Global Emissions Exchange

The Global Emissions Exchange (GEX) is a financial tool to curb manmade climate change by monetizing fractional emissions reductions. GEX describes itself as a "Fractional Carbon Exchange" with a patented platform - a carbon foot-printing and registration platform that qualifies, quantifies, tracks, and aggregates emissions reduction from single light bulbs to entire renewble energy projects. The GEX is considered to be the only "people's exchange" that provides full functionality to register energy conservation measures (ECMs) with related emissions reductions, trade accumulated emissions credits, and track emissions reduction programs or efforts. It was founded to promote universal participation in the green movement, as a financial tool to help alleviate man made climate change.

The GEX is the only fraction carbon emissions exchange. It operates using the patented GEX protocol verification aggregation and tracking engines that permit for accurate accumilations of emissions offsets for buying, selling, and exchanging. The GEX utilizes the Kyoto Gold Standard in qualifying emissions reductions.

Factional Carbon

As the "Fractional Carbon Exchange" it allows the user to register as little as one pound of CO2 reduction. The GEX is the only platform that adresses small, but cumulative emissions reductions. It's fractional design is structed to work with both large scale and grassroots efforts to reduce emissions and save energy, while producing verifiable energy savings and associated emissions reductions.

Platform Structure

The GEX is different from the other carbon emission exchanges (i.e. Chicago Climate Exchange) due to its structure. The GEX does not require any membership or membership fee and is open to the public - thus it is free for all types of users. It provides:

ECM tracking
Automatic aggregation
Automatic foot-printing
Control of CO2 use
Transparency
Customization
Trading Platform
Emissions Calculators

These factors are largely unique to the GEX and provides registrants complete control over energy and emissions reducation, thus leading to full transprency. The registrant also controls how their emission credits are used - they can be sold, offset, swapped, allocated, traded, or left to expire. The GEX serves as a financial tool for individuals, companies, manufacturers, govenments, and others to monetize emission reductions.

Functionality

The GEX is an electronic meeting & matching place where manufacturers of energy conserving or renewable technologies can list products, technology, and services that are available to the public. In turn, users of the technology can register purchases and implementations to receive associated emissions reduction credits. There are no membership fees or dues.

The GEX assumes legal title to emissions reductions to permit aggregation. A portion of the emissions credits accrue to the GEX as income. Registrants retain control over remaining emissions by proxy and determine how credits are used.

Standards

The GEX utilizes the Kyoto Gold Standard in qualifying emissions reductions. This standard requires stringent guidelines for the emissions reduction protocol, however, it does not require specific adherence to International Organization for Standardization (ISO) testing or independant laborator verification. GEX standards are considered more strigent than the Kyoto Gold Standard, in that is applies ISO testing and verification when available or actual emissions reductions verified by independent testing. Estimates and approximations are not used for GEX verified protocols. Actual reductions must be submitted that can be converted into appropriate emissions offsets.
