How Blockchain Supports the SBCE
Distributed ledger technology establishes the technical integrity required for emission trading to operate with complete corporate safety:
01. On-chain MRV and Immutable Data
Each measurement from IoT sensors or industrial systems is recorded directly with an associated cryptographic hash, preventing operational tampering.
Ethereum / Polygon / Hyperledger02. Quota Tokenization as RWA
Representing regulated quotas as digital tradable assets (Real World Assets) simplifies the secondary market through fractionalization and real-time transfers.
