heal.abstract	The objective of this research is the examination of the utilization of Blockchain technology in the natural gas supply chain, with a key emphasis on the efficient monitoring of emissions. Blockchain technology, which is the foundation of cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, provides an integrated platform of development for applications that require transparency, efficiency, and traceability. The ambitious plan of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050 highlights the necessity of developing precise and transparent reporting solutions. Such solutions would equip regulators and businesses with the essential tools to identify production bottlenecks that cause excessive emissions, facilitating their resolution and stimulating the refinement of current regulations. This research focuses on the design and the development of a blockchain-enabled emission management system in the natural gas supply chain system. This study includes: • An overview of the fundamental processes within the life cycle of natural gas. • An analysis of the basic principles of blockchain technology. • The creation of a simplified mapping system to trace the source of emissions within the natural gas supply chain, based on data obtained by EPA reports. • The implementation of this mapping system into a pseudo-blockchain application that adheres to the principles of blockchain technology. This thesis aims at validating the feasibility of such an application and establishing the foundation for future expansion. This includes the further development of the mapping system and the creation of an operational decentralized application capable of real-time data collection	en
