The data in Table 1 are used to construct Carbon Trakers Non Fungible Tokens (C-NFTs) for each basin (producer), as introduced in this working paper. The C-NFT links the methane and flaring emission tokens to the corresponding fuel production tokens, which, are assigned to each C-NFT at the closure of a audit, verification and certification processes. The C-NFT provides an anchor for the embodied flaring and venting emissions, measured as the carbon intensity or emission factors (see right rolumns in Table 1) of the oil and gas fuel tokens.
