Carbon & REC infrastructure · Thailand & ASEAN

A marketplace for carbon credits and RECs — built for the way ASEAN actually trades.

GaiaSwap helps corporate buyers, sellers, and aggregators navigate which instrument fits their obligation — then executes the transaction. Multi-registry, multi-framework, decision-ready.

The problem

ASEAN carbon and REC markets are fragmented and full of compliance footguns.

Buyers face a maze: T-VER for domestic offsets, I-REC for renewable claims, Article 6 for cross-border, CORSIA for aviation, EU CBAM for export exposure. Pick the wrong instrument for your framework — like buying T-VER for a CDP submission — and the disclosure fails. Today, that knowledge lives in consultants' heads and PDF guidance docs. GaiaSwap moves it into the marketplace itself.

Product stack

One platform, three customer-facing tiers.

GaiaSwap is not a single product. It is a stack — built so a corporate buyer, a bank-aggregator, and a regional exchange can all run their carbon and REC flow on the same underlying infrastructure.

TIER 01

Consumer marketplace

Marketplace-first UI with order-book power mode and a framework-first recommendation engine. For sustainability leads, ESG procurement teams, and corporate sellers transacting under their own brand.

Aggregator channel

API and referral program for aggregators, EPCs, and banks to route their corporate clients' flow through GaiaSwap — with attribution, revenue share, and white-label checkout.

Infrastructure platform

White-label exchange UI, matching engine, multi-registry connectors, and the framework compliance API — licensed to other platforms running their own carbon or REC product.

The wedge

A framework-aware compliance layer underneath every trade.

Most exchanges show you instruments. GaiaSwap shows you which instruments are eligible for your obligation — across CDP, RE100, SBTi, CBAM, and CORSIA — before you ever click buy. The same engine powers the consumer marketplace, the aggregator API, and the white-label infrastructure layer.

  • Prevents T-VER-for-CDP and other instrument-framework mismatches
  • Enforces country-of-generation rules for cross-border I-REC
  • Validates vintage windows against framework cut-offs
  • Productizable as a standalone API for ESG software vendors
