The broader impact of this SBIR Phase I project is to track potential environmental impact in a tamper-proof fashion. This database can be used for outreach, benchmarking, and other applications. The forecasts developed can be used to inform strategic resource allocation decisions and other discussions regarding environmental sustainability. This project integrates traditional carbon analysis methods, such as Life Cycle Assessment, with distributed ledgers and the internet of things to create a global carbon emission tracking system. This system will incorporate data from a sensor network measuring air quality, water quality, atmospheric carbon levels, and other variables. This project will conduct design and development of a dynamic system of carbon tracking using blockchain to verify records over time, creating a centralized, tamper-proof record for global carbon emissions. The project will also develop improved models and forecasts on various regional, industrial, and temporal scales.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

SBIR第一阶段项目的更广泛影响是以防篡改的方式跟踪潜在的环境影响。 该数据库可用于外展、基准测试和其他应用。 所编制的预测可用于为战略资源分配决定和有关环境可持续性的其他讨论提供信息。 该项目将传统的碳分析方法（如生命周期评估）与分布式账本和物联网相结合，以创建一个全球碳排放跟踪系统。 该系统将整合来自传感器网络的数据，测量空气质量，水质，大气碳水平和其他变量。该项目将设计和开发一个动态的碳跟踪系统，使用区块链来验证记录，为全球碳排放创建一个集中的、防篡改的记录。该项目还将开发各种区域、行业和时间尺度的改进模型和预测。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
