Two words tell the whole story of mankind's presence on Earth. Global Warming. This is a general term of sorts. A much better way to put this to the common folk is to state it as Climate Change. We have heard countless stories and we have even seen the changes in the environment due to all the development and advancements of man.
Hearing this term ever since we were small, to having a whole subject related to it in our schools, there has been not any other single issue that has been plaguing mankind's existence on Earth than that of the possibility of rise inhabitable conditions in the future.
I'm a millennial and even I can notice the drastic change in the season cycle that has occurred compared to 10 years ago. It used to rain in the months marked on the calendar and shine when marked as such. But not so nowadays. It rains whenever there's a storm or else it's no rain at all. Heat waves are on the rise and the maximum temperatures recorded have reached new levels of high.
The water levels increasing and the glaciers are melting at exponentially increased rates. With all this being discussed at every single outlet possible, people view it as a problem for the future and take it lightly, not understanding the effects that it brings about. Yesterday alone, they published an article stating that the increasing CO2 levels will lead to reduction of nutritional value obtained from plants.
With such serious issues like this, it is better to prevent or fix it before it affects us in a adverse way and before the problem becomes unfixable. There have been countless movies and stories that cover this topic and all have some idea on the effects we have on the environment.
People have moved onto renewable sources of energy, cutting down the usage of non-renewable sources. Car manufacturers have started focusing on the design and production of electric-powered cars. This was just pursued as a concept before but has become the main field of concentration for them. People were skeptical when Tesla released their first electric vehicle but soon it became the benchmark for other electric car manufacturers. Even though people are pursuing the above mentioned methods, not many do stick to it, due to it being more costlier than traditional resources and requires mass adoption for it to become easily usable.
Also it requires for you to change or upgrade the underlying infrastructure for you to take full advantage of the newer energy methods.
Zero Carbon Project Platform
They tend to make the renewable energy sources available, easy to access than other sources, and in the process making it self-sufficient and self-supporting. With the introduction of blockchain into this market, we could see much wider adoption of safer energy alternatives and also getting incentives for using their platform. Also, the global reductions in CO2 emissions and others factors causing the above mentioned problems can be reduced, as stated by them, is by making the energy providers compete amongst themselves so as to decrease the overall price while also paying a small premium if they tend to use fossil fuels.
ICO & Team
They have introduced Energis Token based on the Ethereum ECR20 Token. This is what helps them power their platform, with the users getting paid in Energis for using a particular energy provider while the energy provider pays using it for using the platform. This token can be bought and sold just like any other crypto-currency in any third-party exchanges.
The Team consists of energy market professionals with usual Software Devs, Blockchain Devs, Marketing Heads and support staff from a Energy Consultancy. They are a group of 30 people, directly involved in energy and environment sectors.
Conclusion
The Earth is need of fresh air, literally. One way is to either reduce usage, which is unlikely in the developing world. So the other way is to switch to better utilization and efficient energy sources and this is a growing concern ever since the Industrial age set in. No amount of persuasion can make people blindly switch to developing sources over established sources of energy, even if it's the matter of saving the Earth and its resources.
They have a strong team with partners already up and running and they are occurring more and more traction as the days go on. We need more of projects like this and it showcases the versatility of the Blockchain as a whole not just as something that powers Crypto-currencies alone.
