Abstract

This paper elicits and models the requirements of a decentralized carbon emissions trading platform (CarboCoin). CarboCoin platform is based on the Bit coin, a peer-to-peer digital currency with no central authority. CarboCoin is focused on providing high privacy protection for participants in order to encourage more engagement in carbon emissions reduction process. CarboCoin requirements are elicited and specified based on the Bit coin design principles, algorithms, and platform specifications. CarboCoin platform should facilitate high-privacy carbon emissions trading, and increase private individuals engagement in the trading process.
