The warehouse has been built since 2019, with the World Bank, Chile, Singapore, and more than 70 players involved.

It will track projects, types of carbon credits, standards, mitigation outcomes and potentialy trades.

It’s been enabled by article six of the Paris climate deal and blockchain technology, with rules approved in Glasgow last November at the UNFCCC talks.

Transparency is key, said Juan Pedro Searle, head of climate for Chile.

Details were provided at the European Climate Summit.

“One challenge will be to reach the level of (required) robustness,” Searle said.

The warehouse is moving from testing phases this year to an operational phase.
