The Emerging Household Energy uses decentralized Measurement, Reporting, and Verification (dMRV) to track SDG indicators through:

  • Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) for entities
  • Verifiable claims and credentials
  • Oracle-based validation
  • Ex-post and ex-ante data collection

Core Components

Entity DIDs

Each participant (household, business, project) has a unique DID that links to their claims and credentials.

Claims & Credentials

  • Claims: Data records about an entity (e.g., fuel purchases, survey responses)
  • Credentials: Verified claims that are cryptographically signed and stored on the ledger

Oracles

Validation agents that verify claims using:

  • External APIs
  • Sensor data
  • Survey forms
  • Partner databases

Data Collection Methods

  • Ex-Ante: Baseline data collected before intervention
  • Ex-Post: Follow-up data collected at defined intervals

SDG Implementation Guide

SDG 1: No Poverty

Indicator: Annual household fuel cost savings

Requires tracking baseline vs. current fuel expenditure through validated purchase claims

Data Flow:

  1. Register household DID
  2. Record fuel purchase claims
  3. Oracle validates payments
  4. Issue savings credentials

SDG 7: Clean Energy Access

Indicator: Modern cooking device adoption rate

Data Flow:

  1. Log fuel purchase claims
  2. Calculate usage thresholds
  3. Validate through oracles
  4. Generate adoption credentials

SDG 13: Climate Action

Indicator: GHG emission reductions

Data Flow:

  1. Collect device usage data
  2. Validate emission calculations
  3. Issue ITMO credentials
  4. Maintain audit trail

Security

The platform ensures data integrity through:

  • Cryptographic signatures on all claims
  • Immutable ledger records
  • Role-based access control
  • Privacy-preserving data handling
