The EOS Network Foundation (ENF) has forged a groundbreaking partnership with Upland and Aerial, propelling EOS into the realm of "climate-positive" blockchain networks and marking a significant milestone in the blockchain industry.

While EOS was previously known for being a carbon-neutral blockchain, this collaboration with Upland, a Web3 platform for the metaverse, and sustainability platform Aerial has elevated it to the status of being "climate positive."

This achievement is particularly noteworthy in the context of the increasing global focus on green energy and environmental sustainability, even within the blockchain sector, where discussions about the environmental impact of proof-of-work blockchains like Bitcoin have been prominent.

EOS, which operates on a proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus mechanism, has now gone beyond mere carbon neutrality. Being "climate positive" implies that the EOS Network actively contributes to broader climate efforts by removing excess carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere, going above and beyond the goal of achieving net-zero carbon emissions.

To attain this status, EOS ensures that all carbon dioxide generated within its network is offset through the use of carbon credits. This ambitious step signifies EOS's commitment to environmental responsibility.

In addition to mitigating its carbon footprint, the ENF and its partners are dedicated to offsetting emissions through sustainable projects. These initiatives may include afforestation and other environmentally friendly practices aimed at promoting a healthier planet.

The collaboration between EOS, Upland, and Aerial not only demonstrates the blockchain industry's commitment to sustainability but also sets a precedent for other blockchain networks to follow suit. As the world continues to prioritize eco-conscious solutions, EOS's transition to being "climate positive" exemplifies the potential for blockchain technology to contribute positively to the global effort to combat climate change.
