Blockchain technology brings many benefits to the CarbonKerma platform and KermaExchange. By digitizing–or tokenizing–carbon credits, we have created a more efficient and transparent marketplace for carbon credits.  All transactions that happen on a blockchain are irreversible and publicly auditable. When a company buys CKT tokens and retires them, they are removed from circulation forever, never to be traded again. Our tokens are seamlessly traded by and between capturers and emitters with no middlemen but our exchange itself. Because our CO2 is represented as digital tokens, the cost can be spread appropriately along an emitter’s entire value chain. Our tokens are also divisible, meaning less than one metric tonne of sequestered carbon can be traded or offset, as appropriate, for more agile and precise use. Furthermore, the digitization of carbon credits democratizes access to a proven climate solution that has, to date, been at the sole disposal of the energy sector, which has the resources and knowledge to install the facilities. Participating in CarbonKerma’s carbon offset market allows businesses and consumers to, effectively, participate in CCUS–democratizing access to the most effective decarbonization tool at our disposal.   We use the Polygon (MATIC) blockchain, which is highly decentralized and a Layer 2 network which ultimately records transactions on Ethereum.
