Karl Seidenfad, Maximilian Greiner, Jan Biermann, Ulrike Lechner · 2024
Designing and integration of cooperative Information Systems is crucial in one of the significant endeavors of this time: decarbonization. This article addresses the integration of resilient infrastructure and secure instruments for monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV) of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and lights on a scenario in the artisan coffee industry. We present a ongoing field study with three industry partners, and the goal is to design a effort sharing consortium, which employs a blockchain-based edge infrastructure to securely connect organizations and their production machinery to enable cooperative automation of MRV for GHG emissions.
