With a series of legislative acts, the European Union wants to achieve the goal of climate neutrality by 2050. Similar to the safeguarding of social standards, it is to be feared that this will lead to a relocation of production to third countries and the subsequent import of goods produced there into the EU. Therefore, systems are to be developed that measure greenhouse gas emissions and compliance with ESG standards along global supply chains, report on them and thus make them verifiable. The core idea of the project is to make use of the characteristics of blockchain technology – immutability of once confirmed tokens, high security against irregular changes and electronic accessibility of the ledger – to build on the findings of initial international pilot tests on CO2 tokens, and to develop such systems in a legally secure, effective and efficient way by tokenizing corresponding information and certificates.
