Transferring CDRCs

You cannot transfer CDRCs for a privately negotiated price to a new owner, even if the certificates are listed on the BidCarbon marketplace transfer list.

The new owner will take over the certificates and their position on the BidCarbon marketplace transfer list.

How to transfer CDRCs

1. Log in to your BUC Registry account

2. Select the 'certificates and transfer' menu heading

3. Select ‘transfer certificates’ on the page.

4. Click for 'transfer certificates' button

5. You will be redirected to the Certificates Market Register page. Enter the 'holding account ID' and select the status ‘pending BidCarbon marketplace sale’

6. Select the 'search' button

7. Select the certificate that is in “pending BidCarbon marketplace sale” status.

8. Click for 'transferable certificate' 

9. Enter the 'BidCarbon Climate Trading Company account' details and the 'certificate key'

10. Upload the Transfer Agreement (JPEG, JPG, PNG format images)

11. Select the 'transfer certificates' button

12. The CDRC Working Body shall issue a notification of approval within 2 working days, being working days in China.

Following approval, the status of the certificate will change to “BidCarbon marketplace pending transfer”, and a confirmation message will be issued.

The BidCarbon marketplace is a facility within the BUC Registry that supports holders of carbon data rights certificates and entities buying and selling CDRCs at a fixed price.

Depending on demand, CDRCs may join the BidCarbon Marketplace transfer list where there are more sellers than buyers. This operates on a first-in-first-served basis. New offers will be added to the top of the list, and transfers will be processed starting from the bottom of the list.

The status of the BidCarbon marketplace transfer list is available in the BUC Registry and updated hourly.
