Dovu provides the technical infrastructure for the audit trail of standards and methodologies. In principle, it is agnostic to any methodology and standard. The DOVU application is built on Hedera and leverages the Guardian, a solution that multiple organizations can connect to and use tools like satellites, AI, and heatmaps to receive accurate, traceable, and trusted data for the Measurement, reporting, and Verification (MRV) process.

Each onboarded project will choose its methodology suitable for the project type, facilitating community responses to methodologies, and adding rating systems such as BeZero to all projects. Additionally, as an MRV registry aggregator, DOVU will publish data across project types enabling better price transparency and the actual history of methodologies versus the forecast. This process will also enable expansion into new methodologies while ensuring the quality assurance of those qualities.

Building on the Guardian ensures that the measurement reporting and verification process is fully verifiable. Once validated and verified, the project removes carbon, and then creates assets ready for buyers to purchase fully auditable credits. Dovu is the facilitator that allows project developers to use any methodology to verify and validate their carbon credits. We ensure that this methodology is publicly available on-chain in the ledger, allowing buyers to make informed decisions on each tonne of carbon they purchase.

As an outcome, DOVU has helped an orchard in France offset the carbon emissions of their spirit called Avalon and helped them sell it as a net-zero spirit. The stress testing they’ve done with Hedera to get the platform live has exceeded expectations.

Building on the Hedera-based Guardian provides DOVU with a solution that does not emit an excess of carbon. Hedera is a solution genuinely aligned with our sustainable impact mission.
