Meeting Elon Musk’s Challenge to «Hodl The Rainforest»

NEW YORK, Feb. 18, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — In a recent Tweet, the world’s richest man, Elon Musk, challenged us all to «hodl the rainforest.» In crypto parlance the implication is that we all need to protect the rainforests that remain to us and future generations. The Universal Protocol Alliance (UPA), a coalition of leading blockchain companies including Bittrex Global, CertiK, Fifth Era, Hard Yaka, Ledger, Trovio, SFOX and Uphold, have responded, and today are excited to announce that «hodling the rainforest» is now possible through a unique technological breakthrough: tokenized and transparently substantiated certified voluntary carbon credits. It turns out that crypto can save the rainforest.

Today, Universal Carbon (UPCO2) the world’s first tradable REDD+ carbon credit token becomes the first environmental crypto commodity to be listed on Bittrex Global – the leading Liechtenstein-based digital asset trading platform.

«We are excited to be providing every Bittrex Global user with access to UPCO2,» said Tom Albright, CEO, Bittrex Global. «With this important new listing, we’re enabling institutional and retail investors to both invest in the appreciation of carbon credits and offset carbon footprints while helping to save the world’s rainforests.«

Launched December 1st 2020, each UPCO2 Token represents one tonne of CO2 pollution averted by a certified REDD+ project preventing rainforest loss or degradation. Every token is backed by a digital certificate issued by Verra and other international standards agencies, which allows certified projects to turn their greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions into tradable carbon credits.

In the lead-up to the creation of UPCO2 and BTC0 (an ERC-20 wrapped carbon neutral bitcoin), the UP Alliance consulted many of the world’s leading carbon experts, ultimately forming the UP Carbon Foundation. The UP Carbon Foundation’s role will be to ensure that the carbon credits underlying UPCO2 are diverse, of unimpeachable quality, and, where possible through block issuance, the money paid for fully performed credits can immediately flow into the expansion of protected acreage.

UPA Chairman, Matthew Le Merle said: «We believe Universal Carbon is the best way to achieve the mission of protecting the world’s remaining rainforests and are excited that Bittrex Global agrees. We plan to jointly submit our technological breakthrough for one of the X Prize Foundation awards that Elon Musk is sponsoring.«

«UPA is proud to have made Elon’s vision a reality. Hodling the rainforests is a critical and tremendous start, as they are the lungs of the world and under siege… but with the advent of digital carbon credits, an entire world of possibilities open up, creating an efficient conduit for market forces to deliver outsize results precisely where they’re most needed.» concluded Le Merle.

Dallas TX, Suffolk County NY, and Virginia Beach VA use Salesforce for their COVID-19 Economic Assistance and Recovery

WASHINGTON, Feb. 18, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — 2020 was a challenging year to which several local government agencies rose to the occasion to ensure their citizens were being served. Counties are working tirelessly to improve resident – government interactions across every channel and Cities are serving residents while empowering employees to excel at their jobs. Both are enabling cross-agency collaboration and empowering a remote workforce to provide faster, easier, smarter government services.

…

Suffolk County New York, City of Virginia Beach Virginia, and City of Dallas Texas were among the list of local governments who drove and continue to drive their digital initiatives forward. Suffolk County NY launched their 311 call center taking a phased approach, enabling their platform to also be utilized when the County was hit by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Suffolk 311 system became the way the County managed their response with citizens and businesses. The County also launched their citizen facing self service web portal as another channel for citizens and businesses for COVID-19 response. Suffolk is re-opening and expanding departments using 311 to include Human Services.

Suffolk has 63 active Service Request types configured in the 311 Capsule including service request types for Covid-19. The county is required to provide shared services for other jurisdictions within the County. Users can be alerted to which jurisdiction owns that specific issue at that location. The multi-jurisdictional functionality allows for more flexibility and configurability of the distribution of tickets could be adjusted as things evolve. Multi-jurisdictional functionality also provides the ability to track constituent issues to meet needs and security options to limit views of information as required by the county.

Dallas, Texas ranked in the top 10 most populous cities in the United States, needed to rapidly implement enterprise level, scalable, Low Code/No Code platform-based solutions to provide uncompromised customer service to the Public and a safe environment for their employees. The City of Dallas successfully launched three critical applications to aid with tackling and providing the technology support needed for city employees to serve their constituents during COVID-19. Success for The City of Dallas means, city wide proactive reporting, public appointment scheduling with city departments online, and increasingly digitized forms and applications. City of Dallas departments currently leveraging these solutions include 311, Community Care, and Code Compliance. These apps play a crucial role in supporting the city as they continue to serve their constituents during these challenging times.

Virginia Beach, one of the nation’s top award winning digital cities, placed third in the Annual Digital Government survey in 2020. When the City sought an off-the-shelf, configurable software-as-a-service system to aid in COVID-19 relief, they turned to the recently purchased 311 Capsule CRM solution and repurposed that traditional 311 solution project to meet their urgent pandemic response needs. Launched on time and on budget by Incapsulate, the City has remotely deployed this project in multiple phases, prioritizing COVID-19 response. The first phase focused on short-term rentals and COVID-19 donations and disaster relief. Virginia Beach equipped their Emergency Communications and Citizen Services operations with the ability to review and accept community-based donations of personal protective equipment (PPE) and supplies.

In the second phase, the City implemented COVID-19 a suite of Financial Relief Applications (Public Utilities Payment Assistance) and the Board of Commissioner Online Appointment Scheduler. Virginia Beach is leveraging the Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system for two COVID-19 relief fund programs: City Services Bill Pandemic Relief, VA State CARES relief and Emergency Debt Repayment Plan. Citizens who lost their jobs or income due to COVID-19 may use the online portal to submit and track their applications for assistance. Departments are empowered to collaborate on application review, validation and approval. The reporting process is streamlined by collecting and processing applicant progress reports digitally. Virginia Beach also implemented Incapsulate’s Remote Appointment Scheduling Application, which helps digitize the delivery of mission-critical services provided by the City’s Commissioner of the Revenue.

The latest phase includes the City’s COVID-19 Vaccine Management System. The City of Virginia Beach stands ready to support the Virginia Department of Health’s vaccination program, as the system integrates with the State of Virginia’s Vaccine systems. Residents are able to pre-register online and input their information to generate a request for the vaccine that is then sent to the state health department. Online notifications are then sent to residents to schedule an appointment. The city also provides relevant information on the availability of the vaccine, who is eligible and where they can go to get vaccinated.

In 2021 local government agencies continue to rise to the occasion to ensure their citizens are being served. As we have seen with Suffolk, Dallas and Virginia Beach; cities and counties are working tirelessly to improve resident – government interactions across every channel. They continue to enable cross-agency collaboration and empower a remote workforce to provide faster, easier, smarter government services.

CO(2) Utilization Will Be a $550 Billion Market by 2040

BOSTON, Feb. 18, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The global market size for CO₂ utilization will reach a market value of $70 billion by 2030, increasing to $550 billion by 2040. In its newest report, «CO₂ Capture & Utilization: The Emergence of a Carbon Economy,» Lux Research, a global provider of tech-enabled research and advisory services, forecasts the adoption of CO₂ utilization in the buildings, chemicals, materials, fuels, and food sectors.

Despite unprecedented action against climate change over the past decade, global emissions witnessed steady growth and only fell in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic. All projections have emissions returning to their upward trajectory unless drastic measures are taken across the entire energy system. While CO₂ is a significant contributor to climate change, interest in a potential carbon economy is growing from governments, industry, and the investment community. Carbon capture and utilization remains a crucial technology to not only remove but even recycle CO₂ from the atmosphere.

CO₂ can convert into six types of products: building materials, chemicals, carbon additives, fuels, polymers, and proteins. «The projected growth will be driven by the building materials sector. For example, CO₂ can be used to produce aggregates to mix with cement or injected directly into wet concrete for curing,» explains Runeel Daliah, Analyst at Lux Research and the lead author of the report. «Building materials will become the largest sector for CO₂ utilization, capturing 86% of the total market value by 2040. Technologies for CO₂ utilization in the building industry have low technical barriers – adoption will only be impeded by regulatory constraints.»

«Fuels, chemicals, and carbon additives provide vast potential for CO₂ utilization, but it will not be reached without extensive innovation or regulatory support for widespread adoption,» adds Daliah. «The polymers and protein sectors will remain niche applications of CO₂ utilization despite the expected success of the technology in these sectors. Successful deployment for polymers remains small, while CO₂ utilization for proteins is still in the development stage, with adoption driven by the rising demand for alternative proteins.»

Lux’s new report shows the vast promise CO₂ capture and utilization holds for recycling CO₂ emissions into valuable products. For more information on this research, download the report Executive Summary.
