The basics

Carbon2O2 is a technology-enabled marketplace that facilitates the procurement, digital custody, transfer, inventory management and retirement of verified environmental assets. It connects approved participants with registry-supported assets through secure digital infrastructure built for transparency and operational efficiency.

MarketplaceOverview

No. Carbon2O2 is not a token, utility token or cryptocurrency, and it is not a token marketplace. It is a marketplace operator and technology provider for verified environmental assets. Any distributed-ledger tools used serve as supporting infrastructure — never as a product or investment.

Not a tokenPositioning

No. Environmental assets originate from qualified projects and are verified by recognized registries. Carbon2O2 does not create, verify, certify or guarantee any asset — it provides the marketplace infrastructure and administrative services that let approved participants transact them.

RegistriesOur role

An environmental asset is a verified environmental instrument — such as a carbon credit — recognized under an applicable registry and originated by a qualified project. The asset is the product; everything Carbon2O2 provides sits underneath it to help it move cleanly.

AssetsDefinitions
Participation

Approved Marketplace Participants who complete onboarding and compliance review. That includes corporate purchasers, project developers, environmental asset owners, brokers, sustainability advisors, registry participants and other approved organizations. Individuals can also create a personal account to acquire and retire assets.

ParticipantsEligibility

There are three paths. Credit Holder — for asset owners and project developers bringing verified assets to the marketplace. Individual — for people offsetting their own footprint. Company — for organizations needing full corporate marketplace access with formal onboarding.

You choose your path on the Create account page.

Account typesGetting started

Organizations and asset suppliers complete a standardized process: submit the Corporate Participant Onboarding Package (entity details, authorized representatives, beneficial ownership), execute the Marketplace Participation Agreement and Marketplace Rules, pass compliance screening, and receive account approval.

Completing onboarding does not by itself obligate Carbon2O2 to approve participation — approval remains at the Company's discretion.

OnboardingCompliance

No. There is no token to buy and no wallet to install. Access to the marketplace runs entirely through a standard account and, for organizations and suppliers, a corporate onboarding process.

Assets & registries

Verified environmental assets originate with qualified projects and recognized registries. Carbon2O2 integrates with those registries so their data can support transparency, chain-of-custody information, inventory management and retirement workflows.

RegistriesSourcing

Carbon2O2 is designed to operate alongside recognized registries, not replace them. The registry verifies, issues and maintains the underlying asset; Carbon2O2 provides the marketplace, digital custody and record-keeping. It relies on the applicable registry or project documentation for verification.

IntegrationRoles

Ownership remains with the applicable holder, purchaser or project developer, except where a separate written custodial arrangement provides otherwise. Carbon2O2 facilitates transactions and provides digital custody and record-keeping — maintaining custody records does not make it the owner.

OwnershipCustody
Certificates & custody

A digital certificate is an administrative record that evidences rights associated with an underlying environmental asset — supporting custody, transfer, inventory management and retirement workflows. It is not the product being sold, has no independent value, and shouldn't be interpreted apart from the asset it represents.

CertificatesRecords

No. Digital certificates are not marketed as investment products, collectibles or stores of value. They are operational records that make administration efficient. Nothing on the marketplace is offered for appreciation or financial return.

Not an investmentCertificates

Digital custody means your holdings are administered as digital records — inventory, status, provenance and supporting documentation in one place. It is administrative and record-keeping in nature; ownership stays with the holder except under a separate custodial arrangement.

CustodyRecords

Chain of custody is the unbroken operational history of an asset — commercially reasonable records reflecting movement, transfers, custody events and retirement. Where appropriate, participants can access documentation identifying the originating project, registry information and transaction history.

Chain of custodyTransparency
Buying & retiring

Once approved, a participant searches available verified assets, reviews the supporting project information, and submits a transaction request through the marketplace. On completion, you receive confirmation and the asset enters your digital custody with its records attached.

AcquireLifecycle

Eligible assets transfer between approved participants only. Every transfer is recorded and screened; there is no anonymous trading and no public order book. Carbon2O2 may reject, suspend or reverse a transaction on evidence of fraud, sanctions exposure or market abuse.

TransferControls

Participants submit retirement instructions through the marketplace. On satisfaction of applicable requirements, Carbon2O2 facilitates the retirement workflow and records the retirement event with supporting documentation. Retirement is the permanent removal of an asset from active use — counted once, for one owner.

RetirePermanent

Yes. Participants draw on the transparent operational history — including documented retirements — for sustainability reporting, voluntary emissions strategies and internal environmental accounting. The record that begins at acquisition becomes a complete, auditable story.

ReportingRecords
Compliance & trust

No. Carbon2O2 is a closed, compliance-screened environment. There is no anonymous trading and no public order book. Every participant is known, and every transfer and retirement carries a clear identity behind it.

ComplianceIntegrity

Participation is subject to onboarding, identity verification, Know Your Business review, sanctions screening where appropriate, and ongoing compliance monitoring. Carbon2O2 may request additional information and may deny, suspend or terminate participation under the Marketplace Participation Agreement and Marketplace Rules.

KYBScreening

Carbon2O2 employs commercially reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect confidential information, personal information and marketplace data, supported by its Information Security Policy and Incident Response Policy.
