Greenhouse Gas Emissions as Commons: A Community Service Approach with Blockchain on the Edge
摘要
Designing distributed infrastructures for the common good becomes a driver of decarbonization as one of the significant endeavors of this time. This article explores the design principles for a community service approach in developing resilient infrastructure, as well as secure tools for managing greenhouse gas emissions. We introduce the prototype of an information system that utilizes blockchain technology and edge computing for collaborative automation of measuring, reporting, and verifying (MRV) greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. In addition, the paper discusses the concept and early results of a field trial conducted with industry partners.
