Do I need a Registry account to buy Credits on Carbon Trade eXchange?

Registries provide the infrastructure required to issue, trace, transfer and retire carbon offsets. They provide attestation of ownership that prevents double-counting.

CTX works with three registry providers – the United Nations, VERRA and the Gold Standard – in order to support trading on its platform.

You do not require a Registry account to use Carbon Trade eXchange, but you may prefer to link your own Registry account if you trade large volumes of Credits. Please contact sales@ctxglobal.com for further information.

 

Do I retain ownership of listed Credits?

As detailed in our Terms and Conditions, CTX Account Holders retain contractual ownership of their Credits so long as the Credits are held in our Escrow accounts and their Conditions of Sale have not been met.

Access to CTX Registry Accounts is restricted to CTX staff, Verra staff and Gold Standard registry staff.

To buy Credits from CTX you must be ‘in funds’.

Next you must select the Listing you want to buy from by clicking the Green Tick.

I cannot find the Units I’m looking for – what can I do?

If you can’t see the type of credits you want on the eXchange, or wish to negotiate a price, you have two options:

  1. Post a Bid
  2. Contact our Team

By posting a bid, you are not under any obligation to buy a corresponding offer.

  • Simply select the ‘Add Bid’ button and populate the fields describing what you want.
  • Your bid will be listed in the bid’s column on the trading page, indicating to other members what you are looking for. If a member has credits that meet your requirements, they can list them for you to purchase.

Alternatively, you may call the CTX Sales team who can engage with sellers on your behalf.  Please email trading@ctxglobal.com with your requirements or call +44 (0)203 598 5890.

How do I Retire or Cancel my Credits?

This varies with each Credit standard. 

For Gold Standard and Verra VCS If you have a Registry Account, then Credit retirement can be done through the registry directly once the purchased credits are transferred to your account.

For CTX CER’s if you have a National Registry account then credits can be transferred to it for you to retire. 

If you do not have a Registry Account then CTX will assist and complete the retirement on your behalf, then requests to Retire/Cancel your Units should be emailed to operations@ctxglobal.com.

I need a formal tax invoice or payment advice slip
