Verra & Hedera Rewire Carbon Markets: Blockchain's Impact - Joe Dell'Orfano & Wes Geisenberger

In this episode of This Week in Carbon, host Rene Velasquez dives into the future of carbon markets with Joe Dell'Orfano from Verra and Wes Geisenberger from the HBAR Foundation. They discuss Verra’s groundbreaking shift to a next-generation registry infrastructure with S&P Global Commodity Insights, powered by Hedera’s blockchain technology. This partnership is set to transform the carbon market by replacing static PDFs with machine-readable, transparent, and auditable digital systems.


Key Highlights:

• Verra’s move away from its long-term registry partner APX to a new system focused on digitization and interoperability.

• How Hedera’s blockchain creates an immutable audit trail, streamlining project onboarding, methodology digitization, and long-term monitoring.

• The potential for real-time data insights, from satellite monitoring to financial traceability, to boost market confidence and liquidity.

• Addressing double counting and interoperability with other carbon markets, including compliance systems and Article 6 frameworks.


Topics Discussed:

• The role of Verra’s Project Hub in digitizing methodologies and enabling real-time project tracking.

• How blockchain enhances transparency and trust, benefiting stakeholders like project developers, buyers, and rating agencies.

• The vision for a scalable carbon market with standardized data, supporting everything from voluntary credits to national registries.

• Financial integrity in carbon projects, including tracing funds from forward contracts to community impacts.


Join us to explore how Verra and Hedera are laying the digital rails for a more transparent, efficient, and scalable carbon market.
