Green Blockchain Technology for Sustainable Smart Cities presents a detailed exploration of adaptation and implementation of green blockchain technology for sustainable and eco-friendly smart city applications. This edited book covers all aspects of the topic and explores smart cities ecosystem applications of blockchain technology.

Green blockchain technology contributes to the smart city ecosystem in many ways, including improved carbon emission trading, facilitated clean energy trading, enhanced climate finance flows, and better tracking and reporting of greenhouse gas emissions reduction. Green logistics, green supply chain, green finance, green environment, green energy, and green coin are some of the examples in which blockchain use cases and solutions are already in place. With the help of 21st century technologies such as cloud computing, Artificial Intelligence, IoT, and blockchain, smart cities can prevent waste, improve the natural ecosystem, and maximize the efficient utilization of resources in smart cities. Novel architectural and business blockchain use case solutions in smart city implementation are at the core of this book.

This book will be beneficial for all researchers, engineers, graduate students, smart city practitioners, and city administrators who are engaged in green blockchain and smart cities-related technologies.
