Carbon Emissions for Sustainable Soil Health

This article presents an innovative blockchain-based system that integrates carbon emission management with sustainable agricultural practices. The approach focuses on capturing industrial CO₂ emissions, filtering them using amine scrubbers, and storing the purified CO₂ in pressurized tanks. The stored CO₂ is then transported and precisely injected into agricultural soil using a surface infrastructure equipped with pressure control mechanisms, flow meters, and injection nozzles, ensuring no leakage into the atmosphere. The proposed system addresses the limitations of current carbon capture technologies, which often neglect agricultural integration and are cost-prohibitive. By leveraging blockchain, the platform securely validates and matches farmers soil carbon requirements with industrial CO₂ availability. Smart contracts automate the process, enabling transparent transactions between industries and farmers. Farmers receive financial incentives, while industries gain a cost-effective solution for managing emissions, reducing compliance costs, and enhancing their environmental footprint. The paper highlights the significance of this system in advancing sustainable development by offering a dual benefit: improving soil health through carbon sequestration and mitigating greenhouse gas emissions. This novel framework bridges the gap between industrial emission reduction and agricultural sustainability, contributing to global climate goals.
