Climex started in the Netherlands in 2003 under the name New Values. New Values offered support in emission rights trading by offering a user-friendly and reliable online trading platform called Climex.

In 2005, New Values founded the Climex Alliance, comprised of regional partners all over Europe. The Climex Alliance included:

• New Values (based in The Netherlands)
• SENDECO2 (based in Spain)
• Vertis Environmental Finance (trading as euets.com, based in Hungary)
• STX Services (based in The Netherlands)
• APX Power Limited (trading as APX Power UK, based in the UK)
• APX B.V. (based in The Netherlands)

In 2008, the Climex Alliance partners merged to form Climex, a pan-European organization committed to providing a transparent marketplace for trading and auctioning environmental commodities and energy contracts. By creating a world-wide market, Climex facilitates the increase of trade, volume and liquidity, as well as more market transparency, which benefits all involved.
