The Role of Blockchain in Carbon Invoicing

The Role of Blockchain in Carbon Invoicing

Our very lives depend on the resources we consume and we as an intelligent species must deeply understand the relationship between all things living. Climate change effects if not curbed can most possibly destroy humanity forever, if not causing mass migration resulting in horrific consequences. Carbon invoicing is the basic measure through which every citizen will be able to self govern his or her contribution towards society. I am currently working on projects related to anonymous carbon goals and achievement sharing portals which can serve as educational material and further general reference to industry, government, and public. In order to accurately assign an HN - Hazard Number (Hazard Number is the culmination of all factors responsible for unsustainable living conditions on the planet for future and current generations). The applications for such a portal will also be able to integrate a person's lifestyle, health, and other priorities. This voluntary movement with a blockchain-based open-source platform can achieve decentralization of energy and resources' manufacturing, distribution, and consumption decisions, thereby fulfilling the SDGs - Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations.

The Role of Blockchain in achieving Electricity Decentralization

The Role of Blockchain in achieving Electricity Decentralization

Electricity consumption has been traditionally served by distribution utilities operated through government regulatory bodies. We never really get to know the place from which the coal was mined that turned the turbine responsible for charging my phone today. If only there was a way to know that today's electricity in my colony was sourced from a sustainable community solar farm operating nearby and not from an old inefficient thermal power plant that emits life-threatening SOx and NOx, I would have preferred to charge my Electric vehicle today and go on that long drive. If only there was a way to price my buying choice and thus give me hold over investment decisions related to my energy procurement, I would have been guilt-free of not destroying this prized planet for the future generations.  The only way forward is an economy that is sensitive to the environment, an economy where all resources have been tagged with their cumulative carbon footprint, an economy where energy buy and sell choices are incentivized to match small pocket consumers with large investors indirectly. Such an energy investment network removes the oil and coal oligarchs (currently planning to be moon and mars settlers) from the equation and thus provides true democratization to the consumer class. We can no more consume energy in ways the oligarchs have forced it upon us as it has really dramatic consequences for the developing world. It creates weather patterns and temperatures that are extreme for a healthy planet to naturally survive. The dramatic temperature shifts can create dramatic quantities of climate refugees struggling to find land to live. 

A Blockchain-based energy transaction platform thus addresses such issues of consumer empowerment and builds economic consensus on the adoption of clean sources of energy.

Anthropocene Solutions will jointly co-develop research projects and case studies (with live implementation and demo wherever possible) with energy generators, transmission operators, distribution companies, large and general consumers, the transportation industry and government authorities. 

All such research projects, developed knowledge material will thus be publicly available for government authorities, regulators, industry players, etc. to openly adopt, modify and refer to. All co-developed knowledge material will be generated with a not for profit motive while making all relevant research findings available on the platform for common good. 

Anthropocene Solutions will act as a research and engagement portal for Blockchain enthusiasts and will forever be open for research, ideation and development in tandem with energy ecosystem development in the specified geography.

Decentralization through Digitalization to achieve Decarbonization

Decentralization through Digitalization to achieve Decarbonization 

Electricity has changed our way of living and has brought a paradigm change in mankind's development in a very short span of time. it's high time we think differently into our ways of viewing energy and the way it's generated and transported. The vast amount of generation, transmission and distribution assets around us binds us to a vicious cycle of greed-based destruction. We are increasingly mining more, producing more, consuming more and our per capita consumption is on an all-time rise as we increasingly feel the need to surround ourselves with machines. Machines, Mines, Refineries and Power Lines that are owned and operated by a few select entities while the general population is forced to bow down to the dictated ways of generation and consumption of energy. It is as if we have no choice in our hands when it comes to choosing our source of energy. We get to choose the cloth we want to wear and make sure that an innocent animal is not harmed or a minimum wage laborer in Bangladesh is not exploited. 

Do we get much choice when it comes to electricity and transportation? 

Do we have any model to calculate our net anthropogenic energy consumption and generation?

Do we further have any model to visualize the sources, investments and sustainable practices? 

Anthropocene Solutions will answer these basic challenges through a collaborative approach to research-based policy intervention and multi-stakeholder based peer-reviewed knowledge exchange. Anthropocene Solutions will host the Whos Who of Energy Industry Leaders and Pioneers trying to solve our day to day challenges of energy delivery. It will provide an unbiased platform to let the knowledge experts debate and address the urgent needs of energy security for all. It will also act as an independent platform for joint research project collaboration, social media for researchers, an open-source knowledge database et.al.

In the next decade, Anthropocene Solutions aims to engage more than a million researchers who will jointly change the way we Generate, Transport and Consume Energy. Anthropocene Solutions will develop independent knowledge reports developed voluntarily by academicians, industry leaders, the general populace, regulatory experts, NGO activists, scientists et.al.

Anthropocene Solutions will deliver research only in the following area/objective

"Decentralization through Digitalization to achieve Decarbonization"

We at Anthropocene Solutions are a bunch of ordinary citizens trying to bring people together in our fight against the traditional ways of energy Generation, Transportation, and Distribution. 

Anthropocene Solution will always be a virtual office and will never establish physical address to keep researchers anonymous/ grant partial anonymity as per the research paper

Researchers reserve the right to disclose their work to the general public or stay anonymous, while such anonymous contributed research papers will only work as public knowledge material and unuseful for any academic citing. 

Anthropocene Solutions will thus engage the thinkers of today's world to co-develop sustainability standards, sustainability voluntary practices, sustainability roadmaps for companies, sustainability strategy, and sustainable livelihood promotion.

No research projects moderated by Anthropocene Solutions will ever create any monetary pipeline or donations. All of our researchers are expected to deliver projects as per timelines and project objectives completely free of cost and are expected to spend their own resources for any joint research meetings, research events, community events, etc.

As we run a virtual office, we will never need donations to sustain and will solely rely on ad revenues, while the adds must meet our sustainable practices guidelines. The ad revenues will be equivalent to the amount needed to maintain the Anthropocene Solutions research platform, necessary community engagement, branding, and media, etc.
