About Crux
What we do
Clean energy development is poised to boom, but we urgently need to make sustainable finance more efficient to move as quickly as needed. The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) will make hundreds of billions of dollars of tax credits available to companies building facilities or producing clean power and materials. And for the first time, these credits are transferable – creating a new and powerful market mechanism to fund energy transition projects. The market for transferable tax credits needs new standards, more buyers, expanded financial products, and purpose-built software.
Crux is the ecosystem for developers, tax credit buyers, and financial institutions to transact & manage transferable tax credits. Our network & tools streamline transactions, provide access to a large market, and reduce risk & increase trust.
This is a multidisciplinary problem requiring diverse perspectives. Our team brings extensive experience at the highest levels of government, business, energy, technology, and finance. We look forward to working together to accelerate the energy transition.
