TruMarx Data Partners

What TruMarx Data Partners does

TruMarx Data Partners, Inc. (TDP) is a private Delaware-incorporated energy technology company founded in 2007 by former GlobalView Software Inc. senior managers, operating from Newark, Delaware with a Chicago office and international presence across the US, Europe, and Asia. The company builds cloud-based Energy Transaction as a Service (ETaaS) marketplaces — COMET and CG Hub — hosted on AWS — that facilitate bilateral negotiation, execution, and audit of physical energy transactions across 17 asset classes (natural gas, LNG, RSG, RINs, RECs, RNG, carbon offsets, etc.) and provide the world's first dedicated marketplace for certified natural gas and methane emissions trading.

COMET serves 250+ corporate members with real-time confidential collaboration, custom contract execution, and API-driven straight-through processing integration with enterprise ETRM/CTRM systems. CG Hub, launched in October 2022 in association with non-profit MiQ, layers methane emissions certification onto every transaction, supports bundled and unbundled certificate trading, and anchors over 1 bcf/day of certified gas liquidity from producers such as Seneca Resources and Northeast Natural Energy. The platform has facilitated more than 230,000 physical deliveries across its lifetime and serves enterprise customers including Shell, ExxonMobil, Chevron, BP, Saudi Aramco, TotalEnergies, Mitsubishi, and Petronas.

The business model combines a freemium-access COMET platform (no cost, no fixed term) with enterprise monetization via transaction fees, premium features for CG Hub certified gas trades, technology licensing (e.g., the Asia Gas Hub/GasX white-label in Malaysia), and sales agency for complementary carbon credits. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales targeting producers, marketers, utilities, and corporate buyers, supplemented by content marketing, industry event sponsorship (CWC World LNG Summit, Gastech), and the CEO's coordination role at the CCRO ESG Working Committee.
