The settlement infrastructure the voluntary carbon market needs.
CarbonClearingHouse was built to provide enterprise buyers with the institutional-grade settlement discipline, documentation, and defensibility that the voluntary carbon market has historically lacked.
Defensibility as the foundation.
Enterprise buyers — CFOs, ESG leaders, legal teams, and procurement officers — require more than a carbon credit. They require a documented, defensible procurement process that can withstand scrutiny from auditors, investors, regulators, and the public.
CarbonClearingHouse operates as a settlement clearinghouse for voluntary carbon credits — bringing escrow-like fund discipline, ERPA-governed transactions, registry-verified sourcing, and audit-ready documentation to every transaction.
We do not make environmental claims on behalf of buyers. We provide the infrastructure, documentation, and guidance that enables buyers to make accurate, defensible claims on their own.
How we operate.
Registry-first sourcing
Every credit is sourced directly from accredited registries — Verra VCS, Gold Standard, ACR, and CAR. No secondary market opacity.
ERPA governance
Every transaction is governed by an Emission Reduction Purchase Agreement with clear delivery terms, liability boundaries, and force majeure provisions.
Escrow discipline
Buyer funds are held in structured accounts and released only upon confirmed on-registry transfer. Buyer capital is protected throughout.
Documentation standard
Every transaction includes a complete documentation package: validation reports, MRV summaries, registry proofs, and claims-safe guidance.
Claims neutrality
We do not make environmental or regulatory claims on behalf of buyers. We provide factual documentation and neutral guidance to support buyer claims.
Confidentiality
All buyer engagements begin with NDA execution. Inventory details, pricing, and transaction terms are disclosed only under confidentiality.
