Web3 Carbon Database
ECOTA aims to provide industry stakeholders, policymakers, and the general public with the best possible knowledge about Regenerative Finance (ReFi) with a focus on tokenized carbon claims – whether these take the form of carbon offsets, insets or emission reports. We want to add value to the industry in a neutral and fact-based manner. In cooperation with Positiveblockchain.io, we analyzed the current digital environment assets space, focussing on projects that work in the carbon tokenization value chain.
This database is the culmination of the working group "Ecosystem Analysis" that took place from January – October 2023 in cooperation with PositiveBlockchain.io

Our contribution
Why we're open-sourcing this database
Promote Collaboration
Open-sourcing findings allows various stakeholders including developers, environmentalists, and organizations to collaboratively contribute to and refine the knowledge base, tools, or solutions that have been developed. This collaborative environment can lead to enhanced innovations, improvements in carbon credit tokenization technologies, and the development of new solutions to existing problems in the carbon market, ultimately driving the overall progress of carbon emission reduction efforts.
Enhance Transparency and Trust
In the carbon credits market, trust and transparency are paramount. Open-sourcing findings provides a transparent view of the data, methodologies, and results, allowing for open scrutiny and verification of the information presented. This transparency can help in establishing trust among the users, regulators, and participants of the carbon credit ecosystem, which is essential for the growth and acceptance of tokenized carbon credits.
Foster Education and Awareness
By sharing knowledge and findings openly, a wide range of individuals and entities can access and learn from the information available. This can help in raising awareness about the importance and potential of tokenized carbon credits in mitigating climate change. Educating a broader audience can empower more participants to join the efforts in reducing carbon emissions and can lead to a more informed and engaged community, contributing to the global goal of environmental sustainability.
