Carbon Accounting Methodology

The scientific methodology behind the CCRI API's carbon accounting metrics — models of electricity consumption and GHG emissions per network, the reference hardware used in those models, and how the resulting totals are allocated to individual holdings and transactions.

• Networks — how we derive electricity consumption and GHG emissions per consensus mechanism and network type.
• Representative Hardware Set — the reference hardware used in the measurements and estimates above.
• Allocations — how a network's total electricity consumption and GHG emissions are distributed between holdings and transactions.
