Peaks and Troughs – Portfolio Build takes centre stage
Combine Ultra High Quality with extraordinarily low priced CERs
Corporate Budgets need big diversity Portfolios: The CTX search functionality is designed to help brokers / corporate buyers hit all offset criteria. Project Type, Nation /Region, SDGs, Credit Standard or even vintage, plus many of the co-benefits. But an offset portfolio may mean a combination of these to meet the ultimate hard line – Budget.
The recent plunge in price for CDM and CTX CERs has nothing to do with the ‘quality’ of the offsets diminishing as we outline in the story below. But for Buyers it creates a unique portfolio opportunity that won’t last forever.
The concept of a Portfolio is to achieve Carbon Neutrality within a budget without compromising the other core requirements of the end buyer (off setter).
CTX has also multiple recent listings of high-cost High Quality Credits with more charismatic ‘features’. Using the Portfolio approach also minimises any risk of negative media (true or untrue) on sectors or project types

CTX – Record December Defies Market Depression
Trust, Confidence, Performance: The cornerstones of CTX for over 18 years. All the way to New Years Eve (15 transactions) CTX traded volume of over $2.5 million, with no interruption over Christmas or New Year, despite most of our team on holidays. And prices ranged from 30,000 Verra @ $8.15 down to 190,000 CTX UN CERs @ the new reduced Floor Price of $0.30. That wave of positive action has continued into January – the much-awaited resurgence in the global VCM has finally started, but it didn’t just happen, it required huge efforts over the entire year of 2025.
In this newsletter we will outline the new innovative technology solutions to support even more trading and growth.
And the amazing once in a lifetime opportunity for buyers.
Carbon Buyers could have a Very Merry Christmas!
Amongst the many things that happened – or didn’t happen – at COP30 in Brazil, the UNFCCC quietly drafted a Board Resolution to close the UNFCCC CDM Registry in the latter part of 2026. This was first reported by Sylvera with the draft Board Resolution here.
As long standing partners of the CDM Registry since 2017 , we are still waiting for clarification and we will inform you as soon as we have any updates. (Carbon Trade Exchange (CTX) is our partner.)
CTX Celebrates 15 years of Westpac Bank Integration
For Cricket Fans worldwide the Ashes is considered the pinnacle of test cricket. So of course nobody could possibly have missed Westpac Banks sponsorship of the Australian team and the Ashes. But of course the UK Media had to pile on criticism in the face of resounding defeat for the English team as if they have no history. In October 2010 Westpac announced their announced their “deal to Support Carbon Trade eXchange” which was officially launched in early 2011. As the Sustainability Matters blog said then “Carbon Trade Exchange and Westpac have teamed up to create what is claimed to be the world’s first electronic interface for the voluntary carbon market. The solution will allow companies to trade as buyers or sellers into the Carbon Trade Exchange from their own bank account”.
15 years later, the technology that Global Environmental Markets built and CTX paid for is still running strong.
Just like the Veterans in the Aussie cricket team. Of course, we wish the English team all the best for the rest of the series, we guess they’ll get used to the Westpac Logo.
