Traders/Brokers

The Reserve provides a tool to register projects and track their associated emission reductions. It is not a place where anything is bought, sold, or traded. The actual sale or purchase of CRTs takes place directly between a buyer and seller outside of the Reserve. After a sale takes place, the parties inform the Reserve and the CRTs are moved from one account to another.



In order to track CRTs that you have bought or sold elsewhere, you will first need a Reserve account. Using the Reserve software, traders, brokers, and retailers will be able to: 
 

  • View and manage your CRT balance
  • Group your CRTs into accounts based on your own criteria
  • Record prior sales of CRTs
  • Record prior purchases of CRTs
  • Post available CRTs on the Available CRTs Board
  • Display selected CRTs to the public
  • Display your retired CRTs to the public
