Carbon credit NFTs are only effective if burned, experts say
专家指出，碳信用NFT只有在销毁的情况下才有效
Using nonfungible tokens (NFTs) as carbon credits or carbon offsets reveals an outlet for Web3 technology to foster a more environmentally friendly future. NFTs as carbon credits are a slow-rolling trend in the regenerative finance (ReFi) and decentralized finance (DeFi) markets. Most of this activity currently takes place on the Polygon blockchain, as it has already offset its entire carbon footprint. However, the way these digital assets work with carbon credits differs from other ventures in the space.

#Carboncredit #NFT
In recent years, the application of blockchain has become very popular and has given rise to unlimited business opportunities in the NFT market, but applying the digital product of NFT to the green economy is a completely new investment concept.
The issuance of carbon credit NFT token can be said to be a perfect combination of blockchain and carbon credit market. Each ton of carbon asset is marked with unique NFT digital identity authentication, which cannot be copied, and the holder does not have to worry about the loss of carbon asset, which is extremely safe and can stimulate enterprises to buy and sell carbon asset NFT on the platform, and the circulation volume increases as a result.
Does NFT generate carbon emissions?
Although NFT is a kind of digital credential based on blockchain technology contract, but its carbon emissions can not be underestimated. The New York Times criticized:
“Creating an average NFT would produce very large carbon emissions, bringing in over 200 kilograms of carbon, equivalent to the carbon footprint produced by an average American gasoline-powered car traveling 500 miles, emissions that would cause the planet to warm.”
In fact, the process of minting NFT alone produces 83 kilograms of carbon, and it does not end there. Each time someone bids on an NFT, 23 kilograms of carbon are produced, each NFT sale produces 51 kilograms of carbon, and each NFT transfer produces 30 kilograms of carbon. In addition, a secondary NFT sale will generate an additional 81 kg of carbon, requiring 1.35 trees to offset.
What is carbon credit NFT?
A carbon credit is a permit that allows a user to emit a certain amount of carbon dioxide, and one carbon credit is equal to one ton of carbon dioxide emissions. Carbon credits are generally divided into two categories: one is voluntary emission reduction (VER), which can be used for over-the-counter or voluntary market for credits trading; the other is certified emission reduction (CER), which is issued by regulatory agencies and can be put into the carbon financial market for trading by countries or enterprises that have not used up their credits.
By putting the carbon footprint on the chain, the technical features of blockchain, such as decentralization and traceability, support the credible record of the whole life cycle of carbon footprint and the credible flow of the whole element of carbon emission. Based on blockchain, users can complete various low-carbon behaviors in the platform and carry out carbon verification, carbon trading, carbon finance, etc.
In the markets of regenerative finance (ReFi) and decentralised finance (DeFi), NFTs as carbon credits are now a slowly emerging trend. The Polygon blockchain, which has already offset all of its carbon footprint, is where the majority of this activity is presently taking place. However, these digital assets utilise carbon credits differently than traditional businesses in the sector.
Carbon credit NFT is not a store of value or an actual content of digital art. It act as a database for data pertaining to a particular bag of carbon offsets. This information may include, but is not limited to, the total amount of offsets, the removal’s vintage year, the project name, the geographical location, or the certification method used.
