Restoring trust in the carbon markets with URECA

"The reason I really like Algorand is because there’s a huge community there. The technology libraries are easy to use. The transaction speed is extremely fast compared to other blockchains."

- Chandmani-Erdene Tsend-Ayush, Back-end Engineer, Ureca

The carbon market struggles with trust, transparency, and efficient verification, preventing both wider private sector investment and household participation in emissions reduction projects.

Ureca uses AI, IoT, and the Algorand blockchain to automate and streamline emission verification for real-time monitoring, carbon credit generation, and household participation in offsetting emissions.

Key benefits

01

Carbon reduction projects get verified with blockchain and internet-connected devices, building real-time trust and transparency.

02

Households can measure their own carbon use and generate credits, turning their emission reductions into income or energy payments.

03

Real-time, autonomous data collection and verification reduces costs and other inefficiencies.

User-friendly Algorand technology and libraries simplify Ureca’s development process.

Algorand’s low transaction fees support an economically viable carbon credits market.

Algorand’s fast transaction speed ensures real-time verification and reporting of carbon reductions.
