Management Commentary
“Top Energy foresees incredible potential in this strategic alliance with First Carbon, bringing transparency and validation to an obscure market. We seek to take the ‘wild west’ out of the carbon trading world by marrying our clean energy credits with blockchain technology. This will offer an additional layer of assurance to our buyers, as well as making Top Energy credits internationally accessible. This sector is in severe need of additional green financing mechanisms to help the mass adoption of renewable energy in developing nations, especially in parts of the world without proper carbon markets. Through our partnership with the First Carbon platform, Top Energy seeks to realize liquidity through providing tokenized access to carbon projects,” said Jonathan Gonzalez, CEO of Top Energy.
“Top Energy is an exciting business that we are looking forward to becoming our newest counterparty. Their group shares DeepMarkit’s commitment to the environment, specifically by providing ecological solutions to modern day energy mandates. We are excited to bring a diverse array of technology-based offset credits to the MintCarbon.io platform. Once formalized, this arrangement will provide liquidity to Top Energy’s carbon credits, while delivering DeepMarkit important and valuable transaction volume,” said Ranjeet Sundher, Interim CEO of DeepMarkit.
