Carbon Merchant is a specialist advisory and marketing firm built by market practitioners, for market practitioners. 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, brokering, structuring, and execution across Alberta TIER, BC OBPS, Federal OBPS, the federal Clean Fuel Regulations, and BC LCFS.

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 advisory on structure, pricing logic, and market timing — for teams that need a desk's judgment without building one.
Where a mandate needs more than a desk, we bring in trusted specialist partners across the project lifecycle: technical developers, consultants, and verifiers. You contract with each directly; we coordinate the work and keep the standard consistent.
If you recognize your desk in either of these, you're the client this firm was built for.
Regulated emitters, primary suppliers, and obligated parties managing exposure across TIER, OBPS, CFR, and LCFS, alongside corporate teams procuring voluntary credits against net-zero and sustainability commitments. We build procurement strategy, source supply, and execute, so compliance and voluntary programs alike become a managed position, not an annual scramble.
Credit creators across Canadian compliance markets: AB TIER and OBPS emission offsets and EPCs, and CFR and BC LCFS credits, approaching, at, or post issuance. We market, negotiate, and execute as your face to demand. Voluntary market mandates are taken selectively, for high-integrity projects nearing or at issuance that align with demand signals for project types, geographies, and approved registries.
Carbon Merchant was built by people who came up through power and energy markets. For select mandates beyond environmental commodities, we facilitate engagements through a trusted partner network: wholesale power and natural gas procurement for government, institutional, industrial, commercial, and utility clients, tariff optimization and regulated utility agreements, power project engineering from gas-fired generation to data centre development, and financing and regulatory support for energy transition projects. One commercial standard applies throughout. If the mandate is real, we connect you to the right partner and stay close through the engagement.
