- Blockchain for Energy (B4E) joined the Hedera Council to support improved sustainability and emissions reporting in the energy sector.
- B4E uses Hedera technology in its emissions management platform, B4ECarbon, offering secure and auditable emissions data tracking.
- B4E aims to set industry standards for data transparency, accuracy, and accountability in carbon reporting.
- As a new Council member, B4E will operate a network node and share decision-making with other global organizations in Hedera governance.
- The partnership combines blockchain, Artificial Intelligence, and Internet of Things (IoT) technology to support accurate carbon tracking and reporting.
On June 24, 2025, Blockchain for Energy (B4E), a non-profit consortium made up of international energy companies, joined the Hedera Council to help advance sustainability and standardized emissions reporting. The partnership brings together key energy stakeholders in Houston, Texas, seeking to raise the bar for data integrity in environmental accountability.
B4E is using Hedera technology to power its emissions management platform called B4ECarbon. This platform enables secure, transparent, and decentralized tracking of carbon emissions data, helping to reduce the risk of false reporting and environmental fraud. According to B4E, the platform supports live emissions monitoring and creates a safe space for collaboration on blockchain-based environmental solutions.
Rebecca Hofmann, President & CEO of B4E, said, “Joining Hedera Council is a pivotal step in advancing our vision for a high-integrity, trusted emissions reporting ecosystem. Through our B4ECarbon platform — a secure, auditable, and decentralized dMRV solution — we are setting a new benchmark for sustainability data across the energy value chain. Built for Operators. Backed by Data. Validated by Results. Together with Hedera, we are committed to raising industry standards, eliminating greenwashing risks, and delivering trusted sustainability outcomes that our stakeholders and communities can rely on.” The Hedera Council is a governing organization of up to 39 major companies and institutions worldwide, overseeing the security and direction of the Hedera network.
Simon Olson, Chairman of the Membership Committee for the Hedera Council, noted, “One of the barriers to widespread enterprise adoption of blockchain technology is the lack of standardization. By forming a consortium to promulgate uniform standards, Blockchain for Energy can help overcome persistent problems that have long plagued the energy industry such as how to track seismic data.”
The partnership leverages distributed Ledger technology with AI and IoT systems. This integration seeks to create trusted methods for tracking emissions, which can help companies meet environmental standards and demonstrate verified carbon reporting.
The Blockchain for Energy consortium includes industry leaders like Chevron, ConocoPhillips, ExxonMobil, Repsol, and others. Members also participate in global initiatives to promote interoperable digital standards in energy.
The Hedera Council, comprised of Fortune 500 companies, banks, innovators, and universities, governs Hedera’s public blockchain network. Each member runs a network node and has equal voting rights, ensuring decentralized oversight over software updates and maintaining network quality.
