permanent record of doing so.
