Let's fix Climate Change with Open Source + Blockchain

[Si Chen @opentaps]

I've put together a free data set of oil and gas industry emissions and climate/energy transition strategies for 24 of the largest companies, including upstream, midstream, downstream, and services. https://t.co/nCDAVxYM7C

This is more of an investment rather than ESG tool, to help identify companies which are better positioned for the energy transition.

Thanks @DHeintzman @blockchainRI for hosting me on your podcast. It was great to talk about climate change, oil and gas, and blockchain's role in helping it reach sustainability. https://t.co/RWnrNg8AKI

What will drive the oil & gas industry to sustainability:
1. Low valuations relative to cashflows
2. Mergers & acquisitions
3. Sustainable assets & companies are more valuable
4. Companies improve sustainability

Our book "Sustainable Oil Gas with Blockchain" is out: https://t.co/HbNJXrdNtl

Thanks @Hyperledger for this post on "Sustainable Oil & Gas with Blockchain" TLDR:
1. Oil & gas is huge +
2. It will need to turn tons of data into trusted climate claims =
3. Huge opportunity for blockchain/web3/dlt

We've found this over & over again while writing our book "Sustainable Oil & Gas with Blockchain." That's why guiding the oil & gas industry is critical for solving the climate problem.

Our book "Sustainable Oil & Gas with Blockchain" will be out soon. I've learned a lot about the oil & gas industry from writing this book, why we need to work with this industry on climate, and how we can do it. See https://t.co/TjRPVmLUAV and https://t.co/ianZYBpL3y

Our @Hyperledger #opensource blockchain carbon accounting project ends the year on a high note! See this video for an example of transferring emissions from natural gas + electric utility to building, then from building to tenant: https://t.co/29xRHbSEpj

@themitak Thanks!

[Si Chen @opentaps]

I'm looking for help promoting an upcoming book about about climate, energy industry, and blockchain. If you've helped with content marketing and book promotion in these areas, please contact me!

[Si Chen @opentaps]

Our #opensource blockchain carbon accounting network is now live! Just issued the first token for a flight on Avalanche Mainnet. Cost: 0.02 AVAX or $0.44 Try it yourself at https://t.co/GUfBwy4K1s - You don't even need a wallet, just an email to sign up.

If you've bought voluntary carbon offsets, did you buy them to feel you've "done some good"?

Would you be OK if your offset may not have really done as much?

Would you be OK if the project would've happened without your support, so you just gave some money to "help out"?

[Si Chen @opentaps]

@yishan Is there a place where I could do that?

[Si Chen @opentaps]

8/8 In other words, I may not be able to buy a Tesla without a carbon offset, but that doesn't mean electric vehicles aren't selling without them.

So, no, I don't think I can sell carbon offsets for buying a Tesla.

[Si Chen @opentaps]

1/8 Let me know what you think of this: If I bought a Tesla, could I sell carbon offsets for it?

Well, it depends...

[Si Chen @opentaps]

7/8
#3 is Additionality. This is the big one. Is a carbon offset really necessary to get the emissions reductions? This should depend on the overall market for this technology.
