Energy + blockchain sparks new sparks and brings light to the global energy Internet

2Energy blockchain: related projects are being implemented

Currently, energy blockchain projects are mainly concentrated in developed countries, and mainly play a role in the following scenarios: ( 1 ) peer-to-peer transactions of blockchain energy, ( 2 ) construction of distributed traditional energy, ( 3 ) tokenization of energy market transactions, ( 4 ) wholesale energy trading market, and ( 5 ) blockchain energy for electric vehicles.

At present, many project companies have achieved applications in these scenarios, including LO3 Energy 's microgrid, Electron 's distributed natural gas and electricity metering system, Power Ledger 's tokenized blockchain energy trading market, Enerchain 's integrated energy wholesale trading system and Innogy 's blockchain electric vehicle charging system. These projects have received investment from many giants.

3 The future of energy blockchain: more business models enter the process of materialization

The development trend of energy blockchain in 2018 is mainly in four aspects: (1 ) the investment in energy facilities for blockchain will show an upward trend, ( 2 ) energy facilities in the United States will enter the pilot stage, ( 3 ) energy wholesale trade will gradually achieve commercial deployment, and ( 4 ) other business models will also be materialized. In China, many explorers have emerged in the field of blockchain energy in recent years. The first energy blockchain laboratory was established in Beijing, the State Grid applied for a patent for blockchain power trading, and Sinochem Group used blockchain technology for energy export trade. The information level and industrial technology strength of China's energy system are close to or even exceed those of some developed countries. With the background of power market and energy supply-side reform, blockchain technology may have a broad and far-reaching impact on many aspects of China's energy field in the future.
