|  | Carbon Offsetting for Blockchains and Beyond: Regen Network Launches Car...
[PRESS RELEASE - California, United States, 26th October 2022]
Regen Network Development released its marketplace application for tokenized carbon and ecological assets, Regen Marketplace. Regen Network allows carbon project developers to originate high-quality nature-based carbon credits to markets, catalyzing regenerative finance solutions to the climate crisis. Regen Marketplace takes advantage of Regen Ledger, the application-specific blockchain which brings transparency and public governance to voluntary carbon markets, built on the CosmosSDK.
Regen Marketplace is a blockchain platform for the origination, governance, and exchange of tokenized ecological assets. Climate impact projects can define, manage, mint, and sell tokenized carbon and other ecological assets in the blockchain-based registry system.
Using Regen Marketplace, blockchains and validators striving to meet their climate commitments are encouraged to purchase, transfer, retire, and bundle tokenized carbon on the blockchain for carbon offsetting purposes, effectively removing carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gasses from the atmosphere. Blockchain dApps are encouraged to export tokenized carbon for DeFi or consumer climate impact apps.
In addition to the Marketplace launch, Regen Network will be introducing the Nature Carbon Ton to the Interchain Economy. NCT will be the first IBC-compatible carbon token for the Interchain economy by the soon-to-be launched Regen Ledger to Polygon bridge, co-implemented b...
|  | The Coorest Carbon Standard Now Officially Certified
PRESS RELEASE. Coorest, a Polygon-native project, is the first blockchain project to have a certified standard for carbon compensation entirely on-chain - allowing anyone with an internet connection to compensate for their carbon footprint, thereby demonstrating that the newly certified Coorest Carbon Standard (CCS) is an excellent alternative to other pre-existing standards.
As a result of the new standard, all activities related to carbon compensation must be carried out through the blockchain; this ensures that all steps of the carbon compensation process are visible at all times and the process is transparent.
The Floodlight Chainlink node introduces a new level of accountability by monitoring carbon capture projects via satellite and validating the carbon capture process with satellite data. This feature proves actual carbon capture, thereby ensuring that Coorest's carbon tokens are provably backed by absorbed CO2. Furthermore, the standard guarantees the additionality of Coorest's carbon tokens, backed by carbon capture. Before exploring the details behind the CCS, it is essential to understand what makes it a legitimate methodology for carbon compensation.
Certified by an official United Nations auditor
The CCS is certified by Earthood, an official United Nations auditor. Earthood recognises Coorest's CO2 tokens as a valid carbon compensation method.
The methodology of CCS includes a strict set of rules for carbon capture projects. Among these is the requirement for th...
|  | Polygon Banks On Merge To Get Rid Of 60,000 Tons Of Carbon Footprint
Polygon expects to eliminate a considerable amount of carbon traces from its system as the Merge nears.
The Ethereum Merge is just around the corner. With a soft deadline set on September 15, the world will soon find out whether or not the developers' hopes for a positive change are realized.
The Ethereum-based Polygon blockchain will also undergo changes as a result of the Merge. In a nutshell , the Merge is the transition from Proof-of-Work (PoW) to Proof-of-stake (PoS). With this update, the Ethereum network should use less energy in the future.
If you take Chile's annual electricity consumption of 77.53 TWh and apply it to the current annual electricity usage of the Ethereum network, you get a pretty good idea of how much power is being used.
Polygon's Burden: Cutting Carbon Footprint
The network's carbon footprint is comparable to that of Hong Kong (which is 43.24 MT CO2), so it's quite sizable.
Based on research by Polygon, the network is responsible for 0.48 percent of Ethereum's total carbon footprint of 12,721,000 metric tons of carbon equivalent. This estimate is valid for the period beginning in August 2021 and ending in July 2022.
That's the equivalent of creating 60,930 tons of carbon dioxide. Polygon also mentioned the difficulty in doing so, noting that it must also factor in the emissions of its L1 chain.
As a result, the progress Ethereum has made toward a (almost) emission-free system will have a significant effect on Polygon's emission rates.
Polygon did t...
|  | Polygon's MATIC Surges 27% On Carbon Neutrality News
According to CoinMarketCap, the Polygon (MATIC) value was increased by nearly 27% to $0.55 within 24 hours after Polygon's news of being carbon neutral. However, the coin is still on an upward trend, and as of the time of writing, it was trading at $0.60.
The price is still below what it was at the beginning of the month when it was trading at $0.66, but considering the market downturn, MATIC's price gain is sending out a positive vibe. On the other hand, the leading cryptocurrencies, like Bitcoin and Ethereum, saw a week's decline. In addition, Having peaked at $2.92 on December 27, 2021, Polygon has since plummeted nearly 80%. Although it is still 50% higher than this month's low of 0.31 on June 18.
MATIC was first created on top of the Ethereum Network and is now enhanced with Plasma-based side-chains to guarantee asset security. The main objective of MATIC Network, which calls itself a blockchain-agnostic Layer-2 scaling solution, is to enable scalable, quick, and safe blockchain transactions.
MATIC is currently trading at around $0.6 on the hourly chart | Source: MATIC/USD price chart from Tradingview.com
The Main Factor Driving Polygon's Matic Value Upward
Mainly two catalysts appear to be the reason for Polygon's increasing value. Nevertheless, the most important one is Polygon's recent announcement that it has retired $400,000 worth of carbon credits, turning the company carbon neutral.
The value of its native token has increased significantly as a result...

The past year has experienced a boom in SPAC crypto mergers, with companies like Core Scientific Inc. Bakkt and Cipher Mining being a few notable examples. SAI.TECH (“SAI” or “the Company”) got on the wave of SPAC listings right before SPAC mergers got more difficult. Having gotten officially listed on Nasdaq on May 2nd, SAI is the first 'chip heating' concept stock on the exchange, with its CEO & founder Arthur Lee also becoming the youngest Chinese CEO ever listed.
Bitcoin has become one of the most attractive emerging assets on the market in recent years, but the need for increasingly energy-intensive computing infrastructure has caused concerns about its sustainability. By promoting ESG standard technologies and solutions, SAI, as a global energy-saving bitcoin mining operator and a clean-tech company, is trying to prove to the market that the feasibility and the company's business model might leads bitcoin mining to a more sustainable future.

|  | One River Carbon Neutral Bitcoin ETF Trust Denied by the SEC
The United States Securities and Exchange Commission continues to deny applications for Bitcoin ETFs. The latest one is the proposed rule change to list and trade shares of the One River Carbon Neutral Bitcoin Trust.
The SEC has denied yet another application to launch a Bitcoin ETF. On May 27th, the Commission issued a notice rejecting the proposed rule change to list and trade shares of the One River Carbon Neutral Bitcoin Trust under the NYSE Arca Rule 8.201-E.
The notice details that the main reason for the rejection is that the proposed rule change fails to meet its burden under the Exchange Act and the Commission's Rules of Practice.
More specifically, the watchdog outlined Section 6(b)(5) and precisely the requirement that the rules of a national securities exchange be 'designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices' and 'to protect investors and the public interest.'
The SEC outlined that this is the same reason it has been rejecting other spot Bitcoin ETFs and also said that for it to approve one:
'... an exchange that lists bitcoin-based exchange-traded products can meet its obligations under Excange Act Section 6(b)(5) by demonstrating that the exchange has a comprehensive surveillance-sharing agreement wit a regulated market of significant size related to the underlying or reference bitcoin assets.'
While expected, the SEC's decision hasn't deterred other big names to file for a spot Bitcoin ETF.

|  | JustCarbon: A Decentralized Carbon Credit Marketplace
For more than two decades, the carbon credit market has worked to offset the world's unavoidable carbon emissions, with several billion dollars worth of carbon traded yearly. One would expect that a market this large would offer a high level of sophistication, but the reverse is the case.
The processes involved in trading carbon credits in the current market are manual, benefiting the middlemen more than most projects and concentrating access to the market in the hands of large corporations. This makes the market highly centralized.
But thanks to blockchain technology, JustCarbon plans to decentralize and revolutionize the entire carbon credit market.
What is JustCarbon?
JustCarbon is a blockchain-powered marketplace that allows users to seamlessly offset their carbon emissions while supporting high-quality carbon removal projects to combat climate change. The company is on a mission to digitize and mobilize the carbon assets that are currently available in the market.
JustCarbon is revolutionizing the way that carbon offsetting projects are funded by developing its blockchain-backed platform for friction-free trading of carbon removal assets without any middlemen.
By eliminating middlemen, the platform offers investors, exchanges, businesses, and more a straightforward carbon offsetting mechanism.
Additionally, JustCarbon is creating an equitable environment to ensure that every high-quality project working to offset carbon emissions gets free and fair access to the marketpl...

The Israeli-American businessman and investor started the firm with his spouse Rebekah and CEO Dana Gibber. On May 24, the company announced that it had raised $70 million in its first major funding round led by a16z. The event was made through a combination of traditional venture equity and a private token sale.
Participants included General Catalyst, Samsung Next, Invesco Private Capital, RSE Ventures, Allegory Labs, and the Celo Foundation, according to the announcement.
The startup aims to help companies reduce their carbon footprints by selling tokenized carbon credits on the blockchain. According to the firm, these tokens will then be tradable on major crypto exchanges.
Decarbonizing Through Crypto
Companies can buy carbon credits to offset their emissions and environmental impact. These credits are channeled into other projects that reduce or remove carbon from the atmosphere.
Flowcarbon aims to tap into this growing demand for carbon credits as the world becomes more conscious of emissions and corporations are pressured to do something about them.
These credits will be certified digital assets stored and traded on the blockchain. Additionally, this method facilitates cheaper funding for firms and projects to scale faster. Chief executive Dana Gibber explained:
“Our mission is to provide the financing necessary to scale projects that reduce or remove carbon from the atmosphere, in particular nature-based projects.”
She added that the voluntary carbon market...

|  | China Mining Ban Worsened Bitcoin's Carbon Footprint, Study Claims
Contrary to some expectations, Beijing's crackdown on the crypto mining industry has increased Bitcoin's carbon emissions, researchers have alleged. Leaving China, miners also left behind its eco-friendly hydropower and are increasingly relying on energy generated by fossil fuels, they claim.Bitcoin Mining Allegedly Less Green Since Miners' Exodus From China
Cryptocurrency mining has become a dirtier process after the Chinese government effectively prohibited bitcoin extraction in the People's Republic, according to research published in the Joule journal. The share of renewable energy used to power mining operations has fallen from almost 42% to around 25% last August, the study insists.
It has been estimated that Bitcoin produces more than 65 megatons of carbon dioxide annually. The amount exceeds the total carbon emissions of a country like Greece, for example, which in 2019 registered less than 57 megatons of CO2. One of the authors, Alex de Vries, told the BBC:
We see the network becoming less green than ever before.
Speaking to Bloomberg, he elaborated that the relocation of mining companies to other countries such as the United States and Kazakhstan has led to a reduction in the use of renewable energy sources. This made bitcoin production less friendly to the environment as it resulted in the increase of its carbon intensity by about 17%.
