Peerless VCM Data for Projects and Benchmarks

Xpansiv market data and analytics enable market participants to measure, model, and weigh risks and opportunities with greater confidence and clarity.

Comprised of firm bid/offer and transaction details, Xpansiv data covers hundreds of project-specific credits as well as GEO® standardized contracts traded on Xpansiv market CBL—the leading spot exchange in environmental markets.

Neutral, multicontributor exchange data is more robust than pricing from opaque, fragmented legacy sources. This data generates more accurate, reliable signals in trading, valuation, and risk models.

CBL accounts for 95+% of global spot volume traded on exchanges
CBL’s spot market participants account for 250M+ tCO2e traded since 2020
$1.3B+ value of carbon credits traded in 2021 and 2022

One Suite of Benchmarks Priced by Three Market Leaders

Xpansiv has developed strategic partnerships with CME Group and S&P Global Commodity Insights—two of the largest, most highly regarded names in global commodity markets.

CME Group trades futures on CBL’s N-GEO, GEO, and C-GEO contracts, with more than 200 million tons transacted since launch. Futures data provides a rich set of front-month and multi-year forward data that complements the spot market data available from Xpansiv.

S&P Global Commodity Insights provides daily assessments of carbon benchmarks via its authoritative, transparent pricing methodology. These assessments are used to settle CBL’s suite of GEO standardized spot contracts.

For market participants, this triumvirate provides robust spot and futures transaction data via Xpansiv and CME Group, as well as assessed end-of-day pricing from S&P Global Commodity Insights—an unparalleled choice in the voluntary carbon market.
