Trade Carbon for Oxygen with OFFSETx
Understanding the Market: Eveybody confuses carbon quotas with carbon credits. Credits represent reduced emissions certified by
third parties (4bn market), while quotas are government-issued permits to emit carbon (900bn market). Both are vital to a $1 trillion
market that incentivizes companies to reduce pollution
The Problem: OFFSETx was born from our frustrating experience
purchasing a carbon quota. It was costly, confusing, and time
consuming. We discovered that small industrial businesses face the same challenge, and without access to quotas, they risk hefty fines. The root issue is clear: SMEs are largely excluded from the
financial systems essential for decarbonization
Our Solution: OFFSETx connects industrials via a single digital
platform, providing simple, open, and low-cost access to carbon markets. This platform empowers SMEs, 99% of EU companies, to
efficiently transition to clean energy without needing a professional trading license or costly collateral
