Overview

Company Does Not Provide H1B Sponsorship

Crux Climate builds financial infrastructure to support the transition to renewable energy by focusing on transferable tax credits, which are government incentives for renewable energy projects like commercial and industrial solar installations. The company provides a platform that facilitates the buying, selling, and management of these tax credits, making the market more liquid and accessible for developers, financial institutions, and advisors. Crux generates revenue through transaction and subscription fees, ensuring a steady income while simplifying the complex process of managing tax credits. The goal of Crux Climate is to create a vital marketplace for renewable energy tax credits, promoting investment in sustainable energy solutions.
