Abstract: The present invention relates to a blockchain-integrated system (100) for real-time industrial emission monitoring and environmental liability quantification, comprising a data acquisition layer (200), a computational logic layer (400), and a blockchain integrity layer (500). The data acquisition layer (200) comprises a microcontroller (202) integrated with a plurality of multi-gas sensors (201) configured to detect molecular concentrations of pollutants. The computational logic layer (400) comprises a sustainability factor engine (401) configured to compare sensor data against regulatory thresholds and calculate an environmental debt value. The blockchain integrity layer (500) comprises an oracle-mediated bridge (501) and a smart contract (502) configured to issue eco-credits as non-tradable digital liabilities to a digital ledger associated with an industrial participant. The eco-credits represent a transparent and immutable record of excess pollution that remains on the digital ledger until offset by verified environmental restoration activities. (Figure 1)
