Leveraging blockchain technology to reduce carbon emissions
The National Carbon Credit System, which aims to reduce carbon emissions by 40% in the UAE by 2030, will be developed and implemented through the collaboration between the Venom Foundation, the Ministry of Climate Change and Environment (MCCE), and Industrial Innovation Group. By harnessing the potential of blockchain technology, the partnership aims to enhance transparency, reliability, and efficiency in managing carbon emissions.
The Venom blockchain’s carbon-neutral status further adds to its role in leading global climate efforts. With a focus on reducing emissions, promoting sustainable agriculture, enhancing environmental health, and conserving biodiversity, this collaboration is set to drive significant advancements in environmental management practices.
Excitement surrounding the partnership
Peter Knez, Chair of the Foundation Council at Venom Foundation, expressed his enthusiasm about the partnership, stating, “We are honored and excited to join hands with the UAE Government to build the National Carbon Credit System. At Venom, we believe that blockchain technology has the potential to drive real-world impact, and this initiative perfectly embodies that vision.”
