American Weather and Climate Industry Association
NCX connects corporations to the landowners, habitats, and communities they impact through our carbon marketplace. By drawing on our years of precision forest management, we enable net-zero pioneers to purchase carbon credits with immediate, verifiable impact and landowners to quantify the full value of their forests.
As the number-one provider of high-quality carbon credits, we aim to connect every American landowner to net-zero pioneers.
Make an impact in your own backyard. Pursue your sustainability goals by investing in the forests and communities of your choice via NCX. Thanks to our net-zero pioneers, the endangered Piney Woods of Texas and Louisiana will have a denser, more mature timber basket in 2022. It’s just one of the inspirational stories made possible by teams of carbon-smart companies and American landowners interested in sustainable forest management at NCX.
Counter deforestation to support at-risk species. Scarlet tanagers establish habitat in forest canopies in the eastern US, and these songbirds are sensitive to forest fragmentation and forest cover reduction. Thanks to net-zero pioneers, larger tracts of forests are now left undisturbed, allowing tanagers to thrive in smaller habitats and dine on one of their favorite treats: paper wasps.
Through NCX, landowners, carbon credit buyers, customers, and nature team up for climate action. Net-zero pioneers can target their impact in local communities, thereby reinvesting in their customers, their employees, and their land. Efforts can support rural family landowners that use their NCX income to pay property taxes, schools such as Mississippi State University, and landowners who have the ability to improve hundreds of thousands of acres of wildlife habitat.
Our founders spent ten years entrenched in the forest management community, bearing witness to how landowners monetized their forests in a single market: the timber industry. So we took to heart a simple idea: measurements make markets. With data from forestry, economics, and geography, we built Basemap: the scientific foundation of our carbon exchange. At NCX, we help landowners monetize their forests and carbon-smart companies advance their net-zero goals.
The process is simple. The impact is real.
To reach net-zero by 2050, we all have roles to play. At NCX, we invite all US landowners, regardless of parcel size, to enroll in our exchange for free. NCX buyers celebrate their connections with family foresters as part of their commitment to a net-zero future.
A carbon exchange is only as good as its data, which is why we measure every acre, of every property, every year, for every available value. Our biometricians regularly update Basemap datasets to assess habitat quality and harvest deferral strategies, on properties across the country, with unparalleled precision.
We foster trust in our exchange through transparency and scientific know-how. With the help of NGOs, leading academics, and top-notch economists, we deliver precise valuations for our exchange, so carbon-smart companies—and up to 1.5 million US forest owners—can confidently buy and sell carbon credits for impact.
