APX's VCS Registry provides carbon market participants with a secure, web-based system to create, verify, track, trade and retire Voluntary Carbon Units (VCUs). The Registry is currently open for preliminary account holder registration. Regarding project registration, the APX VCS registry is not open for registration and can not issue VCUs until early October. The Registry supports the VCS Association’s objectives to provide credibility to the voluntary markets, as well as to enhance business, consumer, and government confidence. Extensive public reports make the VCS system open and transparent.

VCUs represent approximately one third of the voluntary carbon market worldwide, making VCS the most widely used carbon offset standard. No matter the business or type of market participant – project developer, corporation, bank, broker, investor or verifier – market integrity and security are essential to ensure the continued dramatic growth of VCU transactions and the voluntary carbon markets.

The Registry creates trusted and tradable voluntary offset credits, provides a clear chain of ownership that prevents double-counting, and stimulates investments in emissions reductions and low carbon solutions. The registry coordinates the project registration process, provides public access to approved VCS projects and is fully integrated with the VCS Project Database.

 “The origination and tracking of the underlying environmental commodities – along with all related documentation and full transparency – form the cornerstone of trust and environmental integrity in the market we serve.”

                                                                  - Mark Kenber, Chair of the VCS Association
