This project builds a blockchain network to calculate emissions from transportation and verify emissions reductions in transportation. It could be used with a mobile app to track your own personal emissions for traveling or transportation and logistics emissions as part of the Supply Chain Emissions Ledger ProjectDecarbonization.
Requirements
Mobile App
Using a mobile phone to track travel is quite complex. Fortunately, there is an open source project called "e-mission" which provides a lot of the infrastructure for it. See "E-Mission Mobile App" below and the paper "e-mission: an open source, extensible platform for human mobility systems"
...
Integration with the blockchain network will be via the web socket security wallet on the mobile client.
See our 2021-12-20 Peer Programming Call for a discussion about developing this mobile app and integrating it with the blockchain network.
Blockchain Network
A Fabric blockchain will receive the travel records from either the mobile app or other sources such as shipping manifests (UPS, freight carriers) or employee travel systems (Concur).
...
This program from the Connecticut Green Bank serves as an example of certifying emissions reductions from electric vehicles.
- The emissions calculation channel (currently being refactored from just utility emissions) will calculate emissions based on the type of travel and distance and store them on Fabric.
- Emissions factors for different types of travel and transportation is available from the data sources of the Supply Chain Emissions Ledger ProjectDecarbonization.
- Calculated Emissions could then be tokenized on an emissions tokens network
- Emissions reduction certification by the DAO Project.
