The Challenge

Why standard GPS data is rejected

Voluntary Carbon Markets (VCM) demand additionality. You must prove a human physically moved the vehicle to displace a carbon-emitting trip.

Standard GPS Tracking

  • × Zero Physiological Proof: Cannot distinguish between a human pedaling, an e-motor doing all the work, or a bike on a truck.
  • × Data Gaps: Vulnerable to GPS drift, signal loss, and easy spoofing.
  • × Audit Failure: Rejected by Gold Standard and Verra for lack of "Proof of Effort".

Biometric Verification

  • Proof of Effort: SmartGrips measure watts and heart rate to confirm human metabolic work (Joules).
  • Fraud Prevention: Biometric signature prevents "ghost riding" or mechanical spoofing.
  • Methodology Aligned: Designed to satisfy Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) requirements.

The Verification Pipeline

A fully automated audit trail from the handlebar to the carbon registry.

01

Measure Work

Sensors detect pedaling cadence and heart rate variation, confirming Human Power Output instantly.

02

Mint Ledger

Qualified trips are aggregated into tons of CO2e avoided. Data is hashed and stored in our audit-ready ledger.

03

Retire or Sell

Credits can be retired for your own Net Zero goals or sold to corporate buyers via our API.
