Decision-grade data on nature
Nature tech is emergent, but with it, improvements and impairments to nature can be measured with an integrity that can be trusted. Local communities of people, many of them resource-constrained, can steward nature together with inexpensive nature tech. With it, they have the capability to (digitally) measure, report and verify (dMRV) how they are preserving,…

Reality DLT: 2019
I review 2019 – a year in which Distributed Ledger Technologies (DLT) proved they could enable real and measurable citizen and business value. The Oil and Gas sector (O&G) ranks last of all industries in digital maturity (Deloitte’s study also noted that the industry loses $1.6 trillion in revenue by “failing to fully embrace digital”). However, a study conducted by the World Economic Forum concluded “digital transformation” in O&G had a total…
Massive Transformational Purpose?
Dr Hannah Rudman considers why championing distributed ledger technologies (DLT) in manufacturing and resources and public sectors is also a Massive Transformational Purpose (MTP). When I was at secondary school in 1989, Sir Tim Berners Lee wrote his paper proposing a World Wide Web of connected computers, which would allow digital exchange of information. I…
A year in DLT
2018: a year in which Distributed Ledger Technology has moved into the mainstream, with public sector projects building trust and transparency into citizen services, and private sector projects reducing timescales for tracking and tracing products from a week to just 2.2 seconds. 2018 was a year of maturation for distributed ledger technologies (DLT) with ever…

The Touring Network builds digital tools to measure CO2 of rural touring
The Touring Network works to support, represent and develop professional live performances happening in small-scale venues across the Highlands & Islands. Across such a vast geographic area, from Shetland to Argyll and Perthshire to Skye, the carbon costs of touring to remote and varied locations can be significant – not only are distances great but transport and buildings infrastructure is also often limited. In order to…
