Do you think Blockchain can be instrumental in tackling climate change?

In the past few years, the global temperature increase has been at a very alarming rate, causing the scientists across the globe to think of a feasible solution soon.

Melting polar ice caps has led to an increase in sea level that can submerge many countries, change in climate is leading to the extinction of any species and increase in pests due to the world climate changes. All these are so dangerous that it can totally eradicate all life forms on earth by 2050.

The main culprit for all this is global warming. The main cause of global warming, on the other hand, is the incessant burning of fossil fuels. While alternative renewable forms of energy are available, they are very slow and their positive effect is more than neutralized by the negative effects of fossil fuels.

However, the people across the globe have a very limited number of options to choose from when it comes to buying energy. Even if they wish to buy energy from the energy provider which has the lowest carbon footprint, they cannot do so because in most places, there is only one service provider.

Introducing Zero Carbon Project, which is a marketplace for people to choose the best energy service provider among all.

What is Zero Carbon Project?

Zero Carbon project is set for a global launch in 2019, and it aims to change the way people buy energy from different service providers and at the same time, ensure a massive reduction in the global carbon emission levels.

It is basically a marketplace where energy providers can list their costs and their carbon footprints, and based on that, the consumer can make a decision.

This will promote green energy on one hand, on the other hand, it will offer consumers with much more flexibility.

The main component of the platform is the marketplace.

Here, the suppliers' list offers of zero carbon energy contracts in the market. The energy consumers can then go to the market, browse through the available options and select the contract in which they can save the most. Thus, energy contracts from external sources can be exchanged on the platform.

Not only this, consumers and suppliers are rewarded for various activities and for reducing the carbon emission as a whole. These small steps taken by an individual will become huge when everyone on this planet join hands - just like an avalanche.

In this way, by connecting the consumers and suppliers in a single market, Zero Carbon Project is all set to reduce global warming and make the Earth a much better place to live in.

How does it work?

Suppose, you have to buy a kg of apple for consumption in your household. Now, you go to the market.

There are 3 sellers :

• Seller A sells normal apples at Rs. 120/kg.
• Seller B sells organic apples at Rs. 120/kg.
• Seller C sells organic apples at Rs. 110/kg.

Now, organic apples are harvested in such a manner that they use very less amount of pesticides and cause very little damage to the earth.
Also, seller C offers the least price for them, hence, it is quite obvious that you will buy your apples from seller C.

Similarly, Zero Carbon Market also consists of sellers who sell energy whose carbon emission is negligible.

Over there, you can browse through the deals provided by different sellers and then decide on the best one, based on quality and value for money.

In this way, you can get uninterrupted supply of energy on one hand, on the other hand, you are using green energy which essentially reduces your carbon footprint.

If everyone contributes, then we will surely be able to reverse the effects of global warming and make the earth green, safer and healthier once again.

About ICO

The Energis token or the NRG token is the altcoin of the Zero Carbon platform. These tokens will be sold in 3 phases to generate initial capital for the project:

• Private pre-sale - 1st May - Commencement on public pre-sale
• Public pre-sale - Dates to be announced
• Public main sale - Dates to be announced

The total token supply will be capped at 240,000,000 NRG of which 121,330,000 NRG to raise ETH equivalent to 20 million USD, which is the hard cap.

The NRG token is priced at 1 NRG = $0.20, with acceptance of ETH only.

The project has been soft capped at 2 million USD.

Verdict
Global warming is posing some serious challenges to human beings and their well-being. The polar ice caps is a repository of thousands of dormant bacteria. Now that they are melting due to rising temperatures, thse bacteria are becoming active, and are many unknown disease are cropping up. Apart from this, rising pollution levels and carcinogens are adding to the tally.

We need to take steps to save our planet, that too very soon!

Zero Carbon Project is a step in the right direction. Here sellers can sell green energy and consumers can buy those after browsing through all the deals in the market. This will end the unfair monopoly of some energy service providers in various locations and give people better options. People can now choose the service provider which is cheaper and greener. At the same time, it will give investors a whole new opportunity to invest in a totally new economy - the green energy economy. With the need for reduction in carbon levels becoming more and more prominent with each passing day, this economy is bound to provide them with some great returns.

Summing everything up, Zero Carbon Project makes a huge attempt to save our planet, while ensuring profitability of all the participants of the energy industry. Nothing short of a revolution, we have to admit!
