"Once ACX's clearing house is operational, it will provide companies across the world access finance by using their carbon holdings as collateral. If global ambitions for climate are to be met, carbon credits will have to become a larger asset class than oil! And if the UAE continues to work with ACX to build the wider carbon ecosystem, then it will become one of, if not the, major trading centers of the world for carbon credits."
