How to buy carbon credits

To create a listing and sell carbon credits in the Marketplace, you first need to acquire tokens for a specific carbon offset project. There are two ways to do this in Carbonmark:
  • Buying (redeeming) from a carbon pool
  • Buying directly from a Marketplace seller

OPTION #1: Buy/redeem from a carbon pool.

1. Within the Marketplace, find a project you are interested in and click the project card to see the project details.

2. On the project details page, find the Carbon Pool listing and click "BUY".

3. On the Buy page, select the quantity of tonnes to purchase.

4. Click "CONTINUE"
