Rowan Energy Blockchain - Energy Blockchain

Rowan Energy Blockchain

Rowan Energy Blockchain is the world's first community supported Green Energy Blockchain. Our blockchain is based on the low powered Proof of Authority consensus mechanism, Where each of our members takes a role either validating the energy transactions or generating renewable electricity and selling it back to the community.

Decentralizing the Energy Market

Our members are entwined in what we do. Each member if they choose can validate the transactions on our network, this decentralized system allows for transparency and trust. The work is rewarded with Rowan Tokens that can be used towards your energy bills, used for transaction fees, traded on an exchange or saved for future growth.

Energy trading apps

We are building the series of dAPPs for the energy market. Tokenizing REGOS, REC, carbon credits and will enable energy producers to sell their energy directly to consumers peer to peer

Vision

We want to turn the energy market on its head, with a blockchain driven decentralized energy community.

We wanted to build a new kind of blockchain that is truly decentralize. Within our energy community our customers validate the energy transactions and are rewarded for their contribution to the community. We want to achieve this whilst at the same time encourage people to buy green energy and also have solar installed to produce their own green energy.

Using a custom built Proof of Authority (POA) blockchain we can distribute to our members and supports as low powered Rowan Hub that is hosted in the home. These devices confirm the transactions on the blockchain and gives its owners daily rewards for doing so, in the future these rewards can be used to offset their energy costs.

In the future our members will be able to buy their electricity from other members peer to peer and in almost real time. Our energy is generated primarily by its members, any extra energy requirements will be bought as a club from renewable sources, giving us the buying power of a large customer base allowing us to negotiate excellent deals.

FAQ

First a for most we built Rowan Energy to encourage people to install roof top solar. We have done this by enabling customers to buy and sell solar between them giving consumers affordable green energy and better and quicker returns for the solar energy.

Renewable Energy Certificates (sometimes called a REC or a ROC) are certificates that prove that the source of your energy are from a renewable source. If you own a large wind farm or solar farm you can be assigned a REC for every 1 MW of energy generated. This has made the certificate market inaccessible to roof top or back yard electricity prosumers. Until Now. We have designed a new kind of energy company that has tokenised and fractionised the energy market. This allows the source of the roof top solar energy to be verified and stored on a blockchain. Allowing our customers to benefit from this untapped market.

As we are driving to decentralise our energy company we wanted to make each of our customers part of the Rowan ecosystem. Our members can choose to have a small low powered Rowan Hub in their home that verifies each energy transaction on our Rowan Blockchain. It's true that Blockchain miners are usually very wastfull when it comes to transaction verification, but we have built our own blockchain using a Proof of Authority consensus. Meaning our miners are small and low powered. ‘Proof-of-authority’ puzzles constitute the tool to distribute authority to network participants. Just as the real world with a central entity with the authority to accept or reject transactions, and with the ability to ensure, among other things, that assets are not stolen or spent twice, the blockchain involves the processing of transactions by decentralized market participants (i.e. ‘Rowan Hubs’), our customers are rewarded with Rowan Tokens that they can use to further lower their electricity costs.

We are still launching our product. But crowd funding will start June 2019. You can truly be a part of this epic journey.

Yes! All our customers will have a referral link that they can share with their friends and family. Once a person signs up using that link the referrer gets some Rowan Loyalty tokens in return, these tokens can be used to offset your energy costs.

We are a huge supporter of blockchain technology. Our blockchain is custom built and does not sit on any other well known blockchains. But as a supporter of blockchain our members as well as the usual ways pay for electricity, will be able to settle their accounts using cryprocurrency. The best and easiest way to purchase Crypto is from an exchange. The most popular by far in www.coinbase.com. The Coinbase website is very straightforward and easy to use.
