Interview: NoviqTech’s CEO Talks Livium, Hedera, and the Future of Sustainability
Join us as Freddy El Turk, CEO of NoviqTech (ASX: NVQ), speaks with Small Caps about our latest initiatives, reinforcing its leadership in AI and distributed ledger technology for sustainability applications.
At NoviqTech (ASX: NVQ), we combine AI and blockchain to deliver solutions for carbon accounting, supply chain traceability, and guarantee of origin. Our core platform, Carbon Central, enables real-time tracking and tokenisation of environmental data, making sustainability reporting simpler, more transparent, and more valuable.
One of the highlights is our new partnership with Livium (ASX: LIT) to support the tokenisation of environmental benefits from advanced battery recycling. This project uses Carbon Central to build a digital system that tracks carbon reductions and mineral circularity across Livium’s operations.
Our Digital Twin technology is key here. It creates real-time digital models of the recycling process, monitoring emissions and recovering key minerals like lithium, nickel, and cobalt. This helps automate sustainability reporting, meet global standards like battery passports, and showcase the clear ESG value of recycling over raw material extraction.
By turning environmental data into blockchain-based tokens, we’re making it easier to prove and monetise sustainability outcomes, from reduced emissions to increased recycling. These tokens provide a permanent, auditable record and can support carbon credits or certification schemes under standards like ISCC and Verra.
We also announced an extended five-year partnership with the Hedera Foundation, supported by a milestone-based grant. This funding will help us grow faster, bring more customers onto our platforms, and scale our transaction capacity. It also includes marketing support to boost adoption of both Carbon Central and NoviqAI.
We’re aligned with Hedera’s recent partnership with Verra, which links the Guardian to Verra’s Project Hub. This improves transparency and traceability in carbon markets, and strengthens our own capabilities for projects like tracking diesel emissions reductions.
What's Next for NoviqTech
Our focus remains on high-growth sectors with urgent sustainability needs, including green hydrogen, battery recycling, oil and gas, and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). We’re expanding Carbon Central to support SAF book-and-claim models, backed by partnerships and research to help accelerate market adoption.
Together, blockchain and AI offer a powerful combination: blockchain ensures secure, traceable records, while AI processes large datasets in real-time, helping automate reporting, reduce errors, and keep up with evolving regulations like carbon disclosures and product passports.
These efforts reflect our mission to deliver trusted, scalable tools that help organisations measure, verify, and monetise their environmental impact. With our SaaS model and support from partners like Hedera, Livium, and GRR, we’re building the infrastructure for a low-carbon, circular future, and making it accessible to industries worldwide.
