Xpansiv Partners With NH Investment & Securities to Expand Carbon and Renewable Credit Trading in Asian Markets

Xpansiv, the leading infrastructure provider for global energy transition markets, has entered into a strategic partnership with NH Investment & Securities Co., Ltd. (NHIS), one of Korea's prominent financial institutions. The collaboration was formalized through a Memorandum of Understanding that outlines plans to expand access to carbon and renewable energy certificate markets in Korea and internationally.

The agreement positions NHIS to become a participant on Xpansiv's CBL spot exchange, which operates as the largest spot exchange for environmental commodities globally. Additionally, NHIS will leverage the Xpansiv Connect portfolio management system to support client trading activity in environmental commodity markets. This technological integration represents a significant step in bridging Korean financial markets with global sustainability trading platforms.

KunHoo Park, Managing Director at NHIS, emphasized the strategic importance of the partnership, stating that it will enable the delivery of innovative advisory services and advanced technology solutions to empower clients in accessing both carbon and renewable energy certificate markets. The collaboration supports NHIS's commitment to advancing sustainable finance and providing clients with effective tools to achieve their environmental objectives.

John Melby, CEO of Xpansiv, characterized the partnership as a significant advancement for Korea's environmental commodities markets through innovation and collaboration. He noted that NHIS's position as a trusted corporate advisor will facilitate market adoption by companies implementing comprehensive net-zero and emission-reduction programs. The partnership leverages NHIS's established role as a key market maker for the Korea Emission Trading Scheme (K-ETS) and its position as a premier service provider for the Voluntary Carbon Market.

The collaboration brings together Xpansiv's comprehensive infrastructure, which includes registry systems for energy, power, and environmental markets, along with its market data services for environmental and energy commodities. NHIS contributes its expertise in climate finance, including emissions brokerage, carbon offset project advisory, and guidance on global mechanisms such as CORSIA and Article 6 of the Paris Agreement.

The collaboration between a global market infrastructure provider and a leading Korean financial institution could accelerate the development of carbon and renewable credit markets throughout Asia, potentially influencing how corporations across multiple sectors approach their sustainability commitments and climate action strategies.
