For project developers
Your climate work deserves a better marketplace.
CREDAEX is a global carbon credit marketplace built for the people who actually do the work — restoring forests, building renewables, regenerating soil, capturing harmful gases. List your projects and get your credits evaluated and verified, reach serious buyers for verified credits, keep more of what you earn.
The hard truth
The carbon market is broken in ways you already know.
If you've sold credits before, you've felt this. The system rewards intermediaries, not the people generating real impact.
Too many middlemen
Credits change hands four or five times before reaching the buyer. Each layer takes a cut. You see a fraction of the price.
Opaque pricing
You're told "the market" pays $4 per tonne. The same credit retires for $8 on a corporate ESG report. Nobody explains the spread.
Slow buyer matching
Months of cold outreach to corporates and brokers, with no visibility into who's actually buying. Your credits sit while the registry validity ticks down.
Registry friction
Different platforms work with different registries. You end up listing on three of them or none of them, with administrative overhead either way.
Who we build for
We work with serious project developers across the climate spectrum.
Renewable Energy
Solar, wind, mini-hydro, biomass, and biogas projects generating CCCs, RECs, or voluntary credits.
Regenerative Agriculture
Soil carbon sequestration, no-till, cover cropping, agroforestry, and verified farm-level emission reductions.
Carbon Removal & DAC
Direct Air Capture, biochar, enhanced weathering, and other engineered or hybrid removal projects.
Waste & Methane
Landfill gas capture, wastewater treatment, organic waste composting, and methane abatement projects.
Cookstoves & Community
Improved cookstoves, water purification, household energy, and rural livelihood projects with co-benefits.
Why list with us
A marketplace built around fairness, not extraction.
We're climate people first, builders second. The platform we're making is the one we wished existed when we started looking at this market.
— 01
Direct access to verified buyers
Skip the broker daisy chain. Our network includes Indian and global corporates with mandatory and voluntary climate commitments — buyers who actually retire credits, not just resell them.
— 02
Transparent flat fees
One published fee, the same for everyone. Reasonably low fixed brokerage, no negotiated spreads, no taking advantage of information asymmetry.
— 03
Registry-agnostic by design
Get your credits verified or list your credits from any of the registries like Verra, Gold Standard, Puro.earth, ACR, CAR, GCC, or UCR. We meet you where your credits already live.
— 04
You stay in control
Credits remain in your registry account until a verified buyer is matched and the trade settles. We never take custody. You set your floor price.
— 05
Built in India, for the world
Indian-incorporated, globally focused. We understand both the rigour of international standards and the realities of project development in emerging markets.
— 06
Personal partnership
Pre-launch, every project developer gets a direct line to the founding team. Post-launch, dedicated support — not a ticketing system.
How it works
Three steps. No surprises.
01
Reach out
Book a 30-minute call with the founding team. Tell us about your project, your registry, the credits you have or expect to issue. No commitment.
02
Verify & list
We confirm credit details directly with the registry, agree on listing terms, and prepare your project profile. You decide your floor price and listing strategy.
03
Match & settle
When a verified buyer commits, the trade settles directly between your registry accounts. Funds flow directly. Our flat fee is invoiced separately. Done.
A note from the founder
"Every forest restored, every solar panel raised, every grain of soil regenerated, every tonne of carbon pulled from the sky — these are acts of repair. Yet the people doing this sacred work too often see only a fraction of what their efforts are truly worth, while the spread is harvested by those furthest from the soil. CREDAEX exists because the earth's accounting deserves better. We're building a marketplace that honours both the work and the people who do it."

Common questions
Honest answers to the things everyone asks.
We're targeting a beta launch in 2026. Pre-launch project developers who book a call with us now get priority access, listing visibility, and direct involvement in shaping how the platform works.
Listing is free. We charge a transparent flat percentage fee on completed trades, published openly on our pricing page at launch. No setup fees, reasonably low fixed brokerage, no exclusivity required.
At launch: Verra (VCS), Gold Standard, Puro.earth, ACR, CAR, GCC, and UCR. We're registry-agnostic by design — credits remain in your existing registry account, and we facilitate the matching and settlement layer.
No. CREDAEX is a marketplace, not a custodian. Your credits stay in your registry account until a verified buyer is matched and the trade is executed. Settlement happens directly between registry accounts.
For our launch model, payments flow directly between buyer and seller through their respective banking channels. CREDAEX invoices its platform fee separately. We're evaluating optional escrow and payment-routing partners for future releases.
No. CREDAEX is a marketplace facilitator that connects voluntary carbon credit buyers and sellers. We do not operate a regulated power exchange under the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC) framework, and we do not deal in Indian Carbon Credit Certificates (CCCs) issued under the Carbon Credit Trading Scheme, 2023. We focus on the global voluntary carbon market.
CREDAEX is operated by Credex Energy Mines Pvt Ltd, a private limited company incorporated in Maharashtra, India under the Companies Act, 2013. Founded by Karan Vikas Dangat and Monika Karan Dangat. Our MOA specifically authorises operation of a technology-driven platform for origination, aggregation, validation, verification, trading, transfer and retirement of carbon credits in India and internationally.
