How to Use the Carbon Credit Marketplace on This Site
A walk through our marketplace: the six project categories, the registry and delivery filters, search and sort, grid and table views, and the two ways to send us an enquiry.
Our marketplace is where buyers look through carbon credit projects that sellers have listed with us. Nothing is bought on the website itself. The marketplace is a shortlist tool: you find lots that look right, then talk to us so we can confirm the details in writing.
This page explains each part of the screen and how we suggest you use it, especially if this is the first time your organisation is buying credits.
Start with a category
Every project sits in one of six categories, based on what the project physically does:
| Category | Typical projects |
|---|---|
| Forestry | Tree planting, restoration of degraded land, agroforestry on farms |
| Renewable | Solar, wind and small hydro supplying the grid |
| Blue Carbon | Mangroves, coastal wetlands and similar ecosystems |
| Agriculture | Improved cookstoves, rice paddy methane, farm-level practices |
| Waste & Biogas | Landfill gas, biogas digesters, composting |
| Industrial | Energy efficiency, fuel switching, waste-heat recovery |
You can jump straight to one category with a link such as Blue Carbon projects. That is useful when a colleague has already decided, for example, that the company wants nature-based removals rather than energy credits.
If you are unsure which category suits your goal, browse all of them first. The Project Types pages describe each one in more depth.
Narrow the list with filters
Beyond category, two filters do most of the work.
Registry. This is the programme that issued, or will issue, the credits, such as Verra, Gold Standard or Global Carbon Council. Some buyers can only accept certain programmes. An airline buying for CORSIA, for instance, needs units from a programme ICAO has approved for the relevant period, so filtering by registry early saves time.
Delivery type. Each listing is marked Spot, Issued or Forward. In short, this tells you whether credits already exist and how soon they could move to you. We explain the difference properly in Spot, Issued and Forward credits.
Filters stack. Choosing "Renewable" plus a registry plus "Issued" gives you only renewable projects from that programme with credits already on the registry.
Search and sort
The search box looks for words in the listing, so you can type a country, a methodology code or a developer's name. A sustainability team that has been told "we want something from India" can type India and see what comes up.
Sorting reorders whatever is currently showing. Sorting by price helps with a first budget check. Sorting by volume helps if you need a large single lot and do not want to stitch together several small ones. Remember that listed prices are indicative; how prices are quoted explains what that means.
Grid view or table view
The grid shows each project as a card, which is easier for getting a feel for what is on offer. The table puts the same projects in rows, which is better once you are comparing. If you have three or four candidates, switch to the table so registry, vintage, volume and price line up side by side.
Both views apply the same filters, search and sort, so you can switch at any point without losing your place.
Open a project page
Click a project to see its full listing: developer, country, methodology, project type (removal, reduction or avoidance), delivery, vintage, the UN Sustainable Development Goals it supports, and statistics such as available volume, credits issued so far and estimated annual reductions.
If a field is unfamiliar, Reading a carbon credit listing goes through every one of them.
Estimate a total
On the project page you can enter the quantity you have in mind. The page multiplies it by the listed per-tonne price and shows an estimated total. Treat that figure as a planning number for an internal budget note, not a quote. The firm price comes later, in writing, once we have checked availability, vintage, registry details and whether the units meet your requirement.
Two ways to enquire
When a project looks promising, you have two options on the page.
- Request to buy. This opens our contact form with the project and your quantity already filled in. Add anything we should know, such as whether you need the credits retired in your company's name or transferred to your own registry account.
- WhatsApp. If you would rather talk it through, message us directly from the page. It suits a quick first question before you commit to a formal enquiry.
Either route starts the same process: we hold the lot, confirm the details in writing, then share project documents for your review before anything is signed.
If you cannot find the right project
The listings show what sellers have placed with us today, not everything we can source. If you have a specific requirement, such as a fixed volume, accepted programmes and vintages, CORSIA or Article 6 conditions, or project types you want to exclude, you can post it as a structured buyer requirement on our intake form. We then look for matching supply.
A practical order of work
For a first purchase, we suggest this sequence:
- Agree internally what the credits are for and which programmes you will accept.
- Filter by category, registry and delivery type.
- Switch to table view and shortlist two or three lots.
- Open each project and note the vintage and estimated total.
- Send one enquiry covering all of them, so we can compare options for you.
Once you have a shortlist, open the marketplace and send us a request to buy from the project page; we will come back with written availability for each lot.
