Climate Impact X and Carbonplace have agreed to merge, combining carbon credit trading and price discovery with portfolio management, multi-registry access, settlement and custody infrastructure. The transaction remains subject to approval by the Monetary Authority of Singapore. CIX CEO Oi-Yee Choo will lead the combined business, while Carbonplace CEO Scott Eaton will become President. Both companies will retain their existing brands during integration, expected to conclude in the first quarter of 2027. The merger responds to institutional demand for simpler, auditable transactions spanning sourcing, trading, settlement, holding and retirement. It also positions the combined platform for expanding Article 6 activity, CORSIA demand and carbon-market financing. Shareholders will include major global banks, SGX Group, GenZero and other financial institutions and climate investors.

Gold Standard and Verra have jointly launched a reporting tool to help host countries account for corresponding adjustments for carbon credits authorized under Article 6.2 of the Paris Agreement. The tool consolidates authorized credits issued by both standards into a single record and automatically prepares the required summary table based on each country’s Article 6 accounting approach. The information is intended to support submissions accompanying countries’ 2026 Biennial Transparency Reports. Corresponding adjustments prevent the same emission reduction from being counted by both the host country and another user, including an acquiring country or an airline under CORSIA. By replacing the need to reconcile two separate systems, the tool aims to improve reporting efficiency, reduce errors, support consistency and strengthen confidence in authorized carbon credits.

Indonesia is strengthening its carbon market infrastructure through the Carbon Unit Registration System, or SRUK, launched on 9 July. The national registry records the complete lifecycle of carbon units, covering project registration, issuance, ownership transfers, trading and retirement across mitigation activities in multiple sectors. It also serves as the single source of truth for Indonesia’s Carbon Economic Value framework. When transactions occur on the Carbon Exchange, SRUK automatically updates unit ownership, status, trading volume and intended use, ensuring consistency between exchange records and the government registry. The system is designed to improve traceability, clarify ownership, prevent double counting and provide greater regulatory certainty for investors and project developers. Built in line with international registry standards and supported by blockchain technology developed with IDX Carbon, SRUK is expected to strengthen market integrity, attract green investment and support Indonesia’s NDC, climate finance and carbon economy ambitions.

The World Bank Group approved the US$200 million Low Carbon Cities and Carbon Market Development Project to help Thailand scale public-sector investments in renewable energy, energy efficiency and carbon-market infrastructure. Private energy service companies will finance and implement upgrades, while participating agencies repay costs through energy savings. EXIM Bank will finance qualified service companies, initially supporting cooperation with the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration and the Industrial Estate Authority of Thailand. Krungthai Bank will aggregate carbon credits from smaller projects and connect them to carbon markets. The project will install rooftop solar and improve energy efficiency in public buildings, industrial estates, schools, healthcare facilities, district offices and streetlighting. Its targets include up to 180 MW of renewable-energy capacity, annual electricity savings of approximately 448 GWh and at least 1,800 job-years.

Indonesia has launched its national Carbon Unit Registry System (SRUK), an international-standard digital platform designed to track carbon units throughout their lifecycle and strengthen market integrity, transparency and credibility. The system aims to prevent double counting and fraud while ensuring emissions reductions are measured, independently verified and recorded. Backed by Environment Ministry Regulation No. 10/2026, SRUK will connect carbon economic instruments and stakeholders and is designed to interoperate with IDX Carbon and international registries. Built using Climate Data Steering Committee standards, the platform has received international recognition for its transparency, accountability and data quality. It will initially support 49 SPEI projects across energy, waste, forestry and agriculture, which are expected to reduce emissions by approximately 5.85 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalent annually.
