Community Innovation Lecture Series

In this virtual lecture, Senior Research Fellow at ITOCHU and MOBI Board Member, Sanshiro Fukao, will give the viewer an education on ethical sourcing and the growing tide of decarbonization. Sanshiro discusses the outlook of sustainable mobility in Asia and how decarbonization is not about making more EVs, but creating new economies of movement.

By watching this video, you will learn why blockchain is key in creating a reliable “digital twin of CO2” and for establishing carbon tracking. More visibility in CO2 reduction efforts in supply chains and value chains offers more opportunities to earn carbon credits. Decarbonization means building new economies based on this new currency and can encourage the monetization of next-generation mobility such as CASE and Mobility as a Service (MaaS).
