SmarterMarkets™ is a place for conversations. Bringing together global experts and visionaries, we aim to identify practical market-based solutions for our biggest challenges — including the energy transition. SmarterMarkets™ is made possible through the support of the teams at Abaxx Technologies, Abaxx Exchange and Base Carbon.

Abaxx Technologies is building Smarter Markets: markets empowered by better tools, better benchmarks and better technology to drive market-based solutions to the biggest challenges that we face as a society, including climate change and the energy transition.

In addition to developing and deploying financial technologies that make communication, trade, and transactions easier and more secure, Abaxx is the indirect majority shareholder of Abaxx Singapore Pte Ltd. (“Abaxx Singapore”), the owner of Abaxx Commodity Exchange and Clearinghouse, licensed by the Monetary Authority of Singapore, to support trading and risk management with physically-settled benchmark futures contracts in the commodity markets at the center of the energy transition to an electrified, low-carbon emissions economy. Abaxx is also a founding shareholder in Base Carbon Inc.

Abaxx Commodity Futures Exchange and Clearinghouse (Abaxx Exchange) introduces centrally cleared, physically delivered futures contracts and derivatives to deliver better price signals, better risk management and an enhanced market ecosystem enabling energy and commodity markets to accelerate the energy transition.

Licensed as an Recognised Market Operator (RMO) and an Approved Clearinghouse (ACH) by the Monetary Authority of Singapore, the Exchange’s initial product suite includes five new centrally-cleared, physically-deliverable commodity futures contracts in LNG and Carbon to be soon followed by continued solutions for Battery Metals, including Nickel Sulphate.

Base Carbon is a financier of projects involved primarily in the global voluntary carbon markets. We endeavor to be the preferred carbon project partner in providing capital and management resources to carbon removal and abatement projects globally and, where appropriate, will utilize technologies within the evolving environmental industries to enhance efficiencies, commercial credibility, and trading transparency.
