From Pollution to Possibility: The Future of Sustainability
What is PollutePay DAO?
PollutePay DAO is the first decentralized platform to integrate regulated Emission Trading Systems (ETS) with blockchain technology, enabling seamless trading, real-time tracking, and full regulatory compliance. Built on the Polluter Pays Principle, PollutePay DAO empowers corporations, investors, and regulators by enhancing access, interoperability, privacy, and oversight within regulated carbon compliance markets.
PollutePay DAO aims to become the first comprehensive platform that integrates all World Bank-recognized ETS, creating a unified gateway for global emissions trading while ensuring compliance with jurisdictional requirements.
Market Context
The regulated carbon market reached $948.75 billion in 2023, making it the dominant force in global emissions trading. In contrast, the voluntary carbon market—which is often speculative and lacks enforcement—contracted to just $723 million in the same year.
- Regulated markets are legally enforced and directly reduce emissions, whereas voluntary offsets often lack accountability and measurable impact.
- Despite its massive scale, the regulated carbon market remains largely inaccessible to investors and smaller corporate participants.
- PollutePay DAO changes this by bringing regulated pollution allowances on-chain, increasing efficiency, transparency, and accessibility.
- By integrating all World Bank-recognized ETS, PollutePay DAO provides a single point of entry for emissions trading across multiple jurisdictions.
