The Stellar blockchain will function as the ledger upon which tokens are stored and transacted, while IBM will manage trade activity.<\/p>\n<p>Todd Lemons, the CEO & Co-Founder of Veridium, commented on the importance of streamlining the carbon credit tracking and trading process:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cFor years, we've been trying to mitigate environmental impacts at every point in the value chain, however previous solutions still presented significant complexities and costs. Our work with IBM is the first step in dramatically simplifying the accounting and offsetting processes, and therefore ultimately helping reduce costs&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>According to Lemons, environmental assets such as carbon credits are potentially under-utilized due to the complexity and difficulty associated with their use and trade. The new carbon credit token solution, states Lemons, delivers a range of benefits to both enterprise organizations and investors:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Our digital environmental assets are designed to help companies and institutional investors purchase and use carbon credits to mitigate their environmental impacts today, and even hedge their potential carbon liabilities risks in the future.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>By tokenizing carbon credits, the Viridium solution created in tandem with IBM and Stellar allows organizations to purchased tokenized Triple Gold REDD+ credits, which are created by <a href=\"http:\/\/infinite-earth.com\/\">InfiniteEARTH<\/a> using a carbon accounting methodology that is now embodied in the <a href=\"https:\/\/unfccc.int\/process-and-meetings\/the-paris-agreement\/the-paris-agreement\">UN Paris Climate Agreement<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>While the new carbon credit token may not offer market speculators the opportunity to cash in, it does represent a real-world application of blockchain technology that delivers demonstrable positive real-world environmental benefits. Bridget van Kralingen, the Senior Vice President, IBM Industry Platforms and Blockchain, emphasizes how blockchain technology can simultaneously improve efficiency and deliver societal benefits:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;By using a public, permissioned blockchain network, we can help Veridium create a new sustainable marketplace that is good for business and good for the world&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new partnership between IBM and carbon credits startup Veridium Labs Ltd will see carbon credits issued on the Stellar blockchain, streamlining the trade\u00a0of carbon offset credits in an open market.
