OUR STORY
At an international conference on sustainable technology in Singapore, two entrepreneurs, Christopher and Zion, struck up a conversation over coffee. Christopher, an energy analyst, had long been frustrated by the inefficiencies and opacity in trading renewable energy certificates (RECs), while Zion, a blockchain developer, was eager to use his tech skills to drive transparency in environmental markets. As they discussed their respective experiences, they saw a common vision: using blockchain to create a more streamlined, transparent, and accessible REC market.
Their brainstorming session sparked the creation of Decarbonade, a blockchain-powered platform designed to simplify REC trading, speed up verification and settlement, and empower both large and small renewable energy generators. With Christopher’s industry insights and Zion’s technical expertise, Decarbonade quickly became a trusted marketplace for REC transactions, helping traders, buyers, and generators seamlessly contribute to global renewable energy goals.
