# Blockchain Technologies

Blockchain is a powerful tool that can significantly improve the visibility, responsiveness and tracking of greenhouse gas emissions. It helps companies to provide more accurate, reliable, limited, and readily available information about carbon emissions. Blockchain can be used with smart contracts to better calculate, track and report carbon footprint reductions throughout the value chain. It can provide instant authentication, verification of real-time data and clear data records.
