BEClimate and Xpansiv launch BEVerify registry to bring carbon credits to buildings.

BEClimate and Xpansiv launch BEVerify registry to bring carbon credits to buildings. July 14, 2026 In a major bid to funnel carbon finance into the real estate sector, BEClimate has launched BEVerify - a dedicated registry designed to connect building decarbonization projects directly with global carbon markets. Developed by BEClimate, powered by Quidos, and delivered in partnership with environmental market infrastructure giant Xpansiv, the platform aims to solve a long-standing funding bottleneck for built-environment climate action. Historically, energy efficiency upgrades in schools, care homes, and commercial properties have struggled to attract upfront capital, as energy savings alone rarely justify the high initial costs. BEVerify addresses this by turning verified, real-world building performance improvements into auditable carbon assets. This allows asset owners to factor carbon credit revenue directly into project economics from the start. Digital verification in minutes, not months. A key differentiator for BEVerify is its reliance on digital Measurement, Reporting, and Verification (dMRV). By utilizing continuous, asset-level monitoring data, the platform has successfully demonstrated reduction-to-issuance times measured in minutes rather than months. This highly automated, agentic verification model streamlines the traditional administrative hurdles of carbon markets while maintaining a completely traceable digital audit trail. "Without a reliable way to measure, verify and monetise carbon value when investment decisions are made, many projects are delayed, scaled back or never fully realised," said James Bray, CEO of BEClimate. By integrating BEClimate's built-environment methodology with Xpansiv's cloud-native, API-driven registry technology, the platform is built to support audit-grade traceability. It is also designed for seamless interoperability with other registries and emerging compliance programs under Article 6 and CORSIA. For carbon buyers, the registry offers a rare opportunity to support highly tangible, localized emissions reductions rather than abstract or distant offset projects, paving the way for scalable, community-level climate impact.

enechain and Xpansiv launch real-time integration of environmental commodity platforms.

enechain and Xpansiv launch real-time integration of environmental commodity platforms. Featured News, Xpansiv May 27, 2026 Streamlining access to the global environmental credit markets in anticipation of growing demand from Japanese businesses. TOKYO, NEW YORK, SYDNEY - May 27, 2026 - Xpansiv, the leading infrastructure provider for the global energy transition markets, and enchain Corporation, the leading energy marketplace operator in Japan, today announced a real-time data integration between Xpansiv CBL, the world's largest environmental commodity spot exchange, and JCEX (Japan Climate Exchange), the environmental value trading marketplace operated by enechain. This integration supports real-time market data dissemination, enabling trading of carbon credits from hundreds of projects worldwide, enhancing price discovery, liquidity formation, and expanding the range of instruments available via JCEX. Enables global market access. Using the familiar JCEX interface, JCEX participants can now view live market data and enter buy and sell orders for global environmental commodities listed on CBL. A separate registration with CBL is not required. When evaluating environmental commodity purchases, participants can reference transparent global market data for an extensive portfolio of products, allowing them to effectively implement their decarbonization strategies. Growing demand for environmental commodities to meet sustainability goals. The Japanese government has set a target to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, which requires companies to take concrete action toward reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. At the same time, consumers - particularly younger generations and international customers - are increasingly favoring responsible companies and choosing environmentally conscious products, prompting companies across a wide range of industries to adopt ambitious net-zero programs and to launch carbon-neutral products and services. However, achieving carbon neutrality solely through independent internal reduction efforts is highly challenging for many companies due to technical constraints. Utilizing environmental commodities - such as carbon credits and energy attribute certificates - to offset greenhouse gas emissions has become essential. This integration is positioned as a key initiative to ensure a stable and cost-effective supply of environmental commodities through connectivity with global markets, in anticipation of the continued growth of corporate net-zero programs. Xpansiv CBL offers high-quality environmental credits. Voluntary carbon credits represent emission reductions generated by projects undertaken by project developers and issued by independent standards organizations, using transparent methodologies and supported by robust verification data. I-RECs certify the environmental attributes of electricity derived from renewable energy sources. Environmental credits are issued and tracked by registries, which allow them to be sold, transferred, and ultimately retired, providing a system of record for ownership and proof of action supporting energy and environmental claims Xpansiv CBL offers an extensive lineup of high-quality instruments, including: * Core Carbon Principles (CCP)-eligible credits, established in 2023 by the ICVCM (Integrity Council for the Voluntary Carbon Market). * CORSIA-eligible credits, conforming to the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation, which is now in its first compliance phase. * I-RECs (International Renewable Energy Certificates), governed by the I-TRACK Foundation and issued by Xpansiv's Evident I-REC Registry. High-quality voluntary credits certified under CCPs are projected to see highly active international trading, and demand for such premium assets is rising rapidly within Japan. Future outlook of the partnership. Since enechain and Xpansiv first announced their strategic partnership Xpansiv has broadened its presence in the Japanese market and was selected as a finalist for both the financial innovation and sustainability categories of the "Tokyo Financial Awards 2025" hosted by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government. enechain and Xpansiv's multi-year partnership agreement has recently been extended and expanded to cover a wider range of environmental and energy products and services. "High-integrity environmental commodities are essential tools to achieving a timely, global energy transition," said Ben Stuart, Chief Commercial Officer, Xpansiv. "The transparent price discovery, growing liquidity, and trusted market infrastructure we are providing in partnership with enechain will enable Japanese companies to more effectively leverage these critical markets to meet their carbon and renewable energy goals starting now." "We are thrilled to now provide Japanese companies with real-time access to order information from Xpansiv CBL, the world's largest environmental commodity spot exchange," said Hideaki Kato, Vice President, enechain. "In recent years, as decarbonization has become a serious priority for businesses across Japan, we have seen firsthand a growing demand for global environmental commodities, driven by a wave of companies proactively offering carbon-neutral products and services. We are confident that through our partnership with Xpansiv, we can empower our clients to trade international environmental credits with greater ease - and in doing so, play a meaningful role in supporting their decarbonization goals."

Enverus and Xpansiv broaden partnership to deliver a unified price discovery platform across energy and environmental markets through MarketView(R). PR Newswire Today at 7:35am PDT MarketView integrates verified spot exchange and OTC broker pricing with full-spectrum energy markets, giving trading and risk teams a single, authoritative view of price formation across environmental and energy commodities NEW YORK and AUSTIN, Texas, May 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - Enverus and Xpansiv today announced an expanded partnership that brings Xpansiv CBL spot exchange transaction data and Evolution Markets forward indicative pricing for energy and environmental commodity markets into MarketView(R), creating a consolidated price discovery and workflow platform across energy and environmental commodity markets. Currently, exchange prices, OTC broker assessments, and core commodity data have lived in separate systems, forcing traders and risk teams to reconcile incomplete views of the market. The new offering harmonizes disparate environmental commodity data for market participants, including trading houses, brokers, financial institutions and corporate buyers. MarketView now eliminates that fragmentation by bringing the most critical pricing signals together. MarketView already serves more than 8,000 users across 500+ client sites, delivering real-time access to energy, commodity, and financial data from more than 500 providers across all major global exchanges, North American power ISOs, and leading price reporting agencies including OPIS, Argus, Platts, ICIS, and Fastmarkets.

MarketView now brings those signals together into a single, trusted view of the market." "Xpansiv offers an unmatched source of end-of-day and historical data for environmental and energy commodities, covering both exchange and OTC markets," said Russell Karas, Senior Vice President, Strategic Market Solutions, Xpansiv.
