2/ The Trail:
NAB executive of innovation and partnerships Howard Silby stated that NAB is working on a stablecoin to settle transactions on its distributed ledger technology based carbon credits platform "Carbonplace"

3/ The Connection:
"As part of that role, I worked with Wes Geisenberger and a number of people on a project called Project Carbon, which is tokenizing Carbon working in a global strategic banking alliance with Itau Unibanco, NAB, NatWestGroup, and CIBC" 1:50

4/ Suspect 1: NAB
"Project Carbon is a terrific example of how technologies such as blockchain can address existing barriers and make carbon offsets more accessible for our customers.” Ross McEwan, Group CEO

5/ Suspect 2: CIBC
"Project Carbon is one example of opportunities to unlock the potential of carbon removal, and we will continue to play an active role in helping this sector to grow." Harry Culham, Sen Exec VP and Group Head, CIBC Capital Markets

6/ Suspect 3: Itau Unibanco
“Aligned with the Taskforce on Scaling Voluntary Carbon Markets (TSVCM), the project helps remove some of the existing barriers to buying voluntary carbon offsets,” the bank said in a statement sent to the CVM.

7/ Suspect 4: NatWestGroup
"Collaborating with CIX has the opportunity to transform the voluntary carbon credit market. Through Carbonplace, we can drive transparent and secure trading...” Robert Begbie, CEO Natwest Markets

8/ Suspect 5: UBS
“Making connections is at the heart of what we do for our clients, which is why we’re delighted to become a member of Carbonplace”
Kevin Arnold, Global Markets Co-Head Distribution

9/ Suspect 6: Standard Chartered
"Carbonplace will reduce barriers to entry in the voluntary carbon market, and give project developers in the global south direct access to large numbers of customers..."
Chris Leeds, Head of Carbon Markets Development

10/ Suspect 7: BNP Paribas
"Carbonplace will give greater transparency on the pricing and material climate impact of carbon credits, and supports corporates and investors to access quality projects...” Constance Chalchat, CSO

11/ The Collaboration: CIX
" Carbonplace and CIX, through Project Marketplace, brings together easy access to curated, quality credits and a settlement system underpinned by transparency and integrity...”
Mikkel Larsen, CEO at CIX

12/ The Association:
Climate Impact X, a global exchange and marketplace for carbon credits is a joint venture between SGX, Standard Chartered, Temasek and DBS who is also a governing council member on the Hedera Hashgraph blockchain

13/ The Motive:
"DBS is going to join the Governing body of the hashgraph, the Hedera Foundation. ONE OF THE PREMISES of that is that we're gonna try and redefine how the blockchain protocols work in a non carbon intensive and very low cost way" 58:46

14/ The Verdict:
The jury couldn't reach a final verdict for lack of conclusive evidence, but has sufficient "circumstantial" evidence to suggest that Hedera could be the most likely ledger to offset those carbon emissions.
