1. Executive Summary Hestiya Intelligence is a specialised B2B Market Intelligence platform built for the Environmental Commodity sector. It serves as a centralised, data-driven hub for International Renewable Energy Certificates (I-RECs) and Carbon Credit markets, equipping corporate buyers with the transparency, analytics, and compliance tools needed to make high-stakes procurement decisions with confidence. The platform addresses a critical gap in the environmental commodity space: the lack of centralised, reliable pricing data combined with verified project information. By aggregating fragmented global market data into an intuitive interface backed by geospatial verification, Hestiya enables procurement teams to shift from opaque, broker-dependent purchasing to informed, data-driven strategies. The voluntary carbon credit market is projected to grow from $2.52 billion in 2025 to $50–120 billion by 2030.1,2 Hestiya Intelligence positions investors at the centre of this transformation with real-time data, AI-powered matching, and blockchain-verified assets. 2.
2. Market Intelligence & Pricing Engine The pricing engine is the core analytical backbone of the Hestiya platform. It centralises fragmented global market data from registries, brokers, and bilateral transactions into a single, actionable dashboard designed for corporate procurement teams. 2.1 Global Price Index The Global Price Index displays live average pricing for energy attributes across different countries, giving users an immediate snapshot of regional market rates. This eliminates the traditional dependency on broker- provided quotes and enables direct market rate benchmarking for credits in regions such as India, UAE, Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Sub-Saharan , Africa.³⁴ 3.

4. 2.2 Compare Pricing Module The Compare Pricing Module is a new analytical feature that allows users to evaluate rates across different Vintage Years and Technology Types side-by-side. This enables procurement teams to quantify the price premium associated with newer vintages (e.g., 2024 versus 2021) and make cost-optimised purchasing decisions aligned with their sustainability reporting 5,6 requirements. 2.3 Historical Price Trends Interactive charts track price movements over monthly and quarterly intervals, providing a visual representation of market volatility. This trend data helps corporate buyers determine optimal timing for procurement, whether to accelerate purchases in a rising market or wait for price corrections in a , , softening environment.³¹⁹² 2.4 RE100 Eligibility Filter A critical compliance feature, the RE100 Eligibility Filter narrows displayed projects to only those meeting the stringent criteria for RE100 corporate reporting. This ensures that procurement ocers can confidently select credits that will be accepted for international sustainability disclosures without additional manual , , verification.⁵⁶¹¹ $1.00 $0.80 $0.60 $0.40 $0.20 $0.00 Price (USD/MWh) 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 $0.85 $0.79 $0.20 $0.86 $0.83 $0.52 $0.70 $0.45 $0.40 Brazil (wind) India (solar/wind) Turkey (wind) China (solar/wind) Global blended avg
3. Market Context & Industry Data The voluntary carbon market (VCM) and I-REC ecosystem have seen significant growth driven by accelerating corporate net-zero commitments, regulatory tightening across major economies, and the mainstreaming of ESG reporting frameworks. Hestiya is positioned at the intersection of this growth, providing the market infrastructure required for transparent, , , , , , high-integrity transactions.¹²⁷⁸⁹¹ 3.1 Voluntary Carbon Market Growth The voluntary carbon market has entered a new phase of growth, driven by tightening regulations, expanding corporate climate commitments, and the mainstreaming of ESG disclosure frameworks across major economies. In 2025, the market crossed $1 billion in annual spending for the first time — not because more credits were issued, but because buyers increasingly paid premiums for high-integrity, independently verified credits. The following table summarises the key market growth drivers, their expected impact, and the timelines over which they are likely to shape the market. 3.2 Technology Mix & Regional Distribution The platform aggregates projects across five primary renewable energy technologies. Solar represents the largest share at 42%, followed by wind at 28%, reflecting broader global renewable energy deployment , trends.⁴⁵ Regionally, Asia-Pacific dominates supply at 45% of indexed projects. 5.

4. Interactive Geospatial Mapping (Plant Discovery) The map interface moves beyond traditional spreadsheet-based asset management, providing visual, satellite-verified proof of the supply chain. This feature is a differentiating capability for Hestiya, addressing the growing demand for project-level transparency in environmental commodity markets. 4.1 High-Resolution Satellite Interface Powered by satellite imagery, the mapping module allows users to zoom into the exact geographic coordinates of renewable energy projects, including solar farms, wind parks, biomass plants, and hydroelectric facilities. This connects abstract environmental credits to verifiable physical , infrastructure.¹²¹³ 4.2 Dynamic Fly-To Navigation When a user selects a country from the intelligence dashboard, the map performs an animated transition, automatically zooming and centring on the selected region’s geographic boundaries. This creates an intuitive, spatially-aware browsing experience that mirrors professional GIS applications.13 4.3 Plant-Specific Data Points Each map pin represents a verified project and provides on-click access to the plant’s Technology Profile (Biomass, Solar, Wind, Hydro, or Geothermal), capacity details, vintage information, and registry status. This connects the abstract “Credit” to a physical, real-world project, ensuring procurement teams know exactly where their investment is , , , directed.⁵⁷¹⁴¹⁵ 6.
5. Platform Workflow & User Journey The Hestiya platform guides corporate users through a structured end-to-end workflow, from initial onboarding and KYC verification through to market analysis, credit procurement, and eventual redemption (retirement) of environmental assets.

6. Holding & Asset Management Once a transaction is finalised, the platform functions as a secure digital vault for environmental assets, providing portfolio visibility, verification status, and redemption capabilities 6.1 Segmented Portfolio View The holdings dashboard maintains a clear separation between Carbon Credit and I-REC portfolios, ensuring distinct accounting for different sustainability goals. Each asset class is tracked with independent valuation, vintage grouping, and compliance tagging. 6.2 Verified by Hestiya Status Every project in a user’s holding has passed Hestiya’s verification process, confirming its physical existence, registry listing, and active status. This “Verified by Hestiya” badge provides an additional layer of due , , diligence beyond standard registry checks.⁵¹⁴¹⁵ 6.3 Redemption (Retirement) Workflow The redemption module enables users to permanently retire credits from the market, generating the documentation required to claim an offset against their organisation’s carbon footprint. This process is integrated with major international registries and , , produces audit-ready retirement certificates.⁵¹⁴¹⁵ . 8. Asset Type Total Volume Avg.
