BC100+ Podcast Series: Carbontribe Labs - Data-Driven Standards and dMRV Innovations

Building on the success of the 2023 podcast series on Financial Inclusion and ReFi, INATBA’s Social Impact and Sustainability Working Group launched a new podcast series in 2024. Titled “Blockchain for the UN Charters – BC100+ Ecosystem 2024,” this series features BC100+ projects, exploring their use cases, challenges, opportunities, and impact measurement methods.

You can listen to the 8th podcast here featuring Samuel Seongeun Lee (The World in 2050) as the Host and Kay Yano (Carbontribe Labs) as the Guest.

In this episode, we spoke with Kay Yano, CEO of Carbontribe. Kay shared the history and mission of Carbontribe, which aims to accelerate the monitoring and prediction of carbon sequestration, ultimately ensuring higher quality carbon credits. He also shared challenges he faced in the carbon market, particularly with existing standards like Verra, and highlighted Carbontribe’s development of its own carbon standard that leverages data-driven methodologies.

Kay also discussed the role of dMRV (digital Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification) in ensuring transparency and preventing greenwashing, as well as the company’s plans to expand geographically and integrate insurance mechanisms to boost confidence in NFT-based carbon credits.
