Blockchain technology is revolutionizing the way we address climate change, and a recent partnership between a Swiss blockchain company and an Indian climate-tech startup is leading the charge. Fedrok AG, based in Switzerland, has joined forces with TechXEarthSpace Pvt. Ltd., headquartered in Bangalore, to create a groundbreaking carbon credit solution that combines carbon removal, underground storage, and blockchain transparency.
The partnership aims to address the shortcomings of traditional carbon credits by tokenizing CO₂ removal and storage through a blockchain protocol called Proof of Green™. This ensures that every carbon credit represents real decarbonization efforts, backed by verifiable renewable energy sources. The result is a high-integrity digital asset that provides transparency and traceability for buyers, whether they are corporates, ESG funds, or governments.
Fedrok’s blockchain platform, built on a Layer 1 blockchain dedicated to carbon markets, provides a technology stack specifically tailored for climate markets and ESG verification. Their native cryptocurrency, FDK Coin, powers transactions and smart contract logic, linking credit issuance directly to on-chain activity. Additionally, Fedrok is ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified, demonstrating their commitment to operational excellence and environmental responsibility.
TechXEarthSpace brings the scientific expertise to the partnership, utilizing DAC units, AI-managed injection monitoring, and subsurface mapping to ensure permanent carbon storage. The pilot phase of the project is set to begin in southern India, with plans to expand globally to meet the growing demand for reliable carbon credits.
This collaboration addresses key carbon market failures, including lack of permanence and trust, by combining engineering-grade CO₂ removal with verifiable tokenization. As the voluntary carbon market continues to grow, the need for high-quality, transparent solutions becomes increasingly important. This partnership is not just about hype; it’s about building infrastructure that works.
The first pilots are scheduled to launch in late 2025 in India’s southern sedimentary basins, with future plans to scale across Asia and other carbon-intensive regions. Fedrok and TechXEarthSpace view this partnership as a long-term commitment to improving sustainability efforts and supporting Article 6-compliant projects under the Paris Agreement.
In a world where climate change requires urgent action, collaborations like this one demonstrate that progress can be achieved through innovation, collaboration, and a commitment to doing things better. By leveraging data, geology, and cryptographic trust, Fedrok and TechXEarthSpace are leading the way towards a more sustainable future.
