Earlier this month, dClimate, a decentralized climate information ecosystem, announced a partnership with Namibia through the University of Namibia to become a verifier of the country’s sustainability and carbon impact initiatives through blockchain technology.
This agreement that is another sample of the breadth of fields where blockchain can be executed, will allow dClimate to establish a blockchain-native registration and verification system to quantify carbon sequestration, carbon emissions, and carbon credits from green hydrogen projects in the African country.
For its part, Id Jha, the founding partner, dClimate expressed his enthusiasm for this new partnership and stressed that their intentions were to use transparent satellite monitoring to create a scalable blockchain native registry and verification system to quantify the global carbon impact of Namibia.
“By working together with the staff, researchers and academics at the University of Namibia, we will be able to verify the country’s carbon credits to help support ongoing green hydrogen projects within the country,” he said.
“This not only represents an exciting use case for how blockchain technology can drive climate action, but also how countries can harness decentralized climate data to support sustainability projects,” he added.
Also, the Namibian Presidential Economic Advisor and Hydrogen Commissioner, James Mnyupementioned that heNamibia’s green hydrogen ambitions are testament to its commitment to combating climate change through its efforts to decarbonize local, regional and global industrial clusters.
“dClimate’s data platform promises to accurately capture Namibia’s efforts to combat climate change and enable us to monetize green hydrogen in a scalable way. This partnership is in line with Namibia’s intentions to diversify its funding sources, such as established in its National Integrated Financing Framework,” added Mnyupe.
In this way, dClimate, which is closely integrated with Chainlink’s decentralized oracle network to support independent on-chain data validation, becomes one of the main elements of the green hydrogen industry in Namibia, a country that during the last years it has become a leader in production and that, by the end of the year, it was awarded a contract for a project worth 9.4 billion dollars to produce 300,000 tons of green hydrogen annually with the intention of supporting the growing global demand for clean energy.
