The World’s Energy
Transition Marketplace
Making carbon the currency that funds the world’s energy transition while preserving and restoring the world’s natural resources.
Carbon is a Currency
- We believe that carbon is a currency, not a commodity.
- For companies and countries actively decarbonizing, carbon is an asset, not a liability.
- Carbon is the transition currency that can create a more sustainable world by enabling good intentions to become excellent investments.
For those seeking to neutralize their carbon footprint, carbon credits offer a way to contribute to the preservation and regeneration of the world’s most precious natural resources, providing countries and companies with an affordable currency that enables them to fund and accelerate their decarbonization for the betterment of all. We call this regenerative finance.
Carbon credits can enable countries and organizations to become green energy superpowers, rather than relying upon depleting extractive and polluting sources of energy.
The Problem:
- On One Side, are the Issuers of Credits:
Issuers are faced with a myriad of “certifying bodies”, different “methodologies” and brokers who all make fees and commissions (sometimes between 20 – 50%!) on their projects. Some of these Issuers are in developing countries and need much more of the proceeds in order to advance their conservation projects and energy transition.
- On The Other Side, are the Buyers of Credits:
Buyers are individuals who want to do their part, Corporations who want to act more responsibly, and Governments who need to hit emission reduction targets. Buyers have issues with accessing carbon credits because supply is controlled by brokers, they have concerns about the authenticity of the credits (double counting), and lack faith that a credit purchased will do what it claimed it would over the life of the credit (greenwashing).
By minimizing the information asymmetry between issuers and buyers, carbon credits can be more efficiently and transparently traded.

Our Story
Climate Capital emerged from a vision. Barbara Ann Bernard, a trusted advisor in investment banking and asset management, believed that if carbon were a currency, she could apply the lessons she learned about financing companies to financing a country’s energy transition. For carbon to be a currency, it required transparency and digitization, prices needed to be market-based, it required liquidity, and the ability to settle globally, 24/7. For carbon to become the transition currency, it needed an exchange.
