New Retail Platform API
Global Carbon Sales Solution
New Retail Platform API
B2B & B2C online platforms access world’s largest inventory.
The world has been bombarded with new Ai startups – but of course if they have no history, limited market credibility, why would projects list credits there? In our 18+ years CTX has never had a default trade, non-delivery of credits or non-payment to projects or credit owners, despite closing in on $1 billion+ traded.
The CTX API will grant instant access to the entire CTX inventory for trusted platforms or broker reseller – without the need to have their clients engage with CTX at all.
Online Carbon Platforms will be able to add their own online margin, get paid direct (using their own credit card & payment solutions) then the transactions will be processed via One platform account in CTX with T+2 settlement, using our unique Line of Credit /Pending Transaction process. There is NO RISK or additional costs for the sellers. Trades settle within 48 hours, or the trade cancels, and the credits go back onto the exchange.
To ensure this process is secure, instantaneous and compliant, CTX is hosted on Microsoft Azure SOCII cloud infrastructure, and the CTX encrypted Automated Programming Interface (API) connections employs worlds best cybersecurity protocols, and continuous monitoring to safeguard every transaction and prevent unauthorized access or data breaches.
For new Broker or Carbon trading solutions, trust is hard to build, no matter how much money is invested. For market preparations if they think of CTX as the global Carbon ‘Stock Exchange’, they can build market share and intellectual property off the back of the exchange, (like stockbrokers do for shares) and leverage 18 years of proven infrastructure. This trusted, secure proven long-term operation is why CTX holds more Credits across different credit standards than all the global carbon market ‘platforms’ combined. And when Projects owners see companies like Xpansiv posting $hundreds of millions per year in losses, financial security matters.
Many startups get going with a significant pool of capital but then exhaust and waste it if trying to replicate the CTX infrastructure. Many then resort to investing in projects to get credits (like Rubicon Carbon) or buying inventory like CiX who they then write down to sell cheap like junk into low priced tokens.
This solution gives Carbon Brokers or Online Carbon Sales platforms access to all the CTX inventory for their clients in a low cost with all the CTX features without CTX having their buyers’ details.

CTX Negotiate Price (NP) symbol hits the mark with buyers
Last year we introduced this fabulous new feature, along with a new ‘fuzzy search’ feature, amongst others. A recent offer on 10,000 credits was approximately 10% under the listed price, so the NP was sent to the seller, who accepted an hour later, and our trade team did the rest. The buyer was in funds, and the trade was completed same day, credits sent to their Registry account by end of same day.
Similar manner, last week a buyer sent £50,000 overnight, funds credited to their account next morning, purchased 3 high quality Gold Standard (GS) projects (two lots sold out) credits were in their GS Registry account by mid-afternoon.

Rules and Fees Update
Registry Fees ripple into more costs for Voluntary Carbon Market
Last year CTX introduced a Member Exclusive CTX Exchange Cleared OTC Trade deal.
In that instance you introduce the Buyer to us (CTX) and we will Clear and Settle the trade for half the normal fees at the price you agree. Under that arrangement, the Buyer pays any Registry Transfer (or retirement) fees, not you. And of course we will enter into an NDA /Non-Circumvention agreement, so we won’t cut YOU out then or in future. The buyer does not need to become a CTX member.
Despite these innovations we found some clients regularly leveraging the CTX listings, then delisting credits to sell OTC (usually for much less, so without our fees – effectively avoiding them).
Adding new Listings on CTX has always been FREE (no CTX Fees) for paid up members and will continue to be so, but it’s not really FREE for CTX at all. Our strategy had always been we make money when the credits are sold. But the time and cost of accepting and listing via Registries like Verra is significant (it’s manual), and so is de-listing and transferring credits.
Despite the fact that the Registry does nothing (we do it), it is owned by a competitor, so we were forced to on-charge their fees. When credits are sold, we have to ADD these onto our fees. But the BUYER pays not the seller.
But, when credits are delisted to do an OTC trade outside CTX, we have done twice the work and the marketing for ZERO revenue. We pay all the staff, the registry account and other fees, bank and other CTX infrastructure – It is not free for us, so we were forced to introduce a small De-Listing fee, to cover some of the costs associated with our business.
But when you do an OTC outside of CTX for listed credits you pay our de-listing fee including Verra Fees (at least twice) – maybe 3 times for transfers and resale or cancelation.
The alternative is to let CTX broker the Buy Side of the deal – Clear and Settle for half the fees then Sellers you pay 2.5% (in total), CTX do all the work, contracts and banking, and the buyer pays the Verra fees. And you have an electronic ‘audit trail’.For information or support in relation to CTX Membership contact operations@ctxglobal.com

Plastic Waste Collection and Recycling Project – Ghana
Community-based & backed by The World Bank,
USD$325.00 (minimum 10 tons)
11 SDG’s, ZPO Social Plus certified, ZPO Ocean Bound Plastic certified
This dynamic, female-led entrepreneurial initiative is part of the CTX Plastic Fantastic revolution, tackling plastic pollution in Ghana through a community-driven waste collection and recycling programme. The ambitious project aims to establish large-scale, commercial recycling plants capable of reprocessing 2,000 tonnes of plastic waste annually. These socially oriented enterprises are strategically located in high-impact communities where plastic pollution is most acute and are designed to empower enterprising women to launch their own sustainable waste management businesses—creating long-term income and employment opportunities.
Robust networks of dedicated waste pickers collect polypropylene (PP), low-density polyethylene (LDPE), high-density polyethylene (HDPE), and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) from diverse sources including residential homes, commercial establishments, educational institutions, bustling markets, and sprawling landfills. The collected materials are transported to ASASE’s centralized warehouses for systematic aggregation and meticulous sorting. From there, the waste is transferred to ASASE’s innovative CASH IT! processing plants, where it is transformed into high-quality shreds and pellets. These recycled materials are then sold to downstream manufacturers producing durable construction products and practical household goods.
Frequently operating on previously neglected dump sites, the project undertakes comprehensive site remediation and implements permanent, community-integrated waste management solutions. Its visionary goal is to establish resilient, countrywide infrastructure for effective and enduring plastic waste management across Ghana.

Run Of River – HYDRO POWER PLANT PROJECT, TURKEY,
Social Carbon co-benefits, 4 SDGs
Credits – various vintages starting @$1.50
Run-of-river hydroelectricity (ROR) or run-of-the-river hydroelectricity is a type of hydroelectric generation plant whereby little or no water storage is provided. Run-of-the-river hydroelectricity is considered ideal for streams or rivers that can sustain a minimum flow or those regulated by a lake or reservoir upstream. Run-of-the-river projects are dramatically different in design and appearance from conventional hydroelectric projects. Traditional hydroelectric dams store enormous quantities of water in reservoirs, sometimes flooding large tracts of land. In contrast, run-of-river projects do not have the disadvantages associated with reservoirs and so cause fewer environmental impacts.
Located in the Black Sea region of Turkey, this fabulous project helps in reducing the poverty in the area and contribute to the sustainable development goals, and as you can see the river flows right through it.

Wind Project – Pakistan (Asia)
3 SDG’s : US $0.45
Sapphire 49.5 MW Wind Farm Project – ‘Buy to Retire’ credits from this project achieve (GHG) emission reductions by utilizing wind resources for electricity generation through the construction of a wind farm with a total capacity of 52.8 MW. Prior to the start of implementation of the project activity, the WAPDA electricity grid was dominated by fossil fuels, and there was no power generation unit at the site of the proposed project. The wind farm contributes to solving Pakistan’s acute energy crisis by reducing the number of blackouts and brownouts experienced by other grid users, which can help to improve the economic performance of other businesses connected to the grid. The project offers job opportunities for local people during the construction phase and the operational period and thus achieves economic growth in the region.
This project is the first of its kind in Pakistan where foreign manufacturer wind turbines are used, pioneering the promotion of this technology to other wind power projects.

Methane Capture to Energy (CMM)
Project ID: 1880 (2 SDG’s)
Coal mine methane (CMM) emissions refer to the process whereby methane is released during coal mining activities and represent a potential source of energy. The recovery and use of CMM emissions have benefits for the local community as well as the global environment. Before CMM can be used, it must be captured by ventilation and drainage systems and then brought to the surface. The purpose of the sub-project was to introduce goaf wells and long horizontal borehole drilling technologies to the Chinese coal mines.
This project developed a technology to extract Post-Mining CMM from surface goaf wells by improving the technology in order to extract a higher methane rated concentration gas, combined with a technology to blend the low concentration methane (CMM) and high concentration methane (post-mining methane (PMM)) to achieve a stabilised supply of gas with adequate methane concentration. This Project contributes to the reduction of GHG by combusting methane in the CMM and substituting these fossil fuel-based energy sources.
Extraction and utilisation of CMM brings a lot of benefits including the assurance of coal mine safety, a solution for a regional environmental issue by decreasing emission of air polluting substances, and the promotion of local economy, including, without limitation, increasing the opportunity of employment. In addition, the use of this unused domestic energy contributes for the sustainable development in China from the perspective of energy security.
