NAGEX is working with leading energy transition companies who specialize in carbon capture, verification, data transfer and storage. The permanent storage of these carbon emissions is the only realistic option to "move the needle" in the right direction for our planet to meet net-zero objectives by 2050.
We believe the emerging blockchain technology is the key to capturing, validating, monitoring, and immutably storing the data associated with the physical emission storage. With that, issuing a Carbon Warrant Passport (CWP) on top of the blockchain to the businesses that stored the emissions will, in turn, initiate a global settlement price on the NAGEX. This will facilitate futures trading and OTC CO2 commodity derivatives, resulting in liquidity, transparency, and a reputable index that we envisage will become a key component of the GSCI, Bloomberg, and Reuters commodity indices.
With an immutable audit trail of carbon emissions stored on the blockchain, and the subsequent physical storage underground, the market can then begin to engage in buying and selling of the CWPs. When any free market has a global price it can rely on, then the market participants can facilitate the transition to net-zero, rather than a disparate and unaligned tax penalty system that bears no resemblance to a properly regulated commodity market.
