Net Zero
Engaging Communities to Combat Climate Change with Transparency and Ease.
Demo
About
The problems we want to solve: - Reality: Measuring and offsetting carbon emissions is difficult for companies, and climate projects face low funding and awareness. - Social: The CSRD makes sustainability reporting challenging for EU companies, highlighting the need for better solutions to generate carbon footprint data and offset emissions. - Technical: Web2 solutions lack transparency and scalability. How it works: - Gamification: Engaging users with leaderboards and point systems, streaks, challenge other users with greener lifestyles. - Crowdfunding: Facilitating contributions to green initiatives. - Proof and Verifiability: Ensuring transparency with a tamper-proof system. - Reputation: Creating green proofs and approval stamps for carbon footprints. Key Features: - Leaderboard to encourage competition and engagement. - GPS integration for accurate, private data. - Distribution system for donations to green projects. - Seamless transactions on chain + transparent flow of funds stored in vault. - Highly accurate mathematical models for footprint. "The global carbon offset market is projected to reach $200 billion by 2030." Producing carbon emission services could be challenging, for example: - Carbon emission reports - AI for data analytics - Affordable monthly subscriptions ...but not using it can be very expensive for companies For next steps: we will test with users for Feedback Integration Reach out to climate projects & organizations such as https://www.energyweb.org/ Finish our MVP build up
How it's made
Technologies we applied: Celo Minipay: Seamless onboarding, on ramp and gasless transfers. The Graph: A new Net Zero Subgraph will be created for feeding notifications to the end user on funds, emission offsets, donations. Flare: Data audit for carbon emission counters. Arbitrum Stylus: Efficient, low-latency on-chain calculations of carbon emissions including advanced maths libraries for trust and transparency. Hyperlane: Interoperability between Celo and Arbitrum for optimal transparency and reputation management. Blockscout: Contract verification and user receipts.
