ABSTRACT

Despite a lack of acceptance by some policy-makers, climate change is a very real Wicked Problem. The energy sector can be changed and improved using Blockchain; clean energy start-ups are developing new applications that focus on renewable energy, reducing carbon emissions, and developing smart grids. Blockchain can assist these start-ups in offering a decentralised solution that is reliable and effective, thanks to the use of cryptography to ensure trust and crypto-tokens to trade value. As such, Blockchain has a significant chance to help combat climate change because it enables the creation, usage, and exchange of renewable energy in a trustworthy and reliable manner.
