Problem Statement
Current Market Challenges
The existing carbon credit market faces several critical challenges that limit its effectiveness and undermine trust among participants:
1. Verification Inefficiencies
- Manual verification processes are time-consuming and expensive
- Limited real-time monitoring of project performance
- Inconsistent verification standards across different regions
- High susceptibility to human error and bias
2. Lack of Transparency
- Opaque project reporting and impact measurement
- Limited visibility into fund allocation and usage
- Difficulty tracking credit ownership and retirement
- Insufficient public access to project data
3. Double-Counting Issues
- Same carbon credits sold multiple times across different registries
- Lack of unified global tracking system
