Zero Carbon Project: Tackling Climate Change

in #blockchain6 years ago



Climate change and Renewable energy
The single action of burning fossil fuels, such as coal, oil and natural gas in order to generate energy is the highest contributor to climate change. It’s estimated that power generation globally accounts for about 23 billion tonnes of CO2 emission annually. To effectively tackle climate change, we must significantly cut down on green house gas emissions from burning of fossil fuels. This means that we must embrace modern green energy alternatives like solar, wind and battery powered energy generators. Although these alternative renewable energy sources are the future, the major challenge facing its wise adoption is that the technology is still expensive, instead people resort to fossil fuel which is cheaper for their energy at the expense of the environment and this has led to a slow carbon footprint of renewable energy.



Zero Carbon solution
The Zero Carbon project powered by the blockchain technology is committed to tackling climate change by switching consumers to Zero Carbon Energy through a competitive Zero Carbon market where carbon is offset by international quotas. The Zero Carbon Energy will be cheaper when compared with the current renewable and fossil fuel contracts, this will be achieved by leveraging international carbon credits and an intense market competition. Not only does Zero Carbon Project tackle climate change, consumers could save more by switching to Zero Carbon Energy compared to renewable energy and fossil fuel sourced electricity. Energy suppliers will benefit from a large consumer base who are ready to make the switch to Zero Carbon Energy. Suppliers of Zero Carbon Energy can source their energy from renewable sources or from fossil fuel but they will have to pay a premium in order to offset the carbon emissions using international carbon credits.



Energis Token
As a token driven economy, the Zero Carbon Project will be powered by the Energies utility token, an ERC20 standard token built on the Ethereum blockchain. Energy suppliers will pay for transaction fees using the Energis token and 70% of the transaction fees received will be diluted back into a reward pool to incentive consumers for consuming Zero Carbon Energy, this will encourage a healthy community growth. Consumers will be able to trade this tokens for other fiat or cryptocurrencies on crypto exchanges.
