Climex services

Climex offers a state of the art web-based auction platform for safe, efficient and transparent transacting of CO2 emission rights. These can include VERs for carbon offsetting, EUAs under the EU Emissions Trading Scheme, or CERs and ERUs under the Kyoto Protocol’s Clean Development Mechanism and Joint Implementation. Climex applies a high standard Client Due Diligence process and only grants qualified participants access to its platform. Climex auctions are anonymous; i.e. the transaction is settled by a third party (in most cases our parent company Rabobank). This allows for a more efficient and faster delivery of payment immediately after the auction. Transactions are usually settled within two days after the auction.

Sustainable energy is taking off around the world. Investments in renewables around the world topped $211 billion in 2011, according to the United Nations. Some analysts believe that all energy will ultimately come from renewable resources. In the transition towards more renewable energy, Climex offers companies the possibility to green their energy use. For example, in Europe electricity qualifies as green electricity if it is used in combination with Guarantees of Origin (GOs). These GOs can be purchased separately from electricity. Furthermore, there is not yet enough green gas to meet all demand. An alternative is to use Gold Standard VERs in combination with natural gas to compensate for the CO2 emissions.
