Trusted Transaction and Data Infrastructure for Environmental Markets

Environmental Commodities represent the fastest growing new commodity market. They capture in dollars and cents much of the value that our society places on safeguarding the environment. Buyers need to be certain that the environmental commodity they are buying is real, verified, unique, and valid. These attributes are the basis for trust in the marketplace, and trust is essential for the growth of effective environmental markets.

APX solves this problem by providing the highest quality transaction and data infrastructure for environmental markets, including tracking of offsets and allowances. As a bank and mint for renewable energy and carbon certificates, we create and track certificates via unique serial numbers and provide a full audit trail -- to ensure integrity in the marketplace. APX systems help ensure that there is substantiation for each environmental certificate, that policy rules are followed, and that there is no double counting. We are independent, policy neutral, are not a broker or marketer, and don't participate in these markets. Our aim is to support voluntary and compliance markets across the US, as well as international initiatives.

APX environmental market solutions are trusted to create, track, manage, and retire:

• Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) for all North American
  regional markets
• Carbon Offset Credits/Verified Emission Reductions, and
  Emission Allowances
• Energy Efficiency & Conservation Certificates

The APX Environmental Market Depository™ provides the essential infrastructure needed to enable these markets to develop. The easy to use, Web-based platform is designed to meet the needs of market participants and support the policy objectives of states, regions, the US federal government and international organizations. Our Environmental Registry services provide 24/7 support of environmental markets through our fully staffed operations center. Our services include all personnel, hardware, software, documentation, training, upgrades, and system maintenance and the peace of mind that comes with an experienced partner.
