The journey to green energy began in the early 19th century when manufacturers and other industries started seeking ways to reduce the adverse effects their operations were doing to the ecosystems around them. Over the years, many joined the fight to save the already-changing climate. This led to the 2015 deliberations that created the 17 sustainable development goals.    

In the last decade, many have been able to come up with different innovations for sustainable energy more use by using new technologies. The emergence of new technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI), Blockchain, Big Data, edge computing, robotic process automation, and the Internet of Things (IoT) has proven to have limitless potential to achieve green energy goals.  

Blockchain: Crypto-energy contracts

Blockchain has proven to be an efficient way of allocating generation assets to a specific point of consumption. Through smart contracts, technology has been used to establish a hierarchy of priorities when it comes to sources of origin. Blockchain applications are now being used to authenticate renewables at the point of origin and keep a record of emissions' permits. Key players can certify whether the supplied green energy is from a 100% green source.  This has facilitated renewable energy certification processes by speeding up and automating the entire process. 

In addition, since blockchain provides a secure avenue for storage, people can easily access the records to understand their energy consumption habits and adjust them accordingly to optimize usage. Buyers and sellers also use peer-to-peer platforms to buy and sell the produced green energy in a more secure and transparent environment.

Greeneum is at the forefront of utilizing block chain technology and AI to change the energy landscape. Think of it as a platform that is launching us into the internet of energy.What the platforms is seeking to achieve is to work with green energy power producers, prosumers and consumers to create a network where the producers can sell their green energy at great rates while the consumes can get green certificates and also engage in carbon trading. The  platforms are currently seeking for affiliates .These include green energy producers,activists, and the government. Agencies and consumers affiliates get an opportunity to have their green energy projects funded by the community of investors at Greeneum.They also get to earn attractive commissions for every investor or green project they onboard onto the Greeneum network

Artificial Intelligence: For Energy Forecasting

Artificial intelligence has been a game-changer for many industries, more so within the Green Industry. The technology has made it possible to predict weather reports with a higher accuracy and details thanks to Xcel, an energy provider in Colorado. In Colorado, energy provider Xcel is implementing AI in an attempt to address these challenges. The company has been able to record better records on weather patterns through the National Center for Atmospheric Research's new AI-based data mining method. The information gathered means that companies could take more considerable precautions and tools when harnessing and preservation of energy.

Internet of Things: Better Energy Mapping

The applications of IoT in Green energy production involve using sensors that are attached to generation, transmission, and distribution equipment. Companies are using these sensors to enable real-time monitoring of power grids and better store the collected data for analysis purposes .  For instance, engineers are using these devices to identify the area with the highest wave energies, significant wave height, and wave directions.  This information is crucial in mapping a better energy road map. This has led to reduced operational costs and lowers dependence on the already limited resources.

How is Greeneum using these great technologies? 

Greeneum is creating the most advanced network in the world for encouraging the production, distribution and consumption of sustainable and renewable energy sources including solar, wind hydro and thermal.

Greeneum is characterized by a range of new technologies that are merging the physical, digital and financial world , challenging and introducing new ideas  about the essence of sustainable human coexciting on the planet.
