PARTNERS
CARBON CREDITS
AS FINANCIAL ASSETS
Growing awareness of climate change and pressure to reduce carbon emissions have increased the value of carbon credits. They have become a form of environmental currency, allowing companies to offset their own emissions by purchasing credits from sustainable projects.
Carbon credits are certificates that represent a reduction or removal of a specific amount of greenhouse gases (GHG) from the atmosphere.
Carbon credits can be traded on carbon markets, where companies and organizations can buy and sell these credits as financial assets.
BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY
​
To increase the security of these assets, the use of blockchain technology is growing. This technology offers a distributed and immutable record of all carbon credit transactions. This ensures transparency and traceability of transactions, which is crucial for the integrity of the carbon market.
The immutability and security of blockchain significantly reduce the risk of fraud in the carbon credits market, as all transactions are verifiable and traceable.
The use of blockchain technology also simplifies the process of buying, selling and transferring carbon credits. This can reduce administrative costs and increase the efficiency of operations.
In short, carbon credits are becoming valuable financial assets as awareness about climate change grows. Blockchain technology plays a fundamental role in managing these assets, offering transparency, security and efficiency to the carbon market. As the demand for sustainable actions continues to grow, the importance of carbon credits as financial assets will only increase, and blockchain will continue to play a central role in this context.
