Expanding Access to Tagged Credits
Xpansiv’s infrastructure supports both nature-based and technological removal credits. The new features make it easier for participants to trade tagged removal credits from registries like ACR, Climate Action Reserve, and Verra on CBL. The platform recently added removal credits from Puro.earth and plans to integrate more registries.
Russell Karas, Senior Vice President, Xpansiv, said
“We developed these new trading and portfolio management segmentation capabilities in response to customer interest in removals as a distinct market segment. The registry tagging capabilities we are using for removals is of growing importance to enable participants to identify and track credit eligibilities corresponding to a proliferating range of voluntary and compliance programs and meta-standards, including the ICVCM Core Carbon Principles, CORSIA, and Article 6. We are pleased to streamline this complicated tracking challenge for participants across our seamless market infrastructure.”
With all these advancements, Xpansiv is making it easier for businesses to engage with carbon removal markets. This way they can also meet their sustainability goals and contribute to a lower-carbon future.
Anew Climate Credits Now Available for Trading
Among the newly available credits are 75,000 nature-based removal credits from Anew Climate, a leading U.S. project developer. The company also has offices in Canada, Spain, and Hungary.
These credits originate from three projects focused on forest restoration and management. Subsequently, each project contributes to significant carbon removal while promoting biodiversity and forest health.
The Bayfield County Forest Carbon Project spans 159,656 acres in Wisconsin and is the first forest carbon project on county lands. It reduces timber harvests and adopts sustainable practices, prioritizing carbon storage. Notably, this approach has inspired other countries to launch similar projects.
Secondly, the Iron County Forestry Project covers 156,517 acres of hardwood forest in Wisconsin. Carbon payments support reduced timber harvesting, fund land acquisition, and protect habitats for species like the Connecticut Warbler.
Lastly, the Kanawha River Forestry Project manages 80,724 acres in West Virginia. Aurora Sustainable Lands owns this high-biodiversity area near the Kanawha River. It preserves forests to store carbon and improves watershed health.
These forest restoration projects demonstrate Anew’s efforts to reduce or offset carbon footprints, restore ecosystems, and deliver economic and climate benefits across private and public sectors.
Thus, it’s evident how efficiently Xpansiv is driving the global energy transition with its innovative infrastructure and transparency. Last but not least, with Xpansiv leading the way, the future of environmental markets and climate solutions holds great promise.
