Extracting market value from sustainability: Pricing in Externalities 

Session to unveil how blockchain technologies allow actors to value externalities and create value from being sustainable can record and create value for sustainability.  

For example, a ton of carbon has market value – by reducing carbon emissions and recording that saving with blockchain, users can be awarded with the value created from company profits in carbon markets. The value of tin, or glass, returned to the production cycle, can be extracted and rewarded to consumers who leverage blockchain and prove their activity.  

For large scale commercial ops, companies can use 2D tech (graphene) to capture, record carbon, creating verified carbon credits which can be both verified and sold in to carbon markets.
