The company's core technology combines a direct carbon emission management platform aligned with GHG Protocol and SBTi, a digital carbon offset platform covering the full lifecycle from project assessment through independent third-party verification, and a satellite-based MRV (Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification) capability for forest carbon credit projects. CarbonHub monetizes through project-based consulting fees, certification services, carbon credit development and trading, training and certification course fees, and managed IoT energy monitoring solutions; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The firm is a GCCA-designated operating partner for the Low Carbon Ratings system in Vietnam and holds exclusive partnerships with SGS Vietnam (green building certification), Normec Verifavia (CBAM/EU ETS Maritime compliance), Crystalchain (blockchain-based biochar carbon credits), and EPD Southeast Asia (regional LCA/EPD standards). CarbonHub leverages its parent firm's ESG Education & Business ecosystem, including a training platform (course.esg.edu.vn) and partner network, as its primary distribution channel.
