Tiffany Potter is a "Carbon Therapist" and the Chief Carbon Officer of Bitgreen, operating as a purpose-built blockchain for bringing uninhibited capital to impact investing markets. Bitgreen's Carbon Marketplace program, managed by Potter, aims to put carbon credits on-chain with key carbon registries like Gold Standard. In this conversation, Potter explains how carbon credits work, the criteria used to assess them, and how useful they can be as we make the transition into a more green economy. Her work includes reviewing companies and projects (even before they've launched) to determine pathways and edits to open doors to carbon credits. Combine her expertise with Bitgreen's carbon credit commerce platform, and you have an easier map for taking advantage of this opportunity while doing some real good for the planet.
