eMission is a Canadian company that is developing a comprehensive platform for the measurement, reporting, and verification (MRV) of enterprise carbon emissions and removal. Its goal is to provide a fully auditable and transparent system that can help businesses and governments accurately track their carbon footprint and achieve their sustainability goals.
The core of eMission's service is a platform that uses a combination of satellite data, IoT sensors, and advanced analytics to provide a detailed and near real-time view of carbon emissions. This data-driven approach is designed to overcome the limitations of traditional, often manual, methods of carbon accounting. By providing a more accurate and transparent system, eMission aims to build trust in the carbon credit market and facilitate the flow of capital to high-impact environmental projects.
eMission received a grant from the Hedera Foundation to develop a suite of open-source tools and methodologies on Hedera Guardian, a platform for creating and managing digital environmental assets. This integration will allow for the tokenisation of verified carbon credits, creating a secure and transparent market for these assets.

The company has created a complete ecosystem for digital horse racing enthusiasts, aiming to provide a realistic and engaging experience with real-world value.
The core of the Hash Horses platform is its collection of NFT horses, starting with the "Genesis" collection. Each horse has unique traits and abilities that affect its performance in races. The platform's services include a marketplace for buying, selling, and trading these NFT horses, as well as a breeding system that allows owners to create new, unique offspring. The central feature is the Racecourse, where players can enter their horses in races to compete for prizes and improve their horse's stats.
Hash Horses is built exclusively on the Hedera network. The Hedera Token Service (HTS) used to mint all NFT horses and the native fungible token and the racing and breeding mechanics are managed through smart contracts.
