Business Model
Our core business model is built around helping enterprises and project developers seamlessly participate in the voluntary carbon and renewable energy certificate (I-REC) markets.
We generate revenue through four primary streams:
Transactional Fee (5%) – A percentage cut from every carbon credit or I-REC trade facilitated on our marketplace, paid by the enterprise buyer.
Listing Fee ($1,000/project) – Charged to project developers for onboarding their verified carbon offset or renewable energy projects onto the Hestiya platform.
Issuance & Advisory Services (project/company) – Customized support to assist both corporates and developers in strategy, registration, issuance, and certification of carbon credits and I-RECs.
SaaS Subscription Tools (annually) – ESG and GHG accounting software for companies, including real-time emission tracking, reduction strategy tools, and regulatory compliance dashboards.
Our AI engine powers intelligent matching between companies and offset/REC projects based on emissions profile, industry, geography, SDG alignment, and budget. This not only boosts buyer confidence and project visibility but also increases transaction velocity.
By offering an end-to-end ecosystem—from GHG accounting to credit retirement—we serve as the outsourced sustainability office for mid-sized enterprises while giving project developers international market access.
