New Delhi [India], April 25: In an evolving global carbon market, where businesses are increasingly seeking reliable, cost-effective, and transparent ways to procure carbon credits and International Renewable Energy Certificates (I-RECs), Hestiya is emerging as the go-to platform. With its blockchain-powered carbon marketplace, Hestiya is solving the inefficiencies of traditional platforms, ensuring buyers get the best value, verifiable impact, and seamless transactions.
The Buyer's Challenge in the Carbon Market
For businesses looking to offset their carbon footprint, the process of purchasing carbon credits and I-RECs has been fraught with challenges:
* Lack of Transparency - Many platforms fail to provide clear traceability, leading to concerns over double counting and credit legitimacy.
* High Costs and Hidden Fees - Traditional brokers and intermediaries significantly increase the cost of transactions.
* Inefficient Verification - Ensuring that purchased credits are verified, retired properly, and truly contribute to sustainability goals can be a cumbersome process.
* Limited Marketplace Options - Existing platforms often have restrictive pricing structures and limited direct purchase options, making it difficult for buyers to acquire large-volume or custom bundles of credits.
Hestiya is tackling these issues head-on with a marketplace designed specifically for buyers who want hassle-free, secure, and cost-efficient access to carbon credits and I-RECs.
