The Green Exchange

On July, 23 2010, the U.S. Commodity Future Trading Commission (CFTC) approved the Green Exchange as a designated contract market (DCM). Contracts on emissions allowances and credits in CO₂, NO_X, and SO₂ will continue to be listed for trading and clearing by NYMEX until they are transferred to the Green Exchange.

Environmental markets are growing rapidly and broadly as the global community rises to the challenges posed by climate change. These fundamental changes create a continuous need for effective and innovative financial tools to meet the diverse needs of a broad range of participants for these developing markets, including consumers, industrials, project developers and investors. To meet this growing challenge, thirteen of the world’s most innovative and powerful financial institutions have come together to form the Green Exchange Venture.
