DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–EcoSecurities (LSE:ECO), one of the leading companies in the business of sourcing, developing and trading carbon credits worldwide, makes its first APX Registry transfer of Voluntary Carbon Units (VCUs) to The CarbonNeutral Company, a world leading carbon offset and carbon management business. These Verified Emission Reductions (VERs), verified to the Voluntary Carbon Standard (VCS) were transferred following the successful registration and issuance of VCUs from a wind project based in India.
The launch of the VCS registries allows for the issuance and electronic transfer of VERs which have been verified to the VCS and have been approved according to the published VCS guidelines. APX was recently announced as being authorised by the Voluntary Carbon Standards Association to issue VCUs and as such provide buyers of carbon credits with unique identification, transparency, authenticity and traceability from origin, issuance and electronic transfer of ownership or retirement of credits as required. Details regarding this project and VCU issuance can be found on the APX Registry worldwide public reports at www.vcsregistry.com.
Lisa Ashford, Global Head of Voluntary and New Markets at EcoSecurities stated “The launch of the Voluntary Carbon Standard registries is a landmark for the Voluntary Carbon Market. Being able to electronically hold and transfer Voluntary Carbon Units through a proven registry service is extremely exciting and marks another step forward in the development of the Voluntary Carbon Market, ensuring increased transparency and security for both project developers and buyers of carbon offsets”.
