myCO2.green: Digital Certification Registry for Environmental Assets
myCO2.green is proprietary infrastructure for the registration, validation, transfer, insurance and retirement of certified environmental assets, designed for industrial operators, financial institutions and enterprise ESG programmes. The system unifies, within a single operational flow, the management of carbon credits, biodiversity attestations and other verifiable environmental instruments, with cryptographic timestamping, blockchain notarisation on a permissioned network and an immutable audit trail for every lifecycle event.
The platform integrates a documentary due diligence engine, consistency checks on serial numbers and project metadata, multi-level approval workflows and risk coverage modules for managing embedded insurance coverage. Each asset is associated with a digital record containing standardised technical indicators, for example: unique issuance code, generation methodology, validity period, jurisdiction, compliance status, operational risk level and transfer history. The architecture supports scalable processes of up to 10,000 certification records per day, with average validation times configurable to below 15 minutes for standardised cases.
Explore the Architecture
The Strategic Vision
myCO2.green is conceived as a next-generation proprietary registry, designed to integrate, within a single operational environment, all the functions required for the end-to-end management of certified environmental assets: project onboarding, document validation, unit issuance, transaction traceability, title transfer, operational risk insurance and final retirement. The architecture is built to support a registry with a full audit trail, unique identifiers for each asset, immutable operational history and structured consultation of project data, with a level of reliability and transparency suitable for institutional investors, banks and corporate ESG organisations with rigorous due diligence processes.
Registry
Public and verifiable registry, with standardised project sheets, environmental metadata, attached documentation, certification status, event chronology and precise tracking of title changes
Marketplace
Trading module with controlled order flow, dedicated escrow, pre-trade verification of credits, matching between supply and demand, and certified transfer only after compliance checks are validated
Blockchain Ledger
Distributed ledger for notarisation of the main life-cycle events — issuance, split, transfer, retirement — with timestamp, cryptographic hash, operational references and proof of record integrity
Insurance Layer
Parametric insurance cover against fraud, serial duplication, document theft, transfer error and loss of evidence, with activation on verifiable events and claims management integrated into the operational flow
Registry Certification Standard
The Registry Model
The myCO2.green certification registry is structured as a public, auditable and chronologically immutable archive of removal projects and the related units issued. For each project, the following are exposed in a clear and verifiable way: applied methodology, quantification standard, geographical area, accrual period, gross volume of COâ‚‚ removed, net volume certified, volume retired, volume still available, asset holder and parties authorised to move it.
Each certified unit corresponds to 1 metric tonne of COâ‚‚ removed in a net and permanent way, with minimum documented durability requirements of 100 years for the more stable categories and with coherence checks on baseline, additionality, leakage and double counting. The checks are carried out by independent auditors on an annual basis or when predetermined operational thresholds are reached, with full traceability of documents, methodological versions and internal approvals.
The transparency of the registry is the basis of its institutional reliability. The myCO2.green transactional ledger records separately and sequentially issuance, transfer, escrow hold, retirement, cancellation and administrative rectifications, assigning each event a verifiable timestamp, a unique transaction identifier and a reference to the certified batch. In this way, the platform maintains coherent environmental accounting, ready for due diligence, compliance checks and analysis by investors, banks and ESG corporates.
Public Registry Data to Integrate
  • Project ID, operating name, methodology, country, region and site coordinates
  • Asset holder, supplier, verifier and quantities certified per batch
  • Quantities issued, available, reserved, transferred, in escrow and retired
  • Final beneficiary, retirement date, retirement reason and associated certificate
  • Links to PDD, monitoring report, audit attestation, serial number and versioned technical files
Transactional States
  • Issuance → Transfer → Escrow Pending → Settlement
  • Blockchain Confirmed → Retired → Retirement Certificate Issued
  • Cancelled / Insured / Disputed / Reversed with audit trail
Insurance Layer and Risk Management
In the carbon credit market, there are highly measurable operational and compliance risks, including document fraud, double issuance, serial number duplication, theft of credits during custody, unavailability of technical attestations, greenwashing and reputational damage. For this reason, myCO2.green integrates a proprietary insurance layer and an end-to-end risk control system that monitors every project throughout the entire credit lifecycle, from initial validation to final retirement.
The module applies controls to project master data, chain of custody, MRV documentation, certificate traceability and transaction status, with automated checks for inconsistencies between issued quantities, available quantities and credits already retired. Each asset is associated with a risk profile updated in near real time, based on indicators such as document completeness, review frequency, audit history, geographical exposure and registry stability.
In the event of anomalies, myCO2.green activates escalation procedures with risk flags, temporary operational blocking, manual review and supplementary attestation. This approach supports the due diligence standards required by institutional investors, banks and corporate ESG, strengthening the economic integrity of the portfolio and the bankability of the credits managed on the platform.
Insurance Layer and MRV Risk Engine
Insurance Layer
Badge "Insured Credit"
Digital label applied to credits covered by an active policy, with unique batch identifier, issue date, coverage expiry, and verified status in the dashboard for due diligence and ESG audit.
Policy linked to the batch
For each batch, myCO2.green records the insured limit, coverage window, risk perimeter, insurer or intermediary, certificate number, project reference, and quantity of tonnes covered.
Policy status
Real-time status flow with states Active, Expired, Claimed and Suspended, updated on renewal events, claims, operational suspension, or changes in risk, with timestamp and transition history.
MRV Risk Engine
Satellite monitoring
Multi-temporal analysis of NDVI and EVI indices over geo-referenced areas, with weekly refresh, alerts for fire, drought, vegetation cover degradation, biomass loss anomalies, and deviations from the MRV baseline.
Multidimensional scoring
Proprietary scoring engine combining project risk, credit risk, seller risk, double issuance risk and revocation risk, producing a synthetic score on a 0-100 scale and a risk band for each batch.
Real-time reporting
Continuous control of inventory movements, issuance, retirement and internal transfers, with automatic registry reconciliation, immediate alerts on document inconsistencies, and an operational log exportable for compliance, the depositary bank and institutional investors.
The New Architecture myCO2.green
Six integrated application modules make up an end-to-end infrastructure designed for the full carbon credit life cycle: project onboarding, data validation, issuance, trading, document custody, insurance coverage, and final retirement. Each module operates autonomously via internal APIs and transactional consistency checks, with a complete audit trail, certified timestamps, and granular traceability at asset, serial, and document level.
myCO2.green Registry
Public register of projects with structured technical sheets, real-time lifecycle status, issuance metadata, verification references, unique serialisation of credits, and an event history available by batch, vintage, and methodology.
myCO2.green Marketplace
Trading module with native escrow, KYC/KYB workflow, end-beneficiary checks, and T+0/T+1 settlement rules, with transfer recorded for each individual credit, preventive blocking of ineligible batches, and operational confirmation after document validation.
Blockchain Ledger
Immutable notarisation layer with on-chain hash for every critical operation: issuance, split, transfer, retirement, and cancellation. Each transaction includes batch ID, serials involved, document checksum, UTC date/time, and reference to the authorised wallet or institutional account.
MRV Vault
Certified technical archive for PDD, baseline model, independent verifications, audit reports, geo-referenced photographs, satellite layers, third-party attestations, and issuance serials, with file versioning, multi-year retention policy, and role-based access control.
Insurance Desk
Insurance integration for cover against fraud, double selling, document loss, and validity disputes, with policy parameters linked to the individual batch, dedicated coverage limit, cover duration, trigger event, and guarantee status updated in real time.
Retirement Certificate
Final certificate downloadable in a verifiable format with QR code, beneficiary name, retired serials, blockchain hash, reference to the original batch, retirement date, and attached documentary proof, ready for ESG reporting, internal audit, and corporate disclosure.
Minimum Data Structure of the Credit
The difference between a simple purchasing interface and an institutional-grade certificatory register lies in the quality of data serialisation. In myCO2.green, every credit is recorded as a unique digital asset, with a persistent identifier, normalised metadata, documentary evidence and a complete event chain that enables verification, audit and reconciliation at any stage of the lifecycle.
Identity and Provenance
  • Unique Credit ID — non-reusable alphanumeric serial, generated at the moment of issue and permanently associated with the original lot
  • myCO2.green Project ID, project name, country, removal or avoidance technology and approved methodology
  • Vintage (year of generation or removal), with annual granularity and the issue date recorded in the system
  • Nominal quantity expressed in tCOâ‚‚e, with precision to three decimal places to handle fractions and adjustments
  • Reference standard, validator, certificate number and version of the methodology applied
Status and Ownership
  • Current owner, subject code, account type and legal status of the title (available, encumbered, transferred or retired)
  • myCO2.green registry status with tracked workflow: issued, listed, reserved, transferred, escrowed, retired
  • Any operational escrow, settlement counterparty, retirement beneficiary and timestamp of the fund or asset lock
Technical and Insurance Evidence
  • Blockchain hash — SHA-256 cryptographic fingerprint or equivalent, recorded for every credit lifecycle event as immutable notarisation proof
  • Versioned PDF certificate linked to the master record, with integrity checksum and digitally signed document archive
  • Public verification QR code that links to the credit record, the current status, the token event log and the retirement proof
  • Insurance status with active cover, expiry, limit, excess and policy references associated with the credit

In myCO2.green, strong serialisation is not an operational detail: it is the requirement that transforms an information asset into a certificatory register. Without unique identification, a complete audit trail and verifiable documentation, the credit is not defensible for investors, banks or corporate ESG.
Blockchain as a Notarial Register
In myCO2.green the blockchain is not used for simple market tokenisation, but as an immutable notarial layer supporting credit governance. Every relevant event in the lifecycle — issuance, document validation, transfer of ownership, placement in escrow, retirement and final archiving — generates a SHA-256 hash recorded on-chain with a timestamp, Project ID, serialised Credit ID and a reference to the operational module that executed the action.
The register maintains an end-to-end chain of verifiable evidence: the PDF certificate, the project’s technical metadata, the amount in tCO₂e, the vintage, the legal status and any retirement beneficiary are anchored to a unique and non-modifiable record. Every on-chain write is signed by the authorised myCO2.green module, with integrity checks, version tracking and an audit trail that can be consulted at any time by investors, banks and corporate ESG functions.
This approach enables myCO2.green to produce a chronological proof with a high degree of reliability: the sequence of events is verifiable, the content cannot be altered retrospectively, and reconciliation between document, registry status and cryptographic proof takes place in real time. In practice, the blockchain functions as a distributed digital notary, with granularity at the level of the individual credit and a technical trail sufficient to support due diligence, compliance checks and institutional audit processes.
The Events that Generate On-Chain Hashes
1
Project Creation
When a myCO2.green project is created, a SHA-256 hash is calculated from the project master record, including the unique code, intervention geography, adopted technology, proposing entity, onboarding date, document set version and the identifier of the initial validation module.
2
Document Upload
Each upload to the document repository generates a separate hash for each critical file: Project Design Document, audit report, third-party verifications, monitoring evidence, technical certificates and due diligence appendices. The system also records the checksum, UTC timestamp, document version and fingerprint of the overall package.
3
Credit Issuance
When each myCO2.green credit is issued, a minting hash is produced that links the progressive serial number, quantity expressed in tCO2e, vintage year, initial owner, lot metadata, reference to the parent project and the registry state at the time of issuance. The event creates a unique and non-modifiable proof of the original credit.
4
Transfer
Each transfer of ownership triggers a transfer hash that incorporates the sender and recipient addresses, number of credits transferred, identifier of the fractional or aggregated lot, certified timestamp, reference to the previous transaction and the operational reason for the transfer. In this way, the chain of custody remains verifiable end to end.
5
Retirement
Retirement generates a final hash that crystallises the permanent retirement of the credit: retirement beneficiary, quantity retired, declared purpose, cancellation certificate, date and time of execution and reference to the originating portfolio. The credit status is then marked as no longer tradeable and archived for audit and ESG reporting.
6
Insurance Activation
Activating the insurance cover produces a hash linked to the specific lot, including policy number, insurance company, covered limit, validity period, insured event, credit code or insured bucket code and version of the contractual terms. The policy thus becomes an integral part of the credit traceability.
In the myCO2.green model, the credit can also be represented by an NFT, which does not replace the underlying credit but constitutes its verifiable digital representation. The NFT brings together, in a single object, the economic right, the on-chain tracking evidence, the linked document certificate, the link to the origin lot and the credit's status updated in real time, making due diligence immediate for investors, banks and ESG teams.
MICU: The New Flagship Product
myCO2 Insured Carbon Unit
MICU
MICU is myCO2.green’s insured and tokenised carbon unit: 1 verified tCO₂e, with complete MRV documentation, unique serialisation, registration on a permissioned blockchain, and an end-to-end certified lifecycle status. The credit is structured as a traceable digital asset, with technical metadata, an immutable audit trail, and integrated insurance cover for critical lifecycle events.
Each MICU Represents:
  • 1 tCOâ‚‚e associated with a project validated according to myCO2.green’s MRV framework, with project geometry, monitoring period, applied methodology and progressive lot serial number
  • Complete technical documentation in the MRV Vault, including PDD, verification reports, field evidence, certifications, compliance appendices and signed document hashes
  • Immutable tracking on blockchain with registration of key events: issuance, transfer, split/merge of lot, retirement and final attestation with certified timestamp
  • Transferability governed by a transaction register, with holder control, historical counterparties, verification of available balance and prevention of double counting
  • Retirement with a named certificate and verifiable QR code, containing the MICU’s unique ID, retirement date, final beneficiary, project of origin and irrevocable credit status
  • Insurable cover against document fraud, double sale, loss of file integrity, digital theft, operational error, certification invalidity and custody-chain anomalies, with parameterised insurance triggers

For banks, funds and ESG corporates, MICU introduces a more robust level of due diligence than traditional credits: credit assetisation, verifiable technical proof, control of document risk and greater regulatory readability for procurement, structured finance and sustainability reporting.

Standardised CSV and PDF exports are provided for internal reporting, due diligence and integration with enterprise systems, alongside an immutable audit trail with timestamp, user action, document checksum and log of critical events for every operation performed on the platform.
Strategic Positioning in the Market
myCO2.green positions itself as a next-generation environmental registry designed to cover the entire lifecycle of certified environmental assets: origination, validation, issuance, transfer, monitoring and retirement. The platform integrates a modular infrastructure composed of the registry layer, MRV engine, transfer desk and risk & insurance module, with end-to-end tracking of every batch through unique IDs, event timestamps and an immutable audit trail.
From an operational perspective, myCO2.green manages assets with structured metadata on project, geolocation, quantification methodology, vintage, certification status and chain of custody. The integrated MRV module combines satellite acquisition, field checks and document validation, generating technical indicators such as vegetation cover, biomass variation, risk anomalies and alerts for critical events. This enables investors, banks and ESG corporates to access a unified view of asset quality, compliance and bankability.
The platform extends the value of the registry with high-technology services: insurance desk for dedicated batch cover, blockchain transfer for notarising movements, structured CSV/PDF exports and APIs for integration with compliance, treasury and procurement systems. In this way, myCO2.green does not merely register assets, but provides a complete operational ecosystem for the management, traceability and certification of environmental portfolios at industrial scale.
A key differentiating element is the Carbon Reserve Agreement model: myCO2.green enables large corporate operators and commercial networks to lock in dedicated batches of carbon credits — with serial numbers assigned and guaranteed availability — without any obligation for advance purchase. Payment is made exclusively upon actual transfer, on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis according to framework agreements. This lowers the entry barrier for large organisations with thousands of operational units, enabling progressive, verifiable and financially sustainable decarbonisation pathways.
Carbon Reserve Agreement: The Pay-on-Transfer Model
myCO2.green introduces an innovative contractual model that removes the main entry barrier for large organisations: the obligation to purchase carbon credits in advance. The Carbon Reserve Agreement allows dedicated lots to be reserved, serial numbers to be assigned, and future availability to be guaranteed without immobilising capital.
How It Works
  1. Step 1 — Carbon Assessment: analysis of the organisation's Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions (sites, energy consumption, mobility, IT, marketing, events, franchising network)
  1. Step 2 — Lot Definition: myCO2.green blocks and reserves a dedicated volume of carbon credits with unique serial numbers assigned to the client
  1. Step 3 — Framework Agreement: contract with monthly, quarterly or annual transfer frequency; no pre-purchase obligation
  1. Step 4 — Progressive Transfer: the credits are transferred and retired according to the agreed schedule; payment takes place only at the point of actual transfer
  1. Step 5 — ESG Reporting: quarterly report with serial number, tonnes offset, associated project, blockchain audit trail and support for the sustainability report
Client Benefits
  • No initial capital immobilisation
  • Dedicated and guaranteed environmental reserve
  • Operational flexibility: payment only on actual use
  • Progressive and credible decarbonisation pathway
  • ESG certificates for each operational unit (agency, site, division)
  • Blockchain traceability QR code for each transferred lot
  • Centralised dashboard for real-time monitoring
  • Support for the sustainability report and CSRD reporting
  • Positioning as a verifiable "Carbon Neutral" organisation

Use Case: Real Estate Networks on the Path to Net Zero
Large franchised real estate networks are one of the most strategic targets for myCO2.green. With thousands of agencies distributed across the market, tens of thousands of collaborators, and a widespread operational footprint, these organisations have a structured and ongoing compensation need — and a strong reputational lever to capitalise on.
01
Phase 1 — Carbon Assessment of the Network
Analysis of Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions across the entire network: electricity and heating consumption at agencies, business mobility for agencies and agents, IT infrastructure and data centres, printed marketing materials, national events and training, and indirect emissions from the franchising network. Estimated requirement: 15,000–25,000 tCO₂e/year for the Italy network; 30,000–50,000 tCO₂e/year for the international group.
02
Phase 2 — Dedicated Carbon Reserve
myCO2.green blocks an initial dedicated lot of carbon credits with serial numbers assigned to the network. The credits come from Italian nature-based projects (e.g. bamboo Moso afforestation, Calabria) with a territorial narrative aligned with the real estate positioning. No upfront purchase: the reserve is guaranteed and can be activated progressively.
03
Phase 3 — Carbon Neutral Agencies
Each affiliated agency receives: a digital ESG compensation certificate, a blockchain traceability QR code linking to the project and the serial numbers of the retired credits, a "Carbon Neutral Agency" badge for shopfronts and sales materials, and an individual report with compensated tonnes and associated environmental impact.
04
Phase 4 — Impact-Compensated Properties
The programme extends to property transactions: each sale, green mortgage or notarial process can include a share of associated COâ‚‚ compensation. The end customer receives a "compensated impact transaction" certificate with a blockchain QR code. This creates a strong and measurable commercial differentiator for the network.
05
Phase 5 — Centralised ESG Reporting and CSRD
myCO2.green generates consolidated quarterly reports for the group: compensation register with serial numbers, immutable audit trail, blockchain dashboard, tonnes retired by geographic area and by operating unit. Everything is structured to support the company's sustainability report and the EU reporting requirements of the CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive).

Carbon Markets: Voluntary and Mandatory
myCO2.green is designed to operate in an integrated way across both segments of the carbon market, with a tracking, validation and reporting architecture that enables the management of both voluntary credits and compliance instruments, in line with the main applicable European and international regulatory frameworks. The platform supports end-to-end operational flows, from asset classification to the recording of documentary evidence, through to the generation of outputs useful for audit, due diligence and ESG disclosure.
Voluntary Market (VCM)
  • Companies, funds, family offices and organisations purchase voluntary credits to offset residual emissions, support Net Zero strategies and produce verifiable ESG claims on an annual basis or for individual initiatives
  • Estimated market size: 15.83 billion dollars in 2025, growing to 120.47 billion by 2030, equivalent to a CAGR of 50.06%; myCO2.green uses these parameters as the basis for allocation scenarios and supply planning
  • The myCO2.green VCM pipeline classifies credits by technology, geography, vintage, methodology and permanence level, with operational filters on tCO2e, issuance status, retirement, buffer contribution and environmental co-benefits
  • Main standards integrated into the selection and quality control processes: Verra VCS, Gold Standard, ACR, CAR and ART TREES, with metadata normalisation to compare heterogeneous methodologies within a single procurement dashboard
  • myCO2.green’s quality screening engine applies integrity criteria for additionality, leakage, permanence, MRV and reversal risk; the credits are then classified using proprietary internal suitability tags, with priority given to projects with strong documentary robustness
  • The platform explicitly separates the Avoidance/Reduction and Removal categories: the former includes energy efficiency, fuel switching and renewable energy projects; the latter includes afforestation, blue carbon, biochar, direct air capture and other durable removal solutions
  • For operational reporting, myCO2.green aggregates indicators such as tCO2e purchased, tCO2e retired, weighted average price, proportion of high-permanence credits and percentage coverage versus the portfolio’s Net Zero target
  • Traceability evidence includes credit serial number, issuance date, retirement date, final beneficiaries, project documentation and verification logs, making it easier to conduct internal checks, external audits and impact attestations
Mandatory Market (Compliance)
  • EU ETS (Emission Trading System): myCO2.green supports monitoring of regulated segments, reconciliation between verified emissions and surrender obligations, and preparation of information dossiers for industrial entities subject to cap-and-trade within the European perimeter
  • The platform’s compliance flow is structured to capture data on facilities, operational units, organisational boundaries and emissions intensity, enabling mapping of Scope 1 emissions and, where relevant, obligations to offset or purchase allowances
  • CORSIA (Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation): myCO2.green enables classification of credits eligible for international aviation, with management of the 2024–2026 operational window in the first formal phase and segregation of eligible assets according to CEEU criteria
  • Article 6 of the Paris Agreement: myCO2.green supports the functional distinction between Article 6.2, for bilateral transfers of internationally transferred mitigation outcomes (ITMOs), and Article 6.4, for credits generated through the UN centralised mechanism (PACM), with tracking of authorisations and accounting correspondences
  • Document management includes dedicated fields for host country authorisation, corresponding adjustment, validity period, baseline methodology, unit type and transfer status, thereby supporting integrity checks on cross-border transfers and mitigation claims
  • The Carbon Removal Certification Framework (CRCF): myCO2.green is prepared to classify and archive certified removal projects, including technical parameters such as durability, ex post monitoring, quantification of removal and management of the non-permanence risk
  • For corporate and financial clients, the compliance module generates technical summaries intended for boards, investors and risk functions, with indicators on regulatory exposure, coverage ratio, decarbonisation trajectory and variance from internal targets
  • myCO2.green’s internal control architecture includes validations on consistency between activity data, emission factors, third-party verification evidence and the regulatory status of the credit, reducing the risk of accounting mismatches and non-compliance in disclosure processes
Third-Party Certification and Verification Bodies
The bankability and allocation of reputational risk for each carbon credit managed by myCO2.green depend on an independent, documented and traceable verification chain. The platform accepts only credits accompanied by audit evidence issued by qualified third parties, with a complete chain of custody, unique project identifiers and explicit reference to the cycle of validation, periodic verification and credit issuance. Each dossier uploaded into the MRV Vault includes validation reports, verification statements, attestation letters and technical metadata required for review by investors, banks and corporate ESG teams.
Validation & Verification Bodies (VVB)
Third-party bodies accredited to carry out the initial validation of the project and the verification of the reductions or removals generated, with formal approval from the registry manager and accreditation compliant with ISO 14065:2020 and ISO/IEC 17029. In myCO2.green, VVBs must produce an evidence pack comprising the design document, baseline assessment, M&V monitoring, sampling and site visit log, with a digital signature and time stamp. Eligible categories include environmental audit firms, forestry & land use certification bodies, laboratories accredited for soil carbon analysis and verifiers specialising in LCA.
ICVCM — Integrity Council for the Voluntary Carbon Market
An independent methodological integrity body that defines the Core Carbon Principles (CCP) and the related quality criteria for additionality, permanence, leakage, quantification and governance. For myCO2.green, the ICVCM reference is used as a quality filter at the methodology and issued unit level: credits associated with standards and protocols assessed as CCP-ready are classified in the internal risk-scoring system with high priority and may receive an integrity badge in the due diligence panel. Monitoring takes place at methodology, registry and issue vintage level, with periodic updates to the compliance profile.
ISEAL Alliance
An international benchmark for the quality of sustainability standard-setting systems, adopted by myCO2.green as a reference for procedural robustness. Membership of ISEAL is read as an indicator of the maturity of the standard system: public consultation of methodologies, periodic review, conflict-of-interest management, grievance mechanisms and continuous improvement. Within the platform workflows, this information feeds the “Standard Governance Score”, useful for comparing projects with differing levels of methodological and reputational oversight.
UNFCCC — Designated Operational Entities (DOE)
Entities designated for the validation and verification of projects within the UN framework, with activities carried out under the supervision of the UNFCCC Secretariat and in accordance with the procedural requirements of the CDM and the new Article 6.4 PACM. myCO2.green acquires DOE documents for projects that require multi-layer traceability towards the international compliance framework, verifying the existence of validation reports, monitoring reports, verification statements and serial number allocation. This makes it possible to clearly distinguish between generated credits, issued credits and retired credits, reducing the risk of double counting.
Role of myCO2.green
myCO2.green does not operate as a certification body, but as a control, archiving and document-intelligence layer above the verification process. Every hosted credit must be linked to an accredited VVB, a valid verification and a minimum set of technical metadata: project ID, methodology ID, vintage, issuance date, buffer contribution, serial number range and retirement status. The MRV Vault stores the original files, the version history and the immutable hashes of the audit documents, making it possible to carry out rapid, auditable due diligence in line with the requirements of institutional counterparties.
The Target Market
With the Registry + Marketplace + Blockchain + Insurance + MRV architecture, myCO2.green positions itself as a market infrastructure for operators that require document due diligence, end-to-end traceability and integrity controls on every carbon credit. The platform is designed to support institutional stakeholders with KYC/KYB onboarding procedures, an immutable audit trail, role segregation and verifiable access to the technical and contractual documentation associated with each asset.
Financial Sector
Banks, infrastructure funds, asset managers and insurance companies can assess credit portfolios with standardised metadata, versioned MRV documentation, unique project identifiers, retirement or availability status and a transaction history recorded on-chain. This enables risk analysis, eligibility constraint checks and rapid verification of internal compliance before any purchase, custody or hedging operation.
Corporate ESG
Industrial groups and corporates with net zero goals — aviation, shipping, real estate, oil & gas, manufacturing and retail — can access credits with project documentation, additionality evidence, baseline, periodic monitoring and a retirement status that can be consulted. myCO2.green supports ESG procurement flows with reporting for Scope 1, Scope 2 and carbon-neutral claims, alongside checks on quantity, vintage and alignment with corporate sustainability policies.
Net Zero Platforms
Aggregators, marketplaces and offsetting solutions can integrate the myCO2.green register via dedicated APIs, with endpoints for credit search, availability verification, reservation, transfer, retirement and retrieval of the associated documentation. The system exposes normalised data on project, methodology, serial number and operational status, enabling near real-time synchronisation, reduced manual errors and alignment of offsetting flows with traceable settlement logic.
Real Estate & Franchise Networks
Large franchised real estate networks — with thousands of agencies distributed across national and international markets — represent a high-potential target for structured ESG programmes. myCO2.green supports progressive offsetting models for networks with more than 4,000 agencies and 16,000 collaborators, with estimated needs between 15,000 and 50,000 tCO₂e/year. The platform manages the dedicated carbon credit reserve for each network, progressive transfer by agency or geographical area, automatic generation of ESG certificates for each operating unit and the central dashboard for the group's sustainability reporting.
Competitive Differentiators
The myCO2.green proposition is built on a tightly integrated four-layer architecture — Registry, Blockchain, Insurance and MRV — designed to meet the due diligence requirements of institutional investors, banks and ESG corporates. The serialised public register maintains a complete and consultable history of every transaction, with unique lot identifiers, timestamps, credit status and chain of custody; every operation is tracked at event level, enabling precise reconstruction of the credit’s journey from issuance to retirement. The Blockchain layer adds an immutable notarisation layer: for each event in the lifecycle, a cryptographic hash is generated and recorded on-ledger, ensuring data integrity, non-repudiation and independent verification without relying on manual checks. The Insurance module associates each lot with a MICU insured credit badge and an active policy with dedicated cover, intended to reduce perceived risk relating to cancellation, documentary invalidation or compliance discrepancies. Finally, the MRV engine integrates high-frequency satellite monitoring, vegetation indices NDVI/EVI and a multidimensional risk scoring model that combines geospatial, temporal and performance variables, making credit assessment more robust, transparent and defensible in an audit setting. Together, these four modules transform myCO2.green into a complete market infrastructure, with technical, insurance and documentary controls designed to support capital allocation and ESG procurement processes to institutional standards.
The Institutional Statement
myCO2.green is positioned as an independent digital register for the end-to-end management of certified environmental credits, including the unique traceability of each asset, the commercial validation of lots, the transfer of ownership, dedicated insurance cover, and final retirement with the issuance of a digital certificate. Every operation is supported by versioned documentary evidence, immutable logs, and blockchain notarisation with timestamping, cryptographic hash and complete audit trail.
