Meeting Notes

Attendees: 11

New members:

  • Kyle Robinson
  • Fabiano Valente Franz

Standards WG:

  • How do we migrate step by step into a more standardized process of the carbon offset markets? Quite some activity on the mailing list
  • There will have to be a public network. Feeding into this will be edge networks (private)
  • Continue the work in the next meeting on Tuesday, September 14, 5 PM CET

Discussions:

  • Public blockchain vs. private blockchain + public database like orbit-db
    • Hyperledger Besu could be a good approach. It unites a private permissioned network with a link to the public Ethereum mainnet
  • Break offsets into smaller units than 1 tonne of CO2 equivalent. Micropayment, e.g. I offset the CO2 emissions of my cup of coffee directly when I buy it
  • Interwork Alliance: Voluntary Ecological Markets → We could build on top of that to define schemas for the creation of tokenized carbon offsets. Christiaan Pauw
  • Research existing token standards. What token standard are we using in the emissions token projects? Si Chen could probably tell us more about that.
  • Create a branch in our Hyperledger-lab `blockchain-carbon-accounting` for an enhanced creation of tokenized carbon offsets
