### **Detailed: configuring manual information requirements (admin)** Please contact our team to help configure manual information. User customisation of this information is coming in a future release. {% hint style="success" %} :tada: **Congratulations! Your digital twin is now ready to tokenise carbon assets!**\ Your next step will be to setup the tokenisation business rules and create your first testnet tokens. {% endhint %} # Getting ready for tokenisation {% hint style="info" %} 🚧 Our tokenisation feature is still under development and testing 🚧 {% endhint %} Here is a sneak peak! Tokenisation in Carbon Central is flexible and dynamic. We allow easy customisation to suit your specific needs. We support two main approaches to tokenisation (linked to your digital twin configuration): 1. **Manual Tokenisation**: This is used for standards/methodologies that require grouped or batch information such as a vintage year or production month. The batch finalisation block serves as the last step before tokenisation. It enables users to merge all data and information from their digital twin using a set of rules. Batch finalisation is utilised as the manual final approval prior to token minting and aggregates all data that has been stored on-chain using the digital twin into your tokens. 2. **Real-time Tokenisation**: Automatic tokenisation based on a set of business rules. For example, you can set a rule to "mint 1 guarantee of origin token for every kg of Hydrogen produced" based on meter data. Once set up, Carbon Central will continuously generate tokens using these business rules from digital twin data. In most cases, automated tokenisation will still require batch information (such as sources of electricity, co products, etc). A batch finalisation block can be used to include additional information to tokens that were minted in real-time by linking up additional data.

[View our Mass Balance use case here](/knowledge-base/demos/guarantee-of-origin/iscc-mass-balance). # Green Hydrogen Green Hydrogen Production Facility This use case demonstrates a Green Hydrogen Production Facility that features a 10MW electrolysis system with a target output of 4 tonnes of hydrogen per day. The facility is equipped with essential supporting systems such as water treatment, hydrogen purification, and hydrogen compression. A 15MW solar array powers the site, supplemented by grid energy to ensure 24/7 production capability. ### Project Setup The project onboarding process in Carbon Central begins with entering key information, including the location, expected lifetime value, and objectives. This foundational data helps establish the parameters necessary for project monitoring and generates background information for use in certificates. ### Digital Twin Carbon Central provides a comprehensive library of digital twin templates, designed by environmental specialists. These templates encompass device data sources, manual reporting, and documentation needed to generate tokens according to Standard and Methodology guidelines. Users can customise the digital twin configuration via Carbon Central's Admin section to suit their project needs, ensuring adaptability and precision in the monitoring process.

For this use case, digital twin blocks are configured to track key information related to the Product Profile and production devices. These blocks are essential for managing data about the hydrogen production process, providing real-time insights and metrics. #### Configuring Devices In Carbon Central, blocks are flexible components that allow data to be fed into the platform. Data can be sourced from a meter or simulated, enabling users to map key fields, such as water input and electricity usage. Each block is customisable, allowing users to define field names, icons, and units of measure.

Once the data is captured, users can specify calculations to assess carbon emissions and other critical metrics across the digital twin. Calculations are essential to understanding the environmental impact of the production process, helping monitor performance over time.

#### Uploading Documents and Evidence Users can also upload manual data into the digital twin to support the tokenisation process. By selecting 'Upload' within a manual block, users can input the necessary data and upload supporting documents. These fields are determined by the project's specific standard and methodology. This ensures that documentation and information are aligned with token generation requirements, streamlining the process.

### Batch Management Managing production data on a per-batch basis is a vital component of production processes. Carbon Central's Batch Management feature provides a flexible approach to handling batches of any date range. This flexibility allows users to manage, track, and finalise batch data with ease.

#### Tagging Additional Information to a Batch Once a tracking token has been created, users can add additional information to a batch, such as transport and storage details, to gain a full picture of emissions. This allows Carbon Central to adapt to dynamic production needs. Even after tokens are minted, batches can still be updated with new data, providing a complete and up-to-date emissions profile.

### **Trust Chain** After configuration, Carbon Central automatically generates tokens for each unit of product tracked, carbon emissions, or other metric tracked. All tokens can be viewed on the Trust Chain, which serves as a chronological audit trail of all project data, from onboarding to digital twin updates. The Trust Chain also enables independent review and verification of token origins, with all data sourced from blockchain-based records, including manual data and automated meter readings.

For this hydrogen production, real-time tokenisation is enabled by Carbon Central, following predefined business rules. For example, users can configure rules such as "mint 1 guarantee of origin token for every kilogram of hydrogen produced," based on meter data. The platform continuously generates tokens from digital twin data, incorporating information like sources of electricity and co-products. A batch finalisation block can link additional data to tokens minted in real-time, ensuring a complete and accurate representation of the batch. #### **Exporting Guarantee of Origin Certificate** Once a batch is complete and all emissions data has been captured, users can export reports directly from Carbon Central’s on-chain data. These reports are customisable and can be shared with purchasers as a Guarantee of Origin or Sustainability Declaration Certificate, ensuring transparency and traceability across the production process.

# ISCC Mass Balance This use case demonstrates the use of Carbon Central to track and manage the creation of Biodiesel from Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO). This example aligns with the ISCC Plus System to create a guarantee of origin token containing all information for a Sustainability Declaration Certificate. Through a seamless integration of manual documents, integration with external systems, and calculations, Carbon Central streamlines the process of tracking and managing this process while ensuring accuracy and compliance with ISCC Standard. ### Project Setup Project information such as the location, expected lifetime value and objective are entered as part of the project onboarding into Carbon Central. This information allows users to establish the parameters of the project, used as background information in certificates

### Digital Twin Leveraging Carbon Central's library of digital twin templates crafted by our environmental specialists, users can kickstart their baseline digital twin. These templates typically encompass all necessary device data sources, as well as manual reporting and documentation elements essential for generating evidence tokens according to the Standard and Methodology guidelines. Furthermore, within Carbon Central's Admin section, users have the flexibility to customise their digital twins to suit their specific project requirements, ensuring adaptability and precision in monitoring and reporting processes.

In this example, two blocks of information are used to track information relating to the Product Profile, and the Fuel Supplier. Both are key to track and manage information about the production process. These blocks encompass the necessary data and documentation prescribed by the ISCC Plus method. ### Uploading Documents and Evidence When a user selects 'Upload' on one of these blocks, they are presented with the option to upload evidence and input the necessary data required for token minting. This streamlined process ensures that users can easily provide the documentation and information needed to generate tokens accurately and efficiently.

Production Profile information is set once, and then applies to all future data collected by this digital twin

### Using Smart Fill In some cases, information comes from suppliers in an email, pdf, or other document type. Using Carbon Central AI, we can identify, and match required data on behalf of the user. This is particularly useful for repeated processes, such as entering fuel supplier information from a sustainability declaration certificate. ### Configuring Batches A crucial component of ISCC is managing data on a per-batch basis. To support this, the Batch Management feature in Carbon Central can be used. Its flexible approach to batches means users can manage batches of any date range.

### Attaching Batch Information When a batch is finalised, key steps such as the transport to storage, and storage facility must be captured to ensure a complete view of carbon emissions can be captured. Using the batch blocks in Carbon Central, customers can enter key batch information using integrations with data sources, or manually. Integration to third party information can be achieved on for each filed required. Calculated fields can also be used to automatically fill information from other sources (these are coded as green text in Carbon Central). Calculations, such as calculating the distance, can be achieved by using other fields in the form.

### Tagging Additional Information to Token Upon completion of a batch, tokens have already been minted, and can be viewed within the Trust Chain. Each source of data is visible on the Trust Chain including the project background, information on the digital twin such as fuel suppliers, and information in the batches such as transport and storage. While all of this data is stored on the guarantee of origin certificate on blockchain, certain information required by the ISCC Plus method cannot be identified until a sale has been achieved. Using token tagging in Carbon Central gives users a way to attach this key additional information, and update the total emissions tracked for a batch.

### **Exporting Sustainability Declaration Report** Finally, now that complete emissions have been captured for a batch, users can export a set of reports directly from Carbon Central on-chain data. Reports can be customised, and in this case, we are exporting data required by the ISCC Plus Certificate template, which can be send to the purchaser of the product for use as the Sustainability Declaration.

### Uploading Manual Documents and Evidence When a user selects 'Upload' on one of these blocks, they are presented with the option to upload evidence and input the necessary data required for token minting. This streamlined process ensures that users can easily provide the documentation and information needed to generate tokens accurately and efficiently.

### Configuring Automated Devices (admin) A crucial component of many methodologies involves recording and overseeing feedstock measurements obtained from meters. Through Carbon Central, project admins have the capability to seamlessly integrate their meters and utilise a mapping mechanism to align key fields from meter data with the expected fields for carbon credit calculation. Additionally, all digital twin templates come equipped with a simulated meter, furnishing users with sample data for immediate utilisation. Subsequently, users can transition to their production meters as per their convenience and suitability.

# Energy certificates from rooftop solar production The TROEF Dutch energy project leverages Carbon Central to track and verify carbon footprints as part of its mission to develop carbon-neutral cities. By connecting sustainable energy communities through the Internet of Energy, the project facilitates peer-to-peer energy and CO2 certificate trading. Carbon Central’s platform provides real-time monitoring and secure, auditable data storage on its Trust Chain. This use case demonstrates how Carbon Central supports TROEF’s goals of optimising energy use and driving the Netherlands towards a net-zero carbon future. ### Building Project Setup For each building, project details such as location, expected lifetime value, and objectives are entered during onboarding into Carbon Central. This setup allows users to define their project parameters as soon as they join the platform.

### EnergyTag This use case adheres to the EnergyTag standard, generating Granular Certificates from excess rooftop solar production. By integrating grid usage, solar output, and emissions factors, we calculate savings with near real-time Granular Certificates. During the initial setup, each building selects this as a standard template.

### Digital Twin Using the template, new projects can quickly be onboarded to establish a baseline digital twin. The template includes blocks necessary to integrate essential data sources, including grid usage, solar production/consumption, and emissions factors, along with manual reporting elements needed to generate evidence tokens according to the EnergyTag method. Additionally, users can customise their digital twins within Carbon Central's Admin section, ensuring flexibility and accuracy tailored to their specific project needs.

### Configuring Meters (admin) The template comes preset with simulated meters for the required data, which can be replaced by integrating real data sources as projects progress. Project admins can seamlessly connect their meters through Carbon Central and use a mapping mechanism to align key fields from meter data with those needed for carbon credit calculations. This ensures accurate and efficient feedstock measurement and data integration, supporting reliable carbon reporting.

### Uploading Device Configuration Evidence Each meter's production profile must be configured within the digital twin. During the initial setup, users can select 'Upload' on a block to input necessary data, such as calibration certificates and key dates, and upload evidence. This streamlined process ensures that users can efficiently provide the required documentation, enabling accurate and timely token generation.

### Granular Certificates Once configuration is complete, Granular Certificates will be automatically generated for each excess watt-hour (Wh) of energy produced by the integrated solar panels. Tokens can be viewed on the TrustChain, which provides a chronological audit trail of all data entered into Carbon Central.

# Carbon Reporting **Carbon Footprint** Use Carbon Central to track the carbon emissions for a building or campus using Greenhouse Gas Accounting (GHG Protocol). Integrate your meters directly to our platform to view realtime monitoring data. Our flexible digital twin feature adapts to your use case, allowing the calculation of the carbon footprint of any asset, building, or process. [View our GHG Protocol Corporate Standard use case here.](/knowledge-base/demos/carbon-reporting/ghg-protocol-corporate-standard) **Reports** Use Carbon Central to simplify ESG reporting. Our flexible reporting engine can help you to export data from the platform ready for reporting including GRI, TCFD, CSRD, etc. **Certification** Use Carbon Central to verify your emissions for certification. Integrate your data sources to Carbon Central, and export data to support certifications including NABERS, Green Building, etc # GHG Protocol Corporate Standard This use case demonstrates the use of Carbon Central to track and manage the carbon emissions from a corporate entity. In this example, we will look at examples of Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions from NoviqTech - demonstrating how we track our company emissions using the GHG Protocol - Greenhouse Gas Accounting Standard. ### Digital Twin Leveraging Carbon Central's library of digital twin templates crafted by our environmental specialists, users can kickstart their baseline GHG Corporate Standard digital twin. When calculating total emissions using the GHG accounting standard, it is key to understand each source of emissions across all scopes. To achieve this, our digital twins come fitted with emissions calculators which help users to enter the important information to calculate emissions.

Leveraging this template provides examples of all device data sources, as well as manual reporting and documentation elements essential for generating evidence tokens according to the Standard and Methodology guidelines. This demo shows three emissions calculators across each scope, and one area to manage and track any purchased offsets. ### Using the scope emissions calculator When a user selects 'Upload' on one of these blocks, they are presented with the option to upload evidence and input the necessary data required for token minting. This streamlined process ensures that users can easily provide the documentation and information needed to generate tokens accurately and efficiently. **Supported emissions sources** All emissions sources can be accounted for in Carbon Central. We offer native support for common sources, and can easily add support for unique sources on request. Common examples include: * mobile combustion for petrol or diesel company vehicles (scope 1), * purchased energy for head office (scope 2); or * purchased goods and services such as cloud services (scope 3). **Example - Scope 1** Here we can see the details required for an example scope 1 emissions calculation. A user has selected an emissions source and category, and proceeded to enter relevant metrics and emissions factors, along with the total calculated emission. In this scenario, we see that the emissions for a company car using mobile combustion (gasoline/petrol) is being calculated. The user has entered the appropriate unit (L), usage (1000 L), and emissions factor (2.312) used in their calculation. Finally they entered the appropriate emissions for the year for a total of 2313 kg CO2e. This value is now tracked and accounted for in the company's total emissions for the calculated period.

### Offsets After total emissions are calculated, users can enter appropriate sources of purchased offsets. Offsets can be sourced from an appropriate location and entered into Carbon Central to be factored into the total emissions calculation. In this example, we can see that Australian Carbon Credit Units were purchased, offsetting 10 t CO2e (10 credits were applied).

### Total company emissions After entering appropriate sources of scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions for the selected period, along with any purchased offsets, carbon emission tokens are minted aligned with the GHG Corporate Standard. For example, tokens can be minted aligned with the InterWork Alliance (IWA) Carbon Emission Token Protocol.
