BUENOS AIRES, Argentina,
April 22, 2018 /PRNewswire/
-- Greeneum is pleased to announce that it has created the
world's first blockchain-powered sustainable, scalable and secure
energy and data trading platform; which we believe is the first major step towards ending a
global reliance on toxic and non-renewable energy sources including
fossil fuels. To protect contributors and bring greater
transparency to these projects, the Greeneum platform is built on
the ethereum blockchain. Agreements are held on this distributed
ledger, which helps to ensure that terms are secure and visible at
all times.
Greeneum's platform is a first of its kind marketplace and
energy production management system. It enables contributors
from around the world to invest in green energy projects including
solar, hydro and wind power; while concurrently creating production
efficiencies during demand fluctuations. Pilot projects currently
underway include a grid operator in Cyprus and a micro-grid in Israel; and more are set to be announced
throughout the course of 2018.
"Greeneum's first in kind platform enables people and companies
to make contributions to green energy products around the world,"
said Greeneum founder Assaf Ben-Or. "Our goal is to foster
increased use of renewable energy sources and reduce the carbon
emissions that are contributing to climate change."
The GREEN Token is central to Greeneum's innovation story, and
contributors can access it during a token pre-sale starting today,
Earth Day. Qualified individuals will be able to start contributing
to a wide variety of projects later this year.
Greeneum's innovative approach to green energy production,
distribution and consumption management is enabled through key
innovations including:
- Crypto-based platform: Using an ERC-20 compliant token
enables contributors to have one point of entry to contribute to
projects around the world;
- Smart contracts: Enable efficiencies by
disintermediating the various brokers and middlemen currently
involved in these investments, and remove trust as a factor between
counterparties;
- Distributed Energy Resource Management System (DERMS):
Through use of artificial intelligence and proprietary algorithms,
Greeneum enables electricity producers to anticipate demand in
advance and direct resources accordingly; enabling them to create
reserves and reduce production costs.
"By enabling contributors to help fund these projects and track
their contributions, Greeneum is bringing a level of transparency
to these projects not previously seen," Ben-Or continued. "And
empowering utilities to better anticipate and manage costs, we are
hopeful that these increased efficiencies will enable contributors
to have an even greater impact on the projects they choose to
participate in."
Greeneum was founded by a team of dedicated experts with
experience across a wide variety of solar and renewable energy
projects and startups including:
- Assaf Ben-Or, founder and CEO
- Elya Katsir Dolev,
co-founder and CTO
- Rodrigo Rapoport,
COO
- Guillermo Wajner,
CMO
Greeneum also has a strong advisory board and corporate partners
including: IBM, d10e, Etherlabs Chain Dynamics, SolarChange,
CoinAgenda and more.
