Mission

In recent years, businesses and investors have become increasingly aware of climate change and are now taking positive action to stop it.  A great example is Microsoft's initiative to become carbon neutral and eventually carbon negative.  For these initiatives to succeed, multiple parties including institutional investors, major corporations, supply chain partners, environmentalist groups, government regulators, and the general public must now work together, sometimes for the first time.  This new collaboration in turn requires exchanging data and building trust across traditional boundaries.  

...

Fortunately, blockchains or distributed ledger technologies (DLT's) are by design made for solving these issues.  With blockchains, we can

• Automate data collection from a large number of sources, as is typical in supply chains.
• Maintain audit trail of immutable records, so that emissions calculations could be verified later without relying on one central repository.
• Create trust in CO2 emissions accounts as they are transacted across industrial and national boundaries, where no trusted central repository exists.
