What is the Gold Standard Marketplace and what can be sold?
The Gold Standard Marketplace is an online portal through which project developers can sell their carbon credits to individuals, SMEs, corporations, and other organisations. The credits sold through the Marketplace are retired in real-time in the Impact Registry for full traceability and a certificate to document the purchase is provided directly to the buyer.
Only Gold Standard-certified, issued Voluntary Emissions Reductions (VERs) can be sold via the Gold Standard Marketplace.
The Marketplace also has an optional service called the “Marketplace Integration Kit”, which enables third parties to sell Gold Standard-certified credits through their website/app using an application programme interface (API) that connects to the Gold Standard Marketplace and Registry. The aim of this Integration Kit is to increase exposure to Gold Standard-certified projects in a quick, easy, and transparent way, helping to drive more finance directly to the projects. Project developers can choose whether or not to include projects in this Marketplace Integration Kit when submitting the online application form.
