CHICAGO and LONDON, March 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Laconic Infrastructure Partners Inc. (Laconic), today announced a strategic partnership with Quantum Commodity Intelligence (QCI), a global leader in carbon credit price discovery and carbon market news. As part of this agreement, QCI's carbon price assessments and market news for the global energy transition markets will be available to Laconic's customers through SADAR™ NCM (Natural Capital Monetization), the world's leading trusted carbon data management and interchange platform.

The SADAR™ NCM platform provides the much-needed structured information interchange required for carbon markets to function properly at scale. With the ability to harmonize, reference, and exchange carbon-linked information via a robust immutable datastore where data can only be appended, never altered or deleted, the SADAR™ NCM platform gives the carbon market ecosystem a trusted digital chain of custody for all carbon-linked activity.

With QCI data directly integrated into the SADAR™ NCM platform on a daily basis, trading houses, financiers, carbon project developers, corporations, governments, consultants and service providers have the most up-to-date, relevant information in a single platform. This allows all carbon market stakeholders to make financial investment decisions based on potential carbon investments and to monitor their current holdings.

Combined with SADAR™ NCM's synthetic basket and investment tools, QCI daily pricing data will enable carbon originators, traders and carbon warehousers to organize, monitor and track their positions, holdings, and custom baskets along with historical retirements in real time.

"Democratizing environmental data is at the core of our mission," said Andrew Goodwin, Director of Partnerships at Quantum Commodity Intelligence. "By integrating our carbon pricing data and market news with the Laconic SADAR™ NCM platform, the carbon market is strengthened through a common set of trusted data available to all ecosystem participants," he added. 

"QCI's proven methodology for creating accurate price assessments will be invaluable to our customers when analyzing their carbon offset certifications," said Nicola von Schroeter, Senior Vice President of Strategic Alliances, Laconic.
