Iota has been actively involved in Project Alvarium, which Dell first conceptualized in 2019 to use vetoed DCF data, or “fabric of trust,” across heterogeneous systems. Mathew Yarger, Head of Sustainability at Iota Foundation, stated:
“Transparency and trust in data is paramount to address the global issues of climate change and the transition to climate action.”
Sharing details about the initiative, Yarger explained that the four companies have developed an integrated digital measurement, reporting and verification (MRV) tool.
Together with Project Alvarium, digital MRV can collect sensor and manual input data and process it through Dell PowerEdge servers to ultimately deliver near real-time insights into the carbon footprint of sustainable energy facilities. and BioE composting. Yager added:
“We are now able to track and verify the data around climate change and how we actively try to address it on a level that has never been achieved before.”
For its part, KenGen, a Kenya-based energy company, recently invited Bitcoin (BTC) miners to run their operations using its renewable energy capacity.
As Cointelegraph reported, KenGen generates 86% of its power through renewable geothermal sources. Local reports suggest that KenGen plans to lease space at its Olkaria facility, which is located on a volcanic site.
KenGen’s acting director of geothermal development, Peketsa Mwangi, confirmed the company’s intention to host Bitcoin miners in Kenya:
“We’ll have them here because we have the space and the power is close by, which helps with stability.”
