Gnosis Chain has offset 273 tonnes of CO2.

Gnosis Chain is a fast and energy-efficient Ethereum-compatible blockchain. Gnosis Chain is already orders-of-magnitude more energy efficient than Ethereum and other similar proof-of-work chains. Despite this, the Gnosis Chain team has decided to go a step further by offsetting 10 times their organizational and network emissions!

What's Measured?

Offsetra performed a corporate carbon footprinting (CCF) analysis of the Gnosis Chain network and its company operations. This analysis was performed across emissions Scopes 1-3, as defined by the Greenhouse Gas Protocol. These emissions estimates are defined in more detail below.

Scope 1 Emissions

0 Tonnes (0%)

Scope 1 encompasses direct emissions from resources under the organization's control (e.g. combustion of fuels to produce energy).

Scope 2 Emissions

5.08 Tonnes (20%)

Scope 2 emissions are indirect emissions associated with the purchase and consumption of energy.(1) 5.08T CO2e - Electricity consumed by staking nodes.

Scope 3 Emissions

20.26 Tonnes (80%)

Scope 3 encompasses emissions from sources which are not directly controlled by the organization, but are still related to the organization's activities.(1) 4.19T CO2e - Lifecycle of hardware and energy consumption of validator nodes securing the network.(2) 16.07T CO2e - Home-office energy consumption for distributed team of employees.
