A system where consumers and prosumers in a local community can use the local electricity grid to store energy and consume energy accordingly.

In future energy production will be more and more decentralised, electric vehicles will become mainstream. Houses will become smart and all kinds of devices can trade energy smartly: consuming directly or feeding back into the grid.

The EnergyCoin Sharing Economy Ecosystem can facilitate tokens on the blockchain to keep value within Circular Communities.

EnergyCoin can provide the Green Engine for innovation and development to grow the Sharing Economy Ecosystem and create new business models to support sustainability.

EnergyCoin Foundation supports Innovation and Development on the platform. Because they are non-profit there is no barrier for adding 'real money' value for new business models. If these business models give returns in a more sustainable environment then funding and support from EnergyCoin Foundation is possible.

New tokens to support the new business model can be issued and communities can build the value proposition together with EnergyCoin Foundation.

Check the website of the EnergyCoin Foundation for more information.

Traditional economy does not appreciate the real value of Biodiversity and Natural Capital. For EnergyCoin these are the main values our society should be based on.

The EnergyCoin platform allows people being rewarded to protect these essential assets and show their value for humanity. This can be done in many ways like tagging locations of valuable biodiversity assets on the EnergyCoin blockchain with on a mobile app. People contributing to this get rewarded in tokens that can be traded for other assets.

In this way we create Proof of Existence for Biodiversity assets which allows analysing information to protect and improve the environment with Environmental Blockchain Solutions.

An application on the EnergyCoin Blockchain rewards people for taking the bicycle instead of a car.

The reward can be used to pay for goods and services on the EnergyCoin platform which contribute to the Sharing Economy.

The benefits for not taking the car for transportation are numerous and often not only for the people who are cycling. With 10% less car traffic during a rainy day there are hardly any traffic jams and no lost time in them for others. Organisations can reward employees coming to the office by bicycle offering extra time-off for instance. Doing so they save carbon emissions that can be traced and accounted for on the EnergyCoin Blockchain.

Organisations can contribute to a more sustainable environment by rewarding their employees with circular value stored on the EnergyCoin blockchain.

Local farmers can contribute to capturing CO₂ and store it in soil and crops.

This value will be increasingly recognised once the CO₂ price will represent the real detrimental effects emissions have on our environment. It is a method to make CO₂ capturing accountable and tradable between various participants in the EnergyCoin Sharing Economy Ecosystem.

For instance a local painter can claim to work CO₂ neutrally by collecting these assets from customers when they pay their invoice and give those assets back to farmers. Those farmers can now also claim to work more environmentally friendly and contribute value to the Circular Communities.

Biofuel can be produced from collected organic material and organic waste, and can be used in local economies.

The EnergyCoin Blockchain can be used to track the whole value-chain and all its separate components and transactions, so the quality of all sources is guaranteed and no energy is wasted due to long distance transportation.

This part of the ecosystem needs more development in the near future.
