- Under Project Alvarium, Dell and IOTA will work on increasing transparency and real-time tracking of carbon footprint.
- It will log all the data on the IOTA Tangle while ensuring data integrity and preventing tampering.
Big-tech organizations across the world are working seriously on solving the issues relating to the carbon footprint. Tech giant Dell Technologies has partnered with IOTA in order to build real-time carbon footprint tracking via a data confidence fabric.
Dubbed Project Alvarium, it is an open-source project that focuses on enabling trust and data for applications, industries, and businesses. Project Alvarium can serve multiple industries and sectors. It will also create tools for monitoring and verification of critical information. The goal is effective monetization and sharing of data while maintaining high transparency in order to address the global issues of climate change.
The time is here! 🎉
In our top post of the year for #edge in 2022, we partnered w/ @Iota, BioE, & @ClimateCHECK to develop real-time carbon footprint tracking through a #data confidence fabric!

The climate industry is facing some major challenges around greenwashing including incorrect reporting. With Project Alvarium, Dell and IOTA will present a scalable and open way to collaboratively address climate change while working in coordination with other organizations and regulators. Speaking on the development, Steve Todd, Fellow at Dell Technologies said:
The importance of data transparency is integral to how organizations in every industry move forward. Data confidence is needed to manage data at scale, creating systems of trust in this data so users at all levels understand the terms of use. Project Alvarium will create this transparency, and the more companies that integrate it into their processes and systems, the closer we’ll come to a future without data ambiguity.
Understanding how project Alvarium will work
The goal of Project Alvarium is to deliver real-time insights into the carbon footprints contributed by different players. Back in 2019, Dell Technologies introduced its first Data Confidence Fabric.
The tech firm later re-engineered this tech using the IOTA Streams framework while providing additional scalability and security. This guarantees data trust which is quite essential to several organizations today.
This system will log different steps in the journey of each data point as it travels from an IoT device sensor to a router, further to an edge server, and later to the cloud. As per the industry-specific requirements, each interaction will get a trust rating score. In order to ensure data integrity and prevent tampering, all the scores will be logged on the IOTA Tangle.
This framework will support the initial integration into hardware and software and will align with industries that require a high level of compliance or supervision. Dominik Schiener, Co-Founder of the IOTA Foundation said:
We’re coming to a convergence in technologies and a growth in data utilization, but for that to succeed at scale, we need to be able to trust the data that we’re using.
Project Alvarium will also help in lowering the barrier on Carbon credit issuance as well as investments in sustainable technologies.
