Problem
Individuals and corporations lack a trustworthy, automated way to measure and verify the carbon reductions from low‑carbon commuting choices, making it difficult to report Scope 3 transportation emissions and to incentivize sustainable travel.
Solution
HERO2 offers a compliance‑grade verification platform that automatically detects walking, biking, and transit trips using mobile data and maps each trip against a dynamic personal baseline to calculate measurable CO₂ reductions. The system generates verified impact data that can be used for corporate reporting and carbon accounting. Users earn Power tokens for every low‑carbon trip, with bonus SuperPower tokens for surpassing baseline targets, which can be redeemed for discounts and perks through HERO2’s carbon marketplace. The platform also provides dashboards for individuals to track savings, compete on leaderboards, and visualize their climate impact over time.
