Why TenzaOne Exists

We built it because we needed it.

Climatenza builds industrial solar-thermal plants that displace fossil fuel at the site — real megawatts of decarbonised heat. Net0Link deploys an AI digital-twin on HVAC systems and delivers 30%+ energy savings for commercial buildings. Both generate verifiable emission reductions. Both need robust, auditable carbon and energy-efficiency credits to monetise those reductions at fair value.

When we went looking for the market-grade registry, data provenance, and buyer connectivity our own projects needed, we found something different: fragmented registries, opaque pricing, slow manual MRV, and buyers who couldn't verify what they bought. The carbon market infrastructure was priced and built for legacy project types. Tech-enabled industrial decarbonisation — our projects — didn't fit.

So we built the infrastructure we needed. A DePIN-anchored data chain for MRV. An AI engine for methodology matching and PDD drafting. A registry and marketplace where every credit has verifiable provenance, every buyer can audit in real time, and every project developer keeps most of the value instead of losing it to intermediaries.

It's the AWS story, in miniature. Amazon built its cloud for its own e-commerce platform. It worked. Then they realised every business would eventually need that infrastructure — and opened the door. TenzaOne is that same pattern for climate finance. Built because we needed it. Opened because the rest of the real-economy decarbonisation pipeline needs it too.

TenzaOne is an open ReFi (regenerative finance) ecosystem — a single verified data chain connecting project developers, investors, auditors, and corporate buyers. No walled garden. No captive registry. Just the infrastructure industrial decarbonisation needed, run transparently as a cooperative with DAO governance on the roadmap.

India CCTS-Ready — Mid-2026 Launch

TenzaOne is built to serve the Indian market where our Climatenza + Net0Link operations already run at commercial scale — Coca-Cola, Colgate, Nestlé, PepsiCo, Louis Dreyfus, Tata Chemicals, JSW Steel. India's Carbon Credit Trading Scheme (CCTS) launches first trading mid-2026, covering ~740 obligated entities across 9 sectors (aluminium · cement · chlor-alkali · paper & pulp · petrochemical · petroleum refinery · textile · iron & steel · fertiliser) — together ~700 Mt CO₂e, roughly 16% of India's emissions. Trading runs on IEX / HPX / PXIL (NOT MCX), INR settlement. Our dMRV stack is ACV-Agency-compatible and registry-complementary — never a registry replacement.

CCTS Compliance
CCC issuance
Indian Compliance Credits issued by BEE against sector intensity targets. 1 CCC = 1 tCO₂e.
Voluntary

VCMI Jan 2026 gate: from 1 Jan 2026, any VCMI Claims Code buyer needs ICVCM CCP-labelled or Article 6.4 credits. TenzaOne-facilitated voluntary credits route through ICVCM-approved programs (Verra, Gold Standard) — our Indian-project pipeline is positioned to produce CCP-compatible credits where methodology + vintage fit. For Indian developers, our Scope 3 Export tool also flags double-counting risk (VCU + CCC conflict) per the August-2025 VCMI Code update. India CCTS deep dive → · Certification flow →
Our Team

Founders

Akshay Makar

Akshay Makar

Co-Founder & CEO

Founder of Climatenza and TenzaOne. At 23, Akshay drove across Rajasthan installing solar panels on factory rooftops — no funding, no team, just the stubborn belief that climate tech has to work in the real world, not just in pitch decks. Nine years on, and across three continents, he's still chasing the same question: why does so much climate tech break the moment it hits real operations?

He keeps finding the same answer: the data is broken. Carbon accounting can't connect to energy monitoring. MRV tools can't talk to carbon markets. Scope 3 reports come back with four different numbers from four different vendors. 400+ climate tools exist — no shared infrastructure connects them. That gap is what TenzaOne is built to close.

50,000+ tCO₂e reduced through deployed projects. Writes Silent Emitters — weekly field reports to 1,700+ climate operators. Credentials: Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia · Y Combinator · Westerwelle Foundation · Echoing Green Fellow · Earthshot Bezos Fellow.
