Waste oil carbon credits, answered plainly

One CXF credit represents 1 tonne of CO₂-equivalent avoided through documented, desk-validated waste-oil collection or re-refining, quantified under the published CXF Methodology. CXF credits are proprietary platform instruments of CarbonXFuture Markets, Inc. — they are not credits issued by Verra, Gold Standard, ACR or CAR, and we say so everywhere they appear.

Under the CXF Quantification Methodology v1.0-draft (pending independent expert opinion): collection (CXF-CO) 6.3 tCO₂ per 1,000 US gallons — but only for volumes with a demonstrated uncontrolled-combustion baseline meeting strict eligibility conditions (E1–E4); volumes diverted from energy-service burning or from dumping earn 0 GHG credits. Re-refining (CXF-RR): Tier 1 default 0.60 tCO₂e per 1,000 gallons, or up to ≈1.3 with measured facility data (Tier 2) — quantified as displacement of virgin base-oil production, with an additionality guard (existing facilities credit only production above their 3-year historical maximum). A given volume can be claimed under one contract type only. CXF-FC (full chain) is not offered — it would double count. Full derivations in the methodology; final quantities always follow desk validation of documented volumes.

A licensed used-oil operation (in Florida: FDEP registration; equivalents elsewhere), basic company information for KYC review, and about ten minutes: log in / sign up with your email and complete the short onboarding. The desk reviews within 24–48 business hours.

You log into the member portal, enter the month's gallons and processing method, and attach evidence. The platform calculates indicative credits instantly; the CarbonXFuture desk then reviews the report item by item before anything is validated or listed.

Weighbridge tickets, manifests, delivery receipts, production logs, permits and operating licenses — the documents your business already produces. Evidence identifies volumes by date and facility, which is how the registry prevents the same gallons from being claimed twice.

Two revenue lines. Credits: validated credits are listed on the marketplace; buyers submit quote requests and transactions settle bilaterally through the desk, payment against documentation. Physical oil: the same gallons can be listed on the Feedstock Market for sale to processors. CarbonXFuture charges membership subscriptions — no commissions or markups are added to your transactions.

$199/month for collectors and service shops, $299/month for processors and re-refineries — with the first 3 months free (card on file, cancel anytime during the trial). The first 25 members lock founding terms. Details on the membership page.

Three, each tied to a public serial: a Statement of Issuance when your validated activity is serialized in the registry; a Transfer Confirmation when a batch changes hands; and the buyer's Retirement Certificate when credits are permanently retired. Only retirement supports an emissions-offset claim — the paperwork says so explicitly, which is what keeps every party's claims honest.

Every batch has a public serial in the CXF Registry — status, quantity, vintage and contract code, checkable by anyone without an account. Retirement certificates verify at /verify. Ownership and prices stay private; the integrity layer is public.

No, and we never present them as such. CXF credits are desk-validated platform units under a published methodology anchored to ACR/IPCC parameters. A project seeking registry-issued credits must separately complete that registry's validation, verification and issuance process. What CXF offers is speed, full traceability and a sector — waste oil — that mainstream registries largely overlook.

Weekly indicative desk marks, published every Monday on the CXF Price Index with full history, open data access, daily physical-market references from the U.S. EIA (WTI, Brent, diesel) and — when the desk has sufficient market colour — weekly feedstock marks for VGO (US Gulf Coast) and used motor oil (US Gulf). Feedstock marks are desk assessments, not Platts or Argus prices. The assessment basis is described in the index methodology. Marks are indicative — actual transactions are negotiated bilaterally.

The CarbonXFuture desk validates every report item by item against the published methodology, with documentary evidence required for every claim. External expert review of the methodology and registry framework is on the roadmap and its status is disclosed on the methodology page — we do not represent any external validation as having occurred unless expressly identified.
