What does it cost to participate in the Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX)?
Both (fixed) start-up and (variable) ongoing costs are associated with participating in CCX. Startup requirements and costs include creation of a management plan (if not already established), and inventory and certification costs. Each of these can range widely in price, making a generic estimate difficult to determine. Contact any of the aggregators listed below, or send e-mail to carbon_inquiries@fs.fed.us, for a more accurate estimate. Ongoing participation costs include the aggregator fee (typically 10 percent of total revenue), verification fee ($0.25 per ton of CO2), and trading fee ($0.20 per ton of CO2).
