Iota Foundation, a nonprofit distributed ledger technology ecosystem provider, has partnered with tech giant Dell Technologies to develop a data-driven solution for the real-time tracking of carbon footprints. 

Dell’s edge solutions team announced the onboarding of Iota, climate change-focused technology company ClimateCHECK and BioE to develop a solution on top of Dell’s in-house Data Confidence Fabric (DCF) and Project Alvarium initiatives.

Iota has been an active participant in Project Alvarium, which Dell first conceptualized in 2019 to utilize vetted data from the DCF, or “trust fabric,” across heterogeneous systems. Mathew Yarger, head of sustainability at the Iota Foundation, dohinnergestallt:

"Transparenz a Vertrauen an Donnéeën ass wichteg fir d'global Themen vum Klimawandel an den Iwwergank op d'Klimaaktioun unzegoen."

Sharing details about the initiative, Yarger explained that the four companies developed an integrated digital measurement, reporting and verification (MRV) tool.

In conjunction with Project Alvarium, the digital MRV can pick up data from sensors and manual input and process it through Dell PowerEdge servers to ultimately deliver near-real-time insights into the carbon footprints of BioE’s sustainable energy and composting facility. Yarger added:

"Mir sinn elo fäeg Daten iwwer de Klimawandel ze verfollegen an ze verifizéieren a wéi mir aktiv probéieren et op engem Niveau ze adresséieren deen nach ni erreecht gouf."

Meanwhile, KenGen, a Kenya-based energy company, recently invited Bitcoin (BTC) miners to run their operations using its renewable power capacity.

As Cointelegraph reported, KenGen generates 86% of its energy through renewable geothermal sources. Local reports suggest that KenGen plans to rent out space from its Olkaria facility, situated at a volcanic site.

The acting director of geothermal development at KenGen, Peketsa Mwangi, confirmed the company’s intent to host Bitcoin miners in Kenya:

“We’ll have them here because we have the space and the power is near, which helps with stability.”
