Carbon markets won’t scale without trust.

The biggest risks include:

  • ⏳ Verification delays: proving emissions reductions takes too long.
  • ♻️ Double counting: the same credit claimed by multiple parties.
  • Fragmented registries: systems that don’t talk to each other.

 

This is where blockchain can help.

With a tamper-proof digital ledger:

  • MRV data can be tracked and verified in real time.
  • Registries can interoperate seamlessly.
  • Ownership is transparent, and credits are automatically retired once used.

 

At Strategy&Ops, we design carbon credit systems that:

✔ Prevent double counting

✔ Show exactly who owns what

✔ Retire credits automatically with verifiable records

✔ Strengthen governance frameworks for long-term market credibility
