HELIOVA WHITEPAPER
Amid the escalating global climate crisis, green energy and carbon neutrality have evolved from moral imperatives to the central focus of global capital and policy. At the same time, the integration of the carbon credit market, energy digitalization, and asset tokenization is driving a new growth engine for the green economy.
Heliova emerges at this critical transitional moment as an innovative digital energy infrastructure project. Leveraging blockchain as its core technology, and integrating carbon footprint traceability, carbon asset tokenization, and intelligent energy trading mechanisms, Heliova builds a trustworthy, tradable, and quantifiable green value circulation network.
Our native token, HLV (Heliova Token)
is designed to achieve the following objectives:
Enable the on-chain registration, fractionalization, and circulation of carbon credit assets
Build mechanisms for both corporate and individual participation in carbon reduction
Promote decentralized green governance and investment systems
Integrate financing, revenue distribution, and carbon verification mechanisms for green energy projects
Heliova is not just a digital currency — it is a financial infrastructure for a sustainable green future.
Global Energy Crisis & Carbon Neutrality Wave
Following the Paris Agreement, over 130 countries have pledged to achieve carbon neutrality
The carbon emissions trading market is growing rapidly; the voluntary carbon market exceeded USD 2 billion in 2024
Renewable energy financing still faces high entry barriers, long return cycles, and poor transparency
Current Market Pain Points
Issue | Description |
Lack of transparency in carbon credits | Most credits originate from offline certification with no real-time tracking |
Market fragmentation | Regional carbon trading platforms have high entry barriers and lack data interoperability |
Low capital efficiency | Clean energy financing relies on traditional institutions and slow processes |
Greenwashing | ESG data is difficult to verify, leading to high trust costs |
Blockchain Opportunities
On-chain transparency
Every carbon reduction record is verifiable on-chain
Trustless intermediation
Reduces the cost of expensive intermediary reviews
Tokenized trading
Carbon assets can be priced, staked, and fractionalized
Automated governance
Smart contracts improve compliance execution efficiency
Vision
To create a trustworthy, traceable, and participatory new order for green assets
— transforming carbon neutrality from a cost into a process of value creation.
Mission
Unlock green energy investment value
Improve liquidity and financing efficiency for clean energy assets via on-chain carbon credit confirmation and tokenization.
Enhance trust and participation in the carbon market
Establish a traceable, verifiable, and tradable carbon credit account system, lowering the entry barrier.
Build the underlying protocol for global green finance
Promote the evolution of green assets from local certification to global coordination, forming a cross-region, cross-chain green financial ecosystem.
What is Heliova ?
Heliova is a blockchain protocol integrating carbon credit asset digitization, green energy financing, and sustainable development governance mechanisms.
Issuer (Project Issuer): Enel Green Power (Italy)
Enel Green Power is a subsidiary of the Enel Group, specializing in renewable energy development and management. The company operates across multiple technologies including solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, and energy storage. It manages over 1,300 plants worldwide, with a total installed capacity of around 66.4 GW.
