Digital MRV

​

Overview

The Emerging Household Energy implements IXO dMRV protocols for managing clean cooking data and generating Internationally Transferred Mitigation Outcomes (ITMOs). The system provides:

• Household-Level Reporting - Consolidated data across multiple devices and fuel sources
• Usage Monitoring - Tracking of multiple devices and fuels to prevent double-counting
• Connected Data Graph - Linked entities and claims for system-wide insights
• Immutable Records - Blockchain-backed registry for full traceability

Core Concepts

​

Digital Entities

Digital Entities are online representations of real-world objects or concepts in the IXO Spatial Web, including:

• Physical entities (stoves, energy devices)
• Cognitive entities (organizations, projects, assets)

Each entity has a W3C DID (Decentralized Identifier) that provides:

• Unique identification
• Cryptographic verification
• Self-sovereign control

​

Entity Relationships

Entities form nodes in a data graph connected by relationships that show:

• Project implementation by organizations
• Project funding sources
• Asset generation
• Claim verification by Oracles
• Credential issuance
• Impact credit tokenization

​

Domain Registration

Entities register on the blockchain as domains with:

• DID for verifiable ownership
• Domain controllers (authorized updaters)
• Connected services
• Linked resources and claims
• Object capabilities (zCAPs, Cacao)
• Economic accounts
• NFT representation

​

Protocols

Protocols provide templates for domain configuration including:

• Default data fields
• Standard relationships
• Required services
• Governance settings

Emission Reduction Quantification

The accurate quantification of emission reductions in clean cooking initiatives depends on three critical factors:

1. Household Fuel Consumption: Precise measurement of fuel usage patterns and quantities
2. Usage Rate: Actual utilization rates of clean cooking devices
3. Installation Base: Accurate tracking of number and type of stoves installed

​

Real-Time Field Data

Emission reductions must be verifiable and quantifiable to be recognized under international standards. The dMRV system ensures this through:

• Continuous Data Collection: Real-time field data provides the foundation for credible quantification
• Immediate Verification: Automated validation of incoming data streams
• Temporal Accuracy: No retroactive data collection or post-hoc estimations
• Field-to-Registry Pipeline: Direct flow from measurement to verification to registration

​

Monitoring Requirements

To ensure reliable quantification, the dMRV system implements:

• Comprehensive Monitoring Plans: Structured data collection across all key metrics
• Statistical Rigor: Sample design and size calculations that meet methodology requirements
• Data Quality Controls: Validation of fuel consumption and usage measurements
• Installation Tracking: Verified device registration and deployment records

These elements are essential for:

• Accurate emission reduction calculations
• Reliable baseline establishment
• Verifiable impact claims
• Methodology compliance
