Mubadala buys stake in AirCarbon Exchange

Mubadala Investment Company PJSC (Mubadala) and AirCarbon Exchange (ACX) have finalized a transaction in which Mubadala has purchased a share in ACX, enabling ACX to construct the first fully regulated carbon trading exchange and carbon clearing house in Abu Dhabi, UAE.

ACX is a global exchange for environmental commodities that utilizes distributed ledger technology within the framework of traditional commodity trade. It uses blockchain architecture to construct carbon credit securities, which enables corporations to exchange and finance carbon credits in the same manner as conventional financial assets, hence increasing involvement and investment in global carbon reduction and offsetting programs.
