TRST01 opens three-hub carbon intelligence platform across India, Singapore and Dubai

By AI, Created 4:53 PM UTC, May 18, 2026, /AGP/ – TRST01 on May 12 said it is building a three-hub carbon intelligence platform spanning India, Singapore and Dubai to support green finance, Article 6 markets and sovereign carbon registries across the Global South. The move also names Dr. Ivano Iannelli as strategic lead for UAE operations, signaling a push to connect emissions data, capital and policy into bankable climate assets.

Why it matters: - TRST01 is trying to turn carbon markets into infrastructure, not just brokerage. - The platform is designed to convert emissions data into auditable and bankable assets for governments, corporates and sovereign registries. - The focus on the Global South points to a commercial push into markets where Article 6 implementation and carbon registry buildout are still developing.

What happened: - TRST01 announced a three-hub platform across India, Singapore and Dubai on May 12. - India will serve as the technology engine for AI-native analytics, digital MRV systems and blockchain traceability. - Singapore will act as the green finance hub for structured finance, ITMO buyer networks and Article 6 transaction mechanisms. - Dubai will serve as the climate intelligence deployment center for regional rollout across the Gulf and broader Global South. - TRST01 also named Dr. Ivano Iannelli as strategic lead for its UAE operations.

The details: - TRST01 describes its model as “Carbon Intelligence,” combining carbon market expertise, AI-native analytics, digital MRV infrastructure and institutional policy advisory. - The India-UAE Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement, in force since May 2022, supports technology services flow between India and the UAE hub. - TRST01 says India provides the engineering foundation for its AI analytics, digital MRV systems and TRST01Chain blockchain traceability architecture. - Singapore links carbon asset origination to institutional capital and carbon registry infrastructure. - Dubai is positioned as the place where technology, finance and policy converge for governments, corporates and sovereign registries. - Dr. Iannelli will lead development of the Carbon Intelligence discipline from Dubai, including purpose-built AI infrastructure and TRST01’s Digital MRV architecture. - TRST01 said Dr. Iannelli brings more than two decades of experience across Africa, Asia and the Middle East in climate finance and development economics. - TRST01 served as technology partner for the Democratic Republic of Congo’s National Digital Carbon Credit Registry, which was one of two sovereign African registries launched within 72 hours at COP30 in Belém, Brazil, in November 2025. - TRST01 is also a joint venture partner in Malawi’s emerging carbon credit ecosystem. - Both the DRC and Malawi deployments use the TRST01Chain platform and are active Article 6 sovereign markets. - TRST01 operates across the UAE, India and Singapore and develops sovereign carbon registries, Article 6 technical advisory services and AI-native emissions monitoring systems. - The company’s services target governments, development finance institutions and corporate clients, with a focus on Global South sovereign markets. - TRST01 provided company information and media contacts.

Between the lines: - The announcement shows TRST01 is moving beyond software into market architecture, advisory and capital connectivity. - Dubai’s role suggests the UAE is being used as a policy and finance bridge for carbon market activity tied to Africa and Asia. - Naming a senior climate finance executive in the UAE gives the company a local institutional lead as it expands its regional pitch.

What’s next: - TRST01 will build out its UAE-based Carbon Intelligence work from Dubai. - The company is likely to use the three-hub structure to pursue more sovereign registry, Article 6 and green finance deployments. - TRST01 says it is establishing Dubai as a dedicated Carbon Intelligence Centre for the Global South.
