Introduction
As the demand for sustainable finance grows, carbon credits have emerged as a powerful tool in combating climate change. However, traditional systems for trading and verifying carbon credits often face inefficiencies and lack transparency. By leveraging the XRP Ledger (XRPL), organizations are now able to tokenize carbon credits, creating a secure, transparent, and efficient pathway for green finance.
What Are Carbon Credits?
A Tool for Sustainability
Carbon credits represent a permit allowing companies or individuals to emit a certain amount of carbon dioxide (CO₂). One credit typically equals one ton of CO₂ removed or prevented from entering the atmosphere.
Current Challenges
- Fraud and double-counting in traditional carbon markets.
- Lack of transparency in verification and ownership.
- High transaction costs in global trading.
