Envex is a company which develops financial instruments for emissions trading under the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme and other environmental markets in Australia.


History

[edit]

The company was founded in February 2008 as a joint venture between Macquarie Group Limited and the Financial and Energy Exchange. In July of the same year Climate Exchange PLC, owner of the European Climate Exchange and the Chicago Climate Exchange, acquired a 25% stake in Envex [1]

The core focus of Envex's work is to develop tradable contracts for Over-the-counter (finance) and Exchange trading to "enable trading in a range of environmental products" in the Australian markets[2]. These include financial instruments related to the underlying units of the Mandatory Renewable Energy Target scheme, the Australian Emissions Trading Scheme ( a proposed initiative of the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme) and the New South Wales Greenhouse Gas Abatement Scheme.
