This post is about a pallet, not a partnership. pallet-carbon-credits (runtime index 37) is in the live EmpoorioChain runtime and no organisation issues credits through it today. Here is what it is for, and what would have to be true for a climate project to use it.
What the pallet provides
A carbon credit on EmpoorioChain is a native asset with a lifecycle: issued by a registered issuer against a project, transferred, and retired — permanently removed when someone claims the offset. Each credit carries a reference to its project and vintage. Retirement is irreversible and emits an event, which is the property that makes an on-chain credit more auditable than a spreadsheet.
How a project would use it
- Register the issuer with
pallet-identity-ssi: a KryptoOSdid:empfor the certifying body, so that only a credentialed issuer can mint. - Anchor the evidence: monitoring reports, imagery, sensor data — committed through
pallet-blob-storage(1 MB for 0.000095 DMS) with availability verified by the storage oracle. The chain holds the hash; the data is retrievable. - Issue credits against the project, one asset id per project and vintage.
- Sell or transfer through
pallet-marketplaceor the DEX, withpallet-compliancerules if the jurisdiction requires holder restrictions. - Retire on behalf of the buyer; the retirement event is the buyer's proof.
If the monitoring involves physical sensors, pallet-device-registry and pallet-iot-telemetry — the same IoT suite OmilooS reports solar generation into — can attest that a reading came from a registered device.
What is missing
- An issuer. No certifying body has a
did:emp; the chain registered its first DID on 14 September 2026. - A methodology. The pallet does not define what a tonne is; a recognised standard would have to be mapped onto it.
- Real traffic. The pallet is wired, not exercised.
- Any partner. The previous version of this page described a climate organisation's deployment on another chain, renamed. That relationship does not exist here.
Why keep the pallet
Because the ecosystem has a genuine reason to want it: OmilooS measures solar inverters and mesh-network contribution and rewards them through pallet-solar-generation and pallet-mesh-rewards. A device that provably generated clean energy is the upstream of a credit. Whether that becomes a market is a question for a pilot — the testnet grants programme has an infrastructure category that fits — and this page will describe a real one when it exists.
