We are the administrators of METI™, a public clearinghouse for environmental projects, registries, and market-based instruments - a service built in collaboration with major industry stakeholders.
MillPont Environmental Trust Infrastructure (METI™) is a public clearinghouse for environmental assets (carbon, water, biodiversity, etc.). Built on the global Domain Naming System (DNS), METI™ stores only the metadata required to establish uniqueness and provenance, allowing private registries to mitigate double counting risk and providing buyers with a single point of reference to validate claims. Our technology applies the latest advances in encryption to protect Personal Identifiable Information (PII) such that the data METI does store (location, time ranges), are obscured such that neither MillPont nor the public may ascertain their true values. This approach permits certain computations such as location conflict and time range overlap to be computed without ever revealing the protected data.
Fundamentally METI deals with two objects: sources and certificates - both of which are stored and visible on public DNS.
As open infrastructure, the entire METI™ directory is visible to the public. However, privileged functionality allowing for the creation and modification of records is reserved for participants enrolled in one of the two programs listed below:
