Korea Exchange Signs MOU with Global Carbon Credit Exchange Operator

The Korea Exchange announced on the 17th that it has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Xpansive, a US-based operator of a global carbon credit exchange, to strengthen its carbon market business sector.

A carbon credit exchange is a marketplace for trading carbon reduction achievements (credits), also known as the Voluntary Carbon Market (VCM). Xpansive operates CBL, the world's largest carbon credit trading platform.

With this MOU, the Korea Exchange plans to consider launching the "KRX Carbon Credit Market" and expanding its global carbon market network.

In addition, the Korea Exchange intends to review various infrastructure development plans to enable companies seeking carbon credits to conveniently buy and sell high-quality overseas carbon credits through its platform.

At the MOU signing ceremony held in New York, USA, on the 16th, Jung Eunbo, Chairman of the Korea Exchange, stated, "The Korea Exchange aims to foster the leading carbon market in Asia," adding, "In this process, we expect to find various opportunities for collaboration with Xpansive, which operates a global carbon credit market."

John Melby, Chief Executive Officer of Xpansive, responded, "We look forward to working with the Korea Exchange (KRX) to establish the KRX Carbon Credit Market, which will support the energy transition goals of companies and other organizations."
