The broadened partnership will help extend the reach and accessibility of actionable market and ratings data, providing market participants with the information to invest in carbon projects with impact.
Global carbon ratings agency, BeZero Carbon, and market infrastructure provider, Xpansiv, today announce the expansion of their partnership to make BeZero’s headline ratings accessible on the Xpansiv Connect™ portfolio management system and CBL, the world’s largest spot carbon exchange.
This builds on the companies’ existing partnership, which added BeZero’s carbon ratings to the Xpansiv Data and Analytics daily pricing service and historical data series. BeZero’s ratings will now be available on Xpansiv’s portfolio management system, Xpansiv Connect™, and the Xpansiv CBL spot exchange and partner exchanges, JSE Ventures Carbon Market and the Aviation Carbon Exchange (ACE). BeZero’s ratings will also be available as an optional add-on for third-party market operators using Xpansiv’s trading technology.
The partnership will significantly expand the reach and accessibility of quality carbon project data, providing market participants with the information to make better investment decisions and channel capital to where it will have the most impact.
BeZero’s ratings provide a risk-based assessment of a carbon project's likelihood of avoiding or removing one tonne of CO₂e, ranging from AAA (highest likelihood) to D (lowest likelihood). This standardised approach helps market participants better understand the quality of carbon credit investments.
Xpansiv is the leading infrastructure provider for the global energy transition markets. Its end-to-end technology platform connects diverse markets and participants worldwide, playing a pivotal role in scaling the energy transition.
This partnership further embeds ratings within Xpansiv’s carbon market infrastructure, with future plans to integrate Xpansiv’s pricing data into BeZero’s platform, BeZero Carbon Markets.
Tommy Ricketts, Co-founder and CEO at BeZero Carbon, said:
"We’ve partnered with Xpansiv for almost three years now, and we’re proud to be deepening our relationship to deliver the BeZero Carbon Rating across its trading and portfolio management platforms. Ratings are essential to the functioning of carbon markets, and already some of the biggest businesses rely on our analysis for the clarity they need to invest in high-quality credits. This partnership will further expand access to our ratings, helping even more market participants make informed climate decisions.”
Nathan Rockliff, Chief Strategy Officer at Xpansiv, said:
“Xpansiv market infrastructure, portfolio management system, trading and data platforms are a key source of transparent market and reference data for environmental commodity market participants worldwide. Providing BeZero’s headline ratings will be a natural extension of our aggregated market view for carbon market participants.”
