Puro.earth: The World's Leading Carbon Removal Platform
Growing Nasdaq's ESG offering to support corporate client sustainability efforts
The addition of Puro.earth to our growing suite of innovative ESG products and services extends our strategy into an increasingly important area for our 4,000+ corporate clients worldwide.
The CORC Index family is the world’s first indexes to focus exclusively on tracking the price of carbon removal from the atmosphere.
Nasdaq in collaboration with Puro.earth have created three commodity reference price indexes, based on Puro.earth's Carbon Removal Certificates (CORCs). The objective is to increase transparency in the carbon removal market, helping corporates understand the cost of cutting their carbon emissions and supporting more informed project financing decisions.
The Index family consists of a composite index that tracks the price of all carbon removal transactions as well as a separate index for biochar and bio-based construction materials.

Please be aware that from January 2023, Puro.earth will increase the minimum threshold for carbon removal durability to 100 years.

This change will also affect the CORCX index as no method other than biochar meets the minimum threshold.
