ESG Today writes that Boston-based REsurety was founded in 2012 to improve the transparency and the impact of clean energy markets and the company develops the required software to run the platform.

REsurety founder and CEO Lee Taylor said that "CleanTrade fills a critical gap in the energy transition’s toolkit, providing the level of price transparency and transaction liquidity that traditional energy has long benefited from but which clean energy markets have sorely lacked."

Compared to other online transaction software solutions, CleanTrade is said to offer a better solution for clean energy assets, enabling all traders to get all the required information for full transparency. The platform also supports physical power purchase agreements (PPAs) and enables companies to rank the solutions offered for sale by cost and carbon abated, to name a few criteria.
