- BCarbon is moving its carbon registration to Hedera, moving more than 2 million carbon credits issued to the network.
- The migration adds on-chain serial tracking, audit trails and workflow automation under Hedera Guardian.
BCarbon has announced the migration of its Web3 native carbon registry to Hedera, transferring more than 2 million carbon credits issued to the network. The credits cover methane reduction projects and are part of a broader strategy to manage carbon assets through distributed ledger infrastructure.
BCarbon is a nonprofit registration and climate research center born out of Rice University’s Baker Institute for Public Policy.
The transition places the organization’s existing tokenized credits on the Hedera network to support traceability of serialized assets and digital audit trails. Therefore, this step will strengthen verification processes throughout the life cycle of carbon projects. The BCarbon registry has been running on blockchain since its inception, using Polygon in the past before selecting Hedera for the next phase.

BCarbon has tokenized credits in several project categories. These include the elimination of methane emissions through plugging of sinks, soil carbon sequestration, forestry initiatives and blue carbon projects linked to coastal ecosystems. The registry reports that more than 2 million carbon credits have been issued to date, each represented as a digital asset.
Hedera recently introduced x402, a payments standard designed to support small programmatic payments for the emerging agentic AI economy. CNF noted that x402 builds on existing Internet standards, such as HTTP 402, and enables microtransactions over the network using $HBAR or other crypto assets.
Digital infrastructure and Hedera Guardian integration
The migration introduces Hedera’s open standards framework for registry operations. BCarbon noted that the network architecture enables predictable pricing, scalability to meet performance and verifiable data.
Furthermore, the company assured users that it will integrate Hedera Guardian for digital environmental procedures and processes.
Guardian integration automates the participation requirements, monitoring processes, and validation processes for various carbon protocols. This automation will apply to future projects involving soil, forestry, methane and blue carbon methodologies. The registry also aims to align with standards-based infrastructure initiatives, including the DPG National Carbon Registry, initiated by the United Nations Development Program in the field of Hedera.
The project has received support from the Hedera Foundation. Hashgraph’s sustainability leadership stated that digital audit trails are essential for maintaining data integrity in carbon markets.
CEO of BCarbon, Eric Unverzagt, added:
By working with Hedera, BCarbon can combine rigorous science with advanced digital infrastructure, deliver fully auditable carbon credits and set a high standard for transparency and efficiency in global carbon markets.
The registry confirmed that all migrated credits will remain traceable and auditable in the chain. Future development plans include expanding interoperability with ecosystem partners and standards-aligned initiatives.
In recent crypto news, Hedera ranked first on Santiment’s RWA-focused development activities list, ahead of Chainlink and Avalanche. Like us reportedthe network achieved the highest score with 278.17 points, based on GitHub and developer contribution metrics
