Invest in Xpansiv

Xpansiv connects buyers and sellers of environmental commodities and provides market data for voluntary carbon offsets, renewable energy credits (RECs), and low-carbon fuels, each of which are critical elements of global decarbonization.

Xpansiv developed standardized assets that mirror physical commodities, enabling liquidity for registered environmental performance claims.

Xpansiv is an innovator in developing new products such as Digital Natural Gas, which tracks vital information like greenhouse gas profiles at the point of production, as well as carbon benchmark products that include the Global Emissions Offset and Nature-Based Global Emissions Offset, providing customers with standardized means to manage their global emissions risk.

Xpansiv’s software provides the underlying project data backing up the physical commodity assets. The platform operates a spot exchange and registries, portfolio management systems, a marketplace, and a market data business.

Registries allow environmental projects to be reported and tracked. For example, carbon offset registries track offset project information that has been verified by independent third parties including credits generated, ownership, sale, and retirement.

Market participants who have accounts in multiple registries can view and manage their holdings and portfolios in one place at Xpansiv.

Xpansiv generates market data that feeds into licensing arrangements that the firm has with futures exchanges.

Xpansiv also provides end-of-day and historical market data and operates the leading multi-registry portfolio management system for environmental commodities.

The company’s main business units include CBL, SRECTrade, APX, H2OX, and OTX.

CBL is the largest spot exchange for environmental commodities, including carbon credits and renewable energy certificates.

CBL has operated in the carbon offset market for more than a decade and has access to 1,000+ projects through partnership agreements with all major carbon standard groups and access to international products.

CBL partners with environmental registries to facilitate the trading of compliance and voluntary renewable energy certificates, providing same-day clearance and settlement.

SRECTrade is the largest independent platform for managing and selling solar renewable energy credits in North America.

APX is the leading provider of registry infrastructure for energy, power, and environmental markets.

H2OX is a leading spot exchange for buying and selling water.

OTX is a market for emergency reserves of oil products—compulsory stockholding obligations (CSO)—for more than 200 companies in 27 countries.

Xpansiv market data and analytics enable market participants to measure, model, and weigh risks and opportunities with greater confidence and clarity. Comprised of firm bid/offer and transaction details, Xpansiv data covers hundreds of project-specific credits as well as Global Emissions Offset (GEO) standardized contracts traded on Xpansiv market CBL.

Xpansiv has developed strategic partnerships with CME Group and S&P Global Commodity Insights—two of the largest, most highly regarded names in global commodity markets.

CME Group trades futures on CBL’s N-GEO, GEO, and C-GEO contracts, with more than 200 million tons transacted since launch.

S&P Global Commodity Insights provides daily assessments of carbon benchmarks via its authoritative, transparent pricing methodology. These assessments are used to settle CBL’s suite of GEO-standardized spot contracts.

The Xpansiv Registry is an interoperable platform to transform commodity-production information into standardized digital assets products. Digital assets are created in an immutable data format that accommodates an extensible range of information from a myriad of partners to create differentiated products, issued and managed in the Xpansiv Registry.

Xpansiv generates revenue through the sale of ESG data services, offering insights and analytics to businesses and investors. Additionally, the company earns income from providing technology solutions for managing and analyzing ESG data. Xpansiv also charges transaction fees on its marketplaces where participants buy and sell ESG-related commodities.

According to Carbon Pulse, Xpansiv expects to post pre-tax profits at the end of 2023 after halving losses and almost doubling revenue to $391 million in 2022.

In January 2024, Xpansiv and Evident, the leading clean economy registry provider and certification body, reached an agreement in which Xpansiv acquired a minority interest in Evident. The investment builds on an existing partnership between Xpansiv and Evident and supports the companies’ mutual goal of enabling the energy transition and certifying the world’s clean economy through independent certification and dynamic markets. Xpansiv’s investment enables Evident to continue its expansion into new regions and products, including Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), green hydrogen, biomethane, and carbon removals.

In April 2024, the Regional Voluntary Carbon Market Company (RVCMC) announced it has selected Xpansiv to provide tech infrastructure for RVCMC’s carbon credit exchange, which is set to launch later this year in Saudi Arabia. The move marks a significant step towards achieving RVCMC’s ambition to scale up global supply and demand to deliver much needed climate finance to the Global South.
