With increasing mainstream adoption in 2021, blockchain is emerging as an important solution for automating the data behind carbon accounting.

According to Blockchain Revolution author Don Tapscott, the synthesis of blockchain, IoT and AI is the key to the next era of digital transformation. “This new generation of technology — the “trivergence” — represents a new paradigm,” he said in a recent interview, citing the risks of supply chain complexity and the climate pressures on oil and gas as “demand pulls” towards adoption.

While GuildOne and partners like Validere and AWS are starting with individual carbon sequestration facilities, the critical path for these types of projects is rapid scale and adoption across the industry.
