In episode 105, we’re excited to welcome Alan Ransil, Project Lead at Filecoin Green, which aims to measure the environmental impacts of Filecoin and verifiably drive them below zero, while building infrastructure that allows anyone to make transparent and substantive environmental claims. We discuss how Web3 can help organizations and governments achieve net-zero emissions targets, building sustainable blockchain protocols, how blockchain can restore trust in carbon markets, and much more.

--Three Key Takeaways--

Organizations love making claims about their renewable energy use and emissions but can rarely prove it. Web3 solutions like Filecoin green can help hold these organizations accountable by giving them the tools to verify these efforts.
To verify net-zero claims, you need coordinated access to data across numerous silos and organizational boundaries. Web2 simply isn’t built for this type of function, whereas Web3 can transform this disjointed patchwork of data into a coordinated and interoperable system by enabling organizations to share information across boundaries.
Carbon offsets have been plagued with a lack of trust and concerns over the legitimacy of many popular offset projects. Web3 can improve carbon markets through greater transparency, cutting out unnecessary middlemen, community governance over local projects, and verifiably showing that projects are having their stated impact.
