Hyphen is a technology firm dedicated to quantifying the true value of natural capital in real-time through building trust and accountability within carbon markets. It endeavors to make carbon markets a consistently viable and transparent financial instrument.
Hyphen’s operations feature an advanced atmospheric-based digital monitoring, reporting, and verification (aMRV) solution. This system features proprietary aMRV software that precisely quantifies greenhouse gas (GHG) flux data using on-site scientific instrumentation such as Eddy Covariance Towers.
The Hyphen platform ensures security through its incorporation of digital ledger technology (DLT) on the Hedera blockchain network. It leverages Hedera's immutable ledger to create secure, auditable records for GHG data and the entire MRV lifecycle. This is crucial for ensuring the verifiability of environmental data, enhancing the integrity of carbon credits, and addressing historical challenges of opacity in carbon accounting.
Hyphen’s offerings, including geospatial GHG data streams and Enterprise dMRV solutions, primarily target project developers and global carbon offsetters. By integrating its scientific MRV approach with Hedera’s capabilities, Hyphen aims to deliver verified climate intelligence and to foster a global financial system that effectively supports sustainable practices.
Australian Payments Plus (AP+) is the national organization responsible for Australia's core payment infrastructure. It was formed by the merger of three key entities: BPAY Group, the operator of the ubiquitous BPAY bill payment service; eftpos, the national debit card system for point-of-sale transactions; and NPP Australia, which runs the New Payments Platform (NPP). In its infrastructure capacity, AP+ processes over 7.5 billion transactions annually and is central to the daily economic activity of the country.
AP+ is also an active researcher organization that is constantly exploring the capabilities of distributed ledger technology and a member of the Hedera Council.
The relationship with Hedera provides AP+ with a framework for developing and testing new solutions that could one day integrate with or enhance its established portfolio of payment services. This involvement complements its research into other future-focused technologies, including its participation in the Reserve Bank of Australia's CBDC pilot program.
Beem is a versatile Australian digital wallet owned by Digital Wallet Pty Ltd and now part of Australian Payments Plus, a member of the Hedera Governing Council and the collective that also includes BPAY Group, eftpos and NPP Australia.
It enables Australians to pay, request, transfer and split money instantly by using familiar contact names instead of BSB and account numbers. The app also supports BPAY for bill payments and offers features such as rewards and cashback through Beem Rewards and Cashrewards, loyalty and gift card storage, animated stickers and group expense management.
Eftpos acquired Beem in 2020 to expand into digital wallet services and leverage its payments infrastructure for faster growth. Since then it has been downloaded more than 1.4 million times and has facilitated over US 1 billion in transactions. Australian Payments Plus operates a Hedera network node in Australia and has trialled the Hedera Consensus Service and an Australian dollar based stablecoin to enable secure and low cost micropayments, providing a potential foundation for future Beem innovations.
Tamuwa, founded in 2015, is a Kenyan company at the forefront of the renewable energy sector in Africa. Its primary focus is on converting agricultural waste, specifically sugarcane bagasse, into a sustainable and affordable energy source. By producing high-density briquettes and pellets, Tamuwa provides a clean alternative to traditional fuels like firewood and charcoal, addressing issues of deforestation and promoting a circular economy.
The company's core service is the production and distribution of these biomass briquettes, which have a high calorific value and low moisture content, making them an efficient fuel source for industrial and domestic use. Tamuwa has also developed the CYNK platform, a digital end-to-end solution for the measurement, reporting, verification, and trading of high-quality voluntary emissions reductions (VERs). This platform is designed to bring trust and transparency to the carbon offset market, enabling local communities and projects to gain greater financial benefit from their environmental initiatives.
The CYNK platform is built on the Hedera network, leveraging its high-throughput, low-cost, and energy-efficient distributed ledger technology. This integration allows Tamuwa to digitize and tokenize verified emissions reductions, creating a secure and transparent marketplace for carbon credits.
