Uncover the profound evolution of blockchain from a power-intensive tech to a linchpin in sustainability.

Join us on a journey through the transformative impact of blockchain on energy, waste management, and more!

1. Energy Distribution Reinvented:

Blockchain disrupts energy distribution, allowing users direct access to the grid.

No middlemen mean electricity at wholesale prices. This decentralisation opens doors to transparent and cost-effective energy services.

2. Microgrids and Peer-to-Peer Networks:

Microgrids, powered by renewables, benefit from blockchain's peer-to-peer networks.

You can sell surplus energy directly to the grid, tokenising excess energy for easy trading.

3. Incentivising Clean Energy:

Blockchain incentivises clean energy at the consumer level. Imagine earning energy tokens for choosing eco-friendly options—a win for both sustainability and commercial viability.

4. Carbon Offsetting and Tracking:

Smart contracts automate carbon tracking, making it public and irrefutable.

Zero-knowledge proofs ensure adherence to standards without compromising identities. Oracles unlock new clean energy use cases.

5. Tokenisation of Carbon Credits:

Projects like KlimaDAO and Toucan tokenise carbon credits, sparking discussions on the future of carbon markets and blockchain's role in shaping them.

6. Waste Management Revolution:

Blockchain brings accountability to waste management by assigning a digital 'tag' to each item.

From production to recycling, every step is recorded on an immutable ledger, eliminating mismanagement and fraud.

7. Tokenising Waste:

Picture communities actively participate in waste collection, incentivised by redeemable digital tokens.

Tokenising waste transforms recyclables into items of value, fostering a circular economy.

8. Water Resource Management:

Integrating blockchain with IoT transforms water resource management. Sensors monitor metrics like water levels and quality, ensuring accountability and responsible use.

9. ESG Initiatives and Beyond:

Blockchain actively participates in ESG initiatives, holding producers and regulators accountable.

It's not just proposing solutions; it's crafting a sustainable future.

Exciting developments unveiled at the Los Angeles Auto Show!

Climate change is often discussed casually, but its gravity is underestimated.

A recent study reveals the true danger for humanity. We paid an average cost of $140 billion annually due to global warming between 2000 and 2019. In 2022, it surged to a staggering $280 billion.

It's crucial to note that due to data gaps, especially from low-income countries, the actual cost might be much higher.

Factors like climate costs due to declining crop yields and sea level rise were not included, potentially amplifying the financial burden.

Over two decades, a staggering 1.2 billion people have been affected by the climate crisis.

Two-thirds of the damage costs were attributed to loss of lives, while the rest resulted from asset destruction and other losses.

Researchers highlighted that their methods can help calculate funding needed for the loss and damage fund established at the UN's climate summit in 2022.

This fund aids recovery from extreme weather events, particularly in economically challenged nations.

Prof. Ilan Noy (Victoria University of Wellington) stated, “The headline number is $140bn a year, already a big figure.”

He stressed this might vastly underestimate climate impacts due to data gaps in many regions

He emphasised that critical data on people's deaths and economic damage from various extreme weather events are missing.

For instance, heatwave death data is available only for Europe, leaving a vast gap in understanding the global toll of heatwaves.

This study is a stark reminder of the urgent need to address climate change comprehensively and urgently.

The true costs are likely far greater than we currently understand, urging us to act swiftly and decisively to protect our planet and humanity.
