Abstract

Various implementations described herein may refer to a system and method for trading emissions units. In one implementation, a method may include receiving emissions attribute data from users for emissions objects, where a respective emissions object is associated with a respective emissions output. The method may also include receiving evidence data from the users for the emissions objects, where the respective device is configured to transmit the evidence data to a distributed ledger. The method may further include determining emissions output data for the emissions objects. The method may additionally include transmitting the emissions output data to the distributed ledger. The method may also include generating emissions units for the users based on the emissions output data. The method may further include providing an emissions market platform to the users for trading the emissions units.
