The Cardano Foundation’s case study describes a collaboration involving Petrobras, PUC-Rio University’s Ledger Labs and the Foundation. Called CS-SAF, the platform represents fuel sustainability attributes as digital tokens with metadata aligned with the aviation emissions framework CORSIA.
Key Takeaways
- Petrobras developed the platform through a research collaboration.
- Fuel attributes can be allocated separately from supply.
- Certification remains essential to validating environmental claims.
