Blockchain-based solutions modernise the technology tools available for renewable energy tracking, trading, and reporting systems while also disintermediating the process and reducing transaction and administrative costs in certificate of origin markets. Agricultural and natural land screening - By combining remote sensing, image processing and blockchain technology, a verifiable screening of forests and agricultural land can be established. The natural carbon sinks can be accounted for in near real-time and payments related to their growth, or shrinking can be settled automatically and securely on a blockchain-based platform. For example, the platform can allow screening for the achievement of company or country level mitigation commitments (CLI, 2018b). Yet, a crowd-sourced data platform, connected to suitable (nano) satellites may provide the data for a fraction of today’s prices and maintain data integrity. Initiatives have already started to explore options of using remote sensing to provide earth observation data at low cost and high security (Stocker, 2017).
