BioFuels pioneers 1089 Inc, lists world’s first BioFuels blending Global Carbon Credits® – insured with Oka – for sale on Carbon Trade eXchange (CTX)
‘NextGen solutions for Low Carbon Fuel’
1089 Inc has signed a Sub-Registry agreement with Global Carbon Registry (GCR) to develop and deploy the CX89 Methodology, a pioneering framework for carbon credit creation through verified greenhouse gas avoidance in low-carbon fuel transportation pathways.
Regulatory Tailwinds Driving Market Opportunity
With new U.S. biofuel regulations expected to be finalized in 2026, blending mandates are set to increase creating substantial financial upside for fuel blenders and domestic biofuels producers. According to reporting by Reuters, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency anticipates finalizing updated biofuel rules in the first quarter of 2026:

Current blend mandates in some markets sit at approximately 5%, with projections increasing toward 10–15% under the evolving regulatory framework.
Global Carbon Registry (GCR) has partnered with CTX to add this unique CX89 Methodology under ‘Biofuels Production & Usage’ Project Type and the first batches of credits are available for trade on Carbon Trade eXchange (CTX) at $18.00 tCO2e (negotiable) or via trading@ctxglobal.com for non CTX direct OTC deals (+5%).
Insurance cover by ‘Oka the Carbon Insurance Company’ covers invalidation risk, over the Buffer Reserve credits held in GCR under a unique Buffer Protocol designed by the GCR board. GCR GM Andre Knipe “given this is a fuel usage methodology the risk is negligible, if at all”. CTX CEO Wayne Sharpe adds “the use of immutable EPA Audited blockchain data to create tradable Carbon Credits is another globally unique feature of this amazing program. We expect this to expand exponentially and continue to produce Ultra High-Quality credits for years to come”.
CX89 uses US EPA Audited Blockchain Data to confirm the monitoring, validation and verification, which is then consolidated onto the GCR Registry to create marketable parcels of CX89 tradable Carbon Credits – fully electronic and traceable end to end.
