Introducing The New Way To Fight The Global Warming

in #blockchain6 years ago (edited)

Do you know what the main reason for global warming/climate change is all over the world? Emission of greenhouse gases like Carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere. We all know that the electricity needed for our daily living is generated by the burning of fossil fuels like coal. Because of that, every year close to 9 billion tons of carbon are emitted into the atmosphere. Another important source of carbon emission is the transportation industry. Every year approximately 1.7 billion tons of CO2 are issued by the vehicles.

About 28 percent of the global CO2 emissions are originated from China. The US grabs the second place as it produces 16 percent of the CO2 emissions. Because of the CO2 emissions, the temperature of the earth is increasing every year. And, the researchers and scientists have stated that the average temperature rise should be less than 2 degree Celsius. Otherwise, the survival of the humans will be challenging on this planet.

Now, the question is: Which is the practical way to combat the climate change/global warming? Generating electricity using renewable energy sources like sun, wind etc. is considered as an alternative to using fossil fuel which will result in reduced carbon emission. However, the power generation using renewable energy sources is so expensive that many countries are not considering that as an alternative option. And, it will take at least a decade or so to replace the fossil fuels with renewable energy as there are not many subsidies for the alternative energy source. That’s why the consumers are sticking to the fossil fuels for their energy needs as they don’t have an alternate solution.

Even though a lot of progress has been made in the renewable energy sector, the reduction of carbon emissions is slow. Zero carbon project aims to provide a solution to this problem through its blockchain based platform. What is a Zero carbon project? How does it help the world to fight the climate change/global warming? Zero carbon project aims to tackle the global climate change using blockchain technology and international carbon credits. And, it is divided into two parts as given below:

  • Deliver green energy at low energy costs to the consumers
  • Reward the consumers who utilise the Zero carbon project for reducing the carbon emissions

Zero carbon project will list the affordable energy suppliers on its platform. And, the energy users can select their desired energy provider and sign the contract with them. All the transactions on this platform will be based on the Energis tokens, which will be sold by the company during its ICO token sale event. And, the consumers will get the Energis tokens as rewards for the ones listed below:

  • Purchasing energy from the listed providers on this market
  • Referring other consumers
  • Registering with a project as a consumer
  • For the first contract purchased on the market

Energis tokens can be used for paying the transaction fees on the market. Check out https://www.zerocarbonproject.com/ to learn more information about the Energis tokens.
