Seed

Carbon SEED

Carbon SEED is a core component of the GESIA blockchain, representing the digitized fundamental unit for collecting, analyzing, and aggregating carbon emission and offset data.

Key Features of Carbon SEED

1. Digital Tokenization of Data

   • Carbon SEED is used as a unit to convert actual carbon emission data into digital emission tokens.

2. Metadata-Based Management

   • SEED includes metadata that references the storage location of emission or offset data.

Carbon SEED Metadata

• Seed_ID: A unique identifier for the data.

• Timestamp: The point in time when the data was recorded.

• Storage_Location: The URL of the external system where the data is stored.

• Source: The device or source from which the data was collected.

• Data_Type: The type of data (e.g., Emission, Offset, None).

• Substance: Information about the substance.

  • Type: The type of the substance (e.g., Element, Compound).

  • Name: The name of the substance (e.g., Lithium).

  • Symbol: The symbol of the substance (e.g., Li).

  • Measurement_Unit: The unit of mass used as the basis for the initial substance (e.g., g, kg).

• Base_Substance_Amount: The initial mass used as the reference for the substance.

• Activity_Category: The type of activity associated with the substance (element/compound).

• Per_Unit: The amount of emissions produced per one unit of the substance or energy consumption (e.g., 1 kWh = 424 g).

• Verification_Status: The verification status of the data.

• Geographic_Location: The geographical location where the data was collected.

• Aggregated: Whether the data is individual or aggregated.

• Signed_Value: A signature value ensuring the integrity of the data.
