AlliedOffsets Partners with Carbon Pulse to Launch Season 2 of the Fantasy Carbon Trading League
  • AlliedOffsets is proud to launch the second season of its popular Fantasy Carbon Trading League (FCTL), in partnership with specialist news provider Carbon Pulse.
  • The second season of the FCTL introduces compliance market trading, full and improved integration with AlliedOffsets’ Quality Normalization Tool, and a trade statistics dashboard to help players source credits for their portfolios.
  • The second season of the FCTL begins Monday, April 14th, and runs for two months, until market close on Friday, June 13th.

 

April 14th, 2025 - Earlier this year, AlliedOffsets, the world’s largest data provider for the voluntary carbon market, created a fantasy league for carbon markets. It’s a game where players can experience carbon trading and use actual project data to build a dream portfolio without risking real money.

Now, AlliedOffsets is proud to partner with Carbon Pulse, the go-to source for unrivalled news and expert insight on compliance and voluntary carbon markets, to launch the second season of the Fantasy Carbon Trading League (previously known as the AlliedOffsets Fantasy Carbon Credit Competition). With new and improved features, the second season of the FCTL will elevate the experience for previous traders and new players – at a time when global carbon markets are more volatile than ever.

 

How the Game Works

  • Each player gets $10,000 when they create their trading account. For late-joiners, this starting amount will decrease by $500 every week starting on the following Monday.
  • Play as an individual or join a group and compete as a team.
  • Buy and sell voluntary carbon credits and compliance allowances using real-world data.
  • All trades must be executed at a contract’s settlement price. Compliance prices are updated daily (Mon-Fri), while voluntary prices are updated three times per week.
  • Players can trade any quantity of credits/allowances and as few as a single unit – i.e. there is no minimum lot size. Short selling not permitted.
  • Performance is tracked over time, with live leaderboards and insights.
  • Trading activity will be closely monitored to prevent cheating.
  • The player or team with the most profit at the end of the season wins a trophy and exciting prize!  (Team profit calculated as average of all team members)
