Filecoin / Filecoin Orbit - Green

As the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) calls 'code red' for the environment, we are rapidly building tools to track the environmental impacts of Filecoin and verifiably decarbonize. Learn about the work we've done so far, toolsets soon to be released, and the path forward in building a more sustainable network.

Hear an overview of tools being developed to connect Filecoin and other networks to renewable energy markets. Firstly, Meerim discusses how the Energy Attribute system works in existing renewable energy markets around the world. Then Andres discusses a Web3 native system under development known as EW Zero designed for Web3 applications to interface with these markets.
