About this course
An applied elective on blockchain and digital monitoring, reporting and verification (dMRV). Examine sustainability traceability, carbon-market records and the design of auditable evidence workflows. Compare distributed ledgers with conventional databases and develop a prototype using synthetic data.
What you’ll learn
Explain blockchain architecture and select appropriate use cases. Design a digital MRV workflow linking measurements, supporting evidence and verification decisions. Distinguish evidence records, reward tokens and registry-issued carbon credits. Evaluate registry interoperability, retirement and double-counting controls. Assess privacy, security, governance and environmental footprint. Demonstrate a prototype and defend its evidence and control plan.
What you need
SC01 Climate Change and Carbon Market Foundations and SC10 MRV Systems and Field Data Quality, or equivalent knowledge. Basic spreadsheet and digital-data skills. SC08 and SC13 are recommended for carbon-project applications.
