Unlocking carbon markets to deliver measurable climate impact

The Global Carbon Market Utility builds public-purpose market infrastructure to help market
actors manage risks

Carbon markets are a powerful tool to fight climate change.

They can channel billions of dollars to projects that reduce and remove emissions. But today’s market is too small to deliver measurable climate impact.


Weak market infrastructure is holding the market back.

Registries are fragmented, data is inconsistent, and perceived conflicts of interest create mistrust. Critically, the infrastructure can’t reliably track ownership rights and formalize security interests.

This makes it nearly impossible for large financial players to commit to the market and for the needed capital to flow to projects.

We’ve built infrastructure designed to reduce risk, lower costs, and improve confidence.

Global Carbon Market Utility provides what today’s fragmented systems cannot: a single, trusted source of truth for the legal title and ownership of carbon credits, housed within infrastructure built for modern financial markets and for scale.


Our platform brings three essential qualities every financial market needs:

01.

Foundational registry features

Purpose-built to record credit ownership and encumbrances, so financing can move with confidence and security.

02.

Audit- and regulation-ready architecture

Transparent, secure, and designed to meet the expectations of auditors, regulators, and global financial institutions.

03.

Neutral utility model

Operated as a utility with the singular purpose of scaling carbon markets for climate impact.

With GCMU, project developers can obtain credits with title, investors and lenders can secure their rights over carbon credits when financing projects, and buyers, traders, and insurers can transact with confidence.
