Market-specific infrastructure map.
Climate Market Infrastructure
Climate products are often parametric instruments that depend on trusted data, observation periods and defined settlement methodology.
ADEX Technology can support climate-linked products such as heating degree days, cooling degree days, rainfall, wind, salinity, sea level and other configured climate indices.
Climate Market Technology Market Structure
Climate markets must define the reference data source, observation location, measurement period, calculation formula and settlement method.
The market structure should preserve evidence for data inputs, calculations and settlement outcomes.
Technology Requirements
Climate market infrastructure requires data-source integration, timestamped observations, calculation logic, contract configuration, risk controls and settlement reporting.
Data integrity is central because settlement may depend directly on an index, formula or observed value.
Trading and Execution Workflows
Trading workflows may include WebApp access, institutional APIs, RFQ or order-book workflows depending on liquidity and market design.
Market data should include instrument terms, observation status, reference values and settlement values where configured.
Risk Controls
Risk controls may include collateral checks, position limits, concentration controls, exposure monitoring and settlement-readiness controls.
Parametric products require controls around product definition, observation period and settlement calculation.
Clearing and Settlement
Clear Chain can support trade capture, obligation records, margin linkage and clearing workflows.
Clear Vault can support cash settlement, settlement status, calculation evidence and reconciliation.
Asset-Specific Integration Requirements
Climate markets may require weather, environmental, marine, agricultural, index-calculation or other approved data-source integrations.
Integration design should preserve source identity, timestamps, measurement rules and versioned calculation outputs.
Market Surveillance and Reporting
Climate market surveillance should focus on data integrity, calculation evidence, order behaviour, trade records and settlement status.
Reporting should provide audit trails for observations, calculations and settlement records.
API and Market Data
Climate markets may need trading, market data, reporting, data-source, calculation and administration APIs.
APIs should expose authorised access to product terms, reference data, observation state, settlement outputs and audit evidence.

Climate Market Technology FAQ
What is climate market technology?
It is infrastructure for trading, risk, data integration, settlement and reporting for climate-linked products.
What is a parametric climate product?
It is a product whose settlement may depend on a defined data observation, index or formula.
Why do climate markets need data-source integration?
Data-source integration provides evidence for observations, calculations and settlement outcomes.
What is an observation period?
An observation period is the contract-specific time window and measurement rule used for a climate product.
How are climate products settled?
Climate products may settle based on a pre-defined index, formula or observation result.
Can climate products use weather data?
Climate products can use weather data where the source and methodology are approved by the market design.
What APIs are needed for climate markets?
Trading, market data, reporting, data-source and calculation APIs may be required.
How does surveillance apply to climate markets?
Surveillance monitors trading, data evidence, calculation records, settlement outputs and audit trails.
