Following Gold Standard’s announcement of attaching Paris Agreement Article 6 (“Article 6”) authorisation labels to carbon credits on its registry, we are pleased to share that CIX Trading Portal is now able to reflect these labels under a newly created column ‘A6 AUTH’. The new labels will specify the authorised uses of the respective credits, in line with the guidance from Article 6.2 – towards Nationally Determined Contributions (‘NDC’), international mitigation purposes (‘IMP’) or other purposes (‘Other’). An ‘All’ label reflects authorisation for all three uses.

Users may search (refer to Image 1) or filter (refer to Image 2) for instruments that have Article 6 authorisation labels on the CIX Trading Portal.

Following this, the three projects that have received the first Article 6 labels from Gold Standard – Improved Cook Stoves programme for Rwanda (GS1060), CPA 4 Improved Cook Stoves programme for Rwanda (GS4259) and CPA 5 Improved Cook Stoves programme for Rwanda (GS4261), have been added to the single project instrument list. In line with our spot exchange change governance process available here, Climate Impact X (CIX) continually monitors market conditions and analyses where updates are necessary.

Please ensure that the appropriate members of staff within your organisation and customers are advised of the content of this market notice. For any queries on this notice, please reach out to CIX’s support team at +65 3135 1620 or email support@climateimpactx.com.
