Carbon Merchant is a specialist advisory and marketing firm built by market participants, for market participants. We sit in the flow of live transactions across Canadian compliance markets and the global voluntary market — and we put that flow to work for our clients.
Every mandate answers the same questions: how does this position create value, and how does it get executed at the right price?
Origination, structuring, and execution across Alberta TIER, BC OBPS, the federal Clean Fuel Regulations, and BC LCFS.
Explore →Face-to-market representation for high-quality projects, and disciplined procurement for buyers navigating a fragmented voluntary landscape.
Explore →Commercial judgment for boards, desks, and developers — grounded in live transaction experience, not theory.
Explore →We work two ways: agency or advisory. You'll know which one before we start.
We represent your credits or your procurement mandate in market — origination, negotiation, and execution under a clear marketing agreement. Through discovery and negotiation, the market deals with Carbon Merchant; your name enters only at confirmation, with the counterparty you contract with.
Retained or project-based counsel on structure, pricing logic, and market timing — for teams that need a desk's judgment without building one.
If you recognize your desk in either of these, you're the client this firm was built for.
Developers with credits at, approaching, or past issuance who need a face to market. We take your product to counterparties — spot volumes and medium- and long-term offtakes — negotiate structure, and close, under agreements that align our economics with your realized price.
Regulated emitters, primary suppliers, and obligated parties managing exposure across TIER, OBPS, CFR, and LCFS. We build procurement strategy, source supply, and execute — so compliance becomes a managed position, not an annual scramble.
Post-FID, at validation, at issuance, and post-issuance — issued credits, spot sales, and term offtakes are as much our mandate as first monetization. We don't sell feasibility studies — we sell execution.
Thirty confidential minutes on your position. You leave with a market read and one concrete next move — whether or not we go further.
A clear agreement: scope, economics, and which hat we're wearing — agency or advisory — stated before any work begins.
Origination and negotiation run in our name. At confirmation, you contract directly with the counterparty you've chosen.
Through price discovery and negotiation, the market sees Carbon Merchant — not you. Your name is disclosed only at confirmation, to the one counterparty you've chosen to contract with. Everyone you didn't trade with never learns you were in the market.
We engage where commercial outcomes are decided — post-FID, at validation, at issuance, and post-issuance — and we execute quietly. No client is named, referenced, or implied in our marketing, our conversations, or our content. Ever.Thirty minutes. You bring the position — the obligation, the credits, or the deal. Here's what you leave with, whether or not we ever work together:
