Home / About Us

Introducing Bursa Carbon Exchange

Bursa Carbon Exchange (BCX), Malaysia’s voluntary carbon market (VCM) exchange, is part of the nation’s commitment towards achieving net zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions as early as 2050. BCX is a spot exchange that facilitates the trading of high-quality carbon credits via standardised carbon contracts. Corporates may purchase these credits to offset their carbon footprint while the sale of carbon credits, in return, will help to finance and drive the development of domestic GHG emission reduction and removal solutions and projects.

We believe Bursa Carbon Exchange can serve as an important lever in realising Malaysia’s net zero greenhouse gas emissions aspiration, as well as supporting the private sector’s voluntary climate commitments and decarbonisation journey,”

Datuk Umar Swift
Chief Executive Officer, Bursa Malaysia
