Celo CEO Marek Olszewski said that blockchains can provide transparency and real-time verification on the state of carbon credits.
While moving to proof-of-stake (PoS) contributes to changing the narrative of blockchains being harmful to the environment, there are still many things that the Web3 ecosystem can do to tackle climate change. Olszewski mentioned some benefits of having an on-chain carbon offset system compared to traditional methods. He said that traditional carbon credit systems are plagued by a lack of transparency. With blockchain, there can be real-time transparency and verification that the carbon offsets are still valid. The executive also gave several examples of ways to offset carbon emissions, including planting trees, restoring habitat for species, direct air capture sequestration, and the use of biochar.
