Abstract
Innovative financial services may help to reduce global carbon emissions. We examine the activity in trading of voluntary carbon credits on a new blockchain-based exchange, which reduces the amount of intermediation in this market. Over the years 2021 and 2022, about 3.8 million tCO2e tokens have been tokenized on the carbon token exchange, of which about 2.8 million tCO2e tokens have been burned, leaving 1.0 million tCO2 tokens available for purchase on the exchange. Over these two years, the total secondary market trading turnover has been $ 21.2 million. Trading liquidity is limited to only a few types of carbon credit tokens. The prices of these most liquid tokens move in line with prices of similar carbon projects available for purchase elsewhere.
