Who we are

We are business people. With over 25 years each as executives in corporate aviation, we encountered the challenges of measuring our emissions and trying to develop carbon reduction strategies for our clients. We measured, we bought alternative fuel, we bought allowances and offsets. We struggled. We believe that investing in the protection of our climate shouldn’t be a struggle. This is why we founded Azzera.

Azzera will be the world’s first centralized carbon market spot exchange. Today, there is a lack of visibility as to where your money goes. Azzera will create a marketplace that brings suppliers and buyers directly together. You will have full transparency and knowledge of where your funds will go while you become net zero. Together, we can scale technologies and projects that are needed to reverse climate change.
