Who buys Carbon Credits?

Currently in the U.S., the Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX) is the only recognized commodity based trading market for carbon credits. The commodity traded on the CCX is a Carbon Financial Instrument (CFI) contract which represents 100 metric tons of CO2e. Smaller landowners do not sequester enough carbon on their land to meet this minimum requirement. Therefore, they must sell through an aggregator.
