USE CASE | The Ghana Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to Connect National Carbon Registry to a Blockchain Trading and Settlement Hub
The Ghana Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has signed a deal with ZERO13 to connect its national Ghana Carbon Registry (GCR) to the blockchain-based Global ITMO Trading Hub and Settlement Network in Singapore.
According to the EPA, the deal represents a major step forward under its existing agreement with Singapore on carbon markets by operationalising the digital trading and settlement of Internationally Transferred Mitigation Outcomes (ITMOs) under Article 6.2 of the Paris Agreement.
ZERO13 provides a Platform-as-a-Service which offers a distributed point of entry for digital issuance, trading, and settlement of carbon credits and real-world assets such as ESG securities.
The firm claims to be helping to achieve Net Zero by combining AI and blockchain to restore trust in carbon credit markets, addressing greenwashing, double counting, price transparency, vertical silos, and market fragmentation.
“With the work EPA and other bodies in Ghana have been doing, the country has shown it can be a pioneer in making Article 6.2 related ITMO activity a reality under its implementation agreement with Singapore,” said Dr. John Kingsley Krugu, Executive Director of the Ghana Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
“We are delighted that ZERO13 is working with us to make this operational with its ITMO Trading Hub connecting to Ghana Carbon Registry.”
According to a press release, this engagement ensures that carbon credits are securely issued, tracked, traded and settled, focussing on transparency and efficiency.
The platform will facilitate auctions for Ghanaian carbon credits. The auction mechanism will provide access to global buyers and ensure competitive pricing, maximising the value of Ghana’s carbon credits.
This partnership enables Singaporean companies to access high-quality carbon credits from Ghanaian projects helping to meet their emissions reduction targets while supporting economic and environmental well-being of Ghanaian communities’.
“By leveraging our blockchain enabled digital ITMO Trading Hub and settlement network, we are enabling secure and transparent carbon trading that supports national climate targets and economic growth as well as generating opportunities for local communities,” said Hirander Misra, CEO of ZERO13.
