A
Coming
up
next,
I'm
really
excited
to
introduce
some
of
our
original
collaborators
in
the
greenville
coin
project.
Many
many
months
ago,
when
we
were
first
discussing,
you
know
the
initial
steps
and
what
we
could
do.
We
came
across
the
work
of
the
incredibly
talented
folks
at
the
energy
web
foundation
and
we
just
knew
that
we
had
to
work
with
them,
so
we
got
on
a
call
and
some
magic
happens.
So
it
gives
me
a
huge
amount
of
pleasure
to
introduce
some
of
the
folks
from
there.
A
B
Thank
you
so
much
for
the
warm
welcome
introduction
super
happy
to
be
here
very
proud
to
be
partners
with
with
protocol
labs
and
filecoin.
We
actually
do
not
have
danian
physically
with
us,
but
he's
hardest
with
us
he's
a
bit
sick.
So
it's
me
in
address
so
on
our
agenda
today,
we'll
introduce
ourselves
really
briefly
and
how
we
relate
to
the
cryptoclimate
accord
and
then
we'll
dive
into
one
of
the
specific
work
streams
at
energy
web
foundation.
B
Andras
will
walk
through
a
demo
of
a
product
type
and
the
experience
that
the
storage
providers
can
expect
in
the
first
versions
of
xero,
all
right
so
very
quickly
about
ourselves,
in
addition
to
being
a
partner
for
product
labs
and
filecoin,
we're
a
non-profit
foundation
and
we
built
publicly
accessible
so
open
source
software
tools,
mainly
revolving
around
blockchain
and
decentralized
tech.
That's
the
first
thing.
B
The
second
thing
is,
we
also
lead
a
huge
community
of
different
energy
and
technology
companies
to
understand
their
requirements
and
build
the
technology
together
to
make
sure
that
everything
that
we
build
and
that's
available
to
the
public
actually
meets
the
requirements
of
the
participants
from
the
energy
sector.
So
if
you
look
at
the
technology,
stack
that
we're
building-
and
you
see
here-
a
quick
snapshot-
it
can
be
a
bit
confusing,
but
where
we
are
active
is
the
the
purple
boxes.
B
So
our
technology
step
mainly
consists
of
our
own
chain
called
energy
web
chain.
That's
a
proof
of
authority
with
foreign
validators
coming
from
the
energy
space,
we
have
the
utility
component,
so
basically
the
tools
that
make
it
easier
to
use
our
chain
and
build
apps
on
top,
and
then
we
have
the
software
development
toolkits
or
the
sdks,
and
those
are
software
tools
that
help
build
dabs
in
specific
use
cases,
and
one
of
them
is
the
renewable
energy.
True
stability
that
we
will
cover
today
and
then
here
is
a
snapshot
of
our
community.
B
Some
of
the
names
might
be
familiar
to
you
like
volkswagen,
shell,
ng,
etc.
So,
in
addition
to
having
the
community
and
in
building
the
tech,
we
also
launched
a
crypto
climate
accord
initiative
that
my
colleague
sheena
will
be
talking
about
slightly
later.
The
idea
is
to
set
decarbonization
targets
for
the
crypto
industry
and
make
sure
that
there
are
more
and
more
players
like
the
file
coin
and
protocol
labs
out
there.
B
So,
in
the
spirit
of
this
initiative
and
our
active
work
within
the
traceability
domain,
we
started
working
on
a
project
called
xero
and
I
will
jump
into
describing
the
project
briefly
in
a
second,
but
before
that,
I'd
like
to
do
a
little
exercise
for
everyone
who's
on
the
line,
and
for
that
you
just
need
to
use
your
fingertips
and
the
chat
box.
I'd
like
to
understand
the
level
of
awareness
or
familiarity
with
with
traceability
and
why
it's
important
to
track
renewable
electricity.
B
So
if
you
can't
input
your
answer,
a
b
c
d-
and
there
can
be
more
than
one
answer
in
the
chat
box,
that
would
be
great.
So
why
is
it
important
to
track
electricity
once
a
once?
It
enters
the
grid,
it's
impossible
to
drive
it
back.
Tracking
electricity
helps
governments
and
others
to
achieve
their
targets,
and
consumers
actually
want
to
see
the
origin
or
none
of
the
above.
B
B
Has
many
many
different
angles,
and
one
of
them,
which
is
very
important,
is
to
show
to
the
environmentally
conscious
consumers.
That
also
relates
to
the
falcon
network
where
the
energy
is
coming
from
and
to
make
sure
that
the
renewable
energy
can
be
attributed
to
the
consumption
of
to
your
consumption.
B
That's
where
the
concept
of
renewable
energy
certificate
comes
in.
So
when
you
track
the
origin
of
electricity,
that
you
need
a
certificate
that
actually
has
all
the
information
about
the
plant
generated
the
generating
plant,
where
the
electricity
has
been
produced.
How
much
at
which
point
of
time,
and
so
this
instruments
are
super
useful
for
policy
makers
to
track
progress
to
incentivize
renewable
energy
consumption
and
also
are
useful
for
companies
seeking
to
greenify
their
electricity.
B
Their
electricity
consumption
and
show
that
they
are
reducing
their
environmental
impact,
so
rags
actually
are
quite
common
around
the
globe
and
they
have
different
names
like
geos
in
europe,
irex
and
the
rest
of
the
world
nfcs
in
japan,
etc.
But
it's
essentially
the
same
mechanism.
It's
a
certificate
certifying
the
unit
of
energy
and
where
it's
coming
from
so
we
have
another
exercise.
This
is
the
last
one
for
a
day.
I
promise
by
procuring
rex
what
can
storage
providers
claim?
B
B
Can
they
claim
that
they
have
fully
decarbonized
all
of
their
operations,
so
basically
achieved
net
zero
or
none
of
the
above
looks
like
we
have
a
consensus,
so
it's
most
people
think
it's
b.
There
is
one
response
about
the
c
and
the
correct
answer
is
b.
So
y
c
is
not
the
correct
answer.
The
caveat
here
is
all
right
so
by
procuring
wrecks.
B
You're
covering
your
electricity
consumption,
which
is
the
majority
of
your
carbon
footprint,
but
as
what
we
saw
from
the
research
project
presented
earlier,
there
are
also
other
emissions
that
are
that
are
coming
out
from
your
operations.
That
could
be,
for
example,
the
hardware,
so
so
racks
cover
the
majority
portion
of
the
electricity,
but
not
everything
if
that
makes
sense
great
so
now
was,
as
we
are
familiar
with
the
concept
of
rex.
B
That
being
said,
when
we
take
back
when
we
take
a
step
back
and
see
so
why
did
we
even
think
about
traceability
in
the
first
place
and
zero
with
decentralized
technology?
The
answer
is
pretty
complex,
but
to
simplify
in
the
market
of
renewable
energy,
traceability
and
other
decarbonization
product.
There
needs
to
be
trust,
and
there
needs
to
be.
B
For
everyone
who
participates
on
the
supply
and
the
demand
side
make
sure
that
we
document
every
unit
of
energy.
We
document
the
change
of
ownership
and
also
we
capture
when
the
certificate
is
used
for
consumption
purposes
right
and
then
the
certificate
cannot
move
to
anybody
else
any
longer
or
cannot
be
double
counted.
So
this
was
the
aspiration
behind
our
work
and
traceability
and
and
application
of
blockchain
and
other
decentralized
tech
in
this
space.
C
Welcome
to
xero,
as
miranda
said,
this
is
only
a
preview
we're
still
working
on
it.
It's
wireframes
that
have
been
designed
by
our
team,
but
just
so
that
you
have
a
wider
understanding
of
how
zero
is
going
to
look
like
here's,
the
landing
page.
So
a
storage
provider
interested
in
sourcing
renewables
from
xero
would
come
into
a
page
as
this
one,
some
of
the
the
figures
or
or
wording
that
you'll
see
here
are
placeholders,
but
we
hope
that
this
gives
you
an
idea.
So
again,
it's
the
landing
page.
C
If
a
storage
provider
wants
to
source
renewables,
you'd
probably
go
into
the
specific
crypto
user
journey
that
we've
built
along
with
protocol
labs.
So
once
you
click
on
it,
you
have
the
opportunity
to
actually
choose
different
protocols.
So
here
you
can
already
see
bitcoin
and
you
can
see
file
coin
as
well.
C
Once
you
choose
file
coin,
you
have
a
different
look
something
closer
to
home,
probably,
but
once
you
go
further,
you'd
be
able
to
add
your
information,
and
this
is
a
key
part.
So
in
this
section
here,
you're
already
seeing
that
you
can
provide
a
minor
id,
you
can
provide
a
country,
specific
region,
a
generation
and
a
start
date
and
end
date,
and
you
can
do
this
for
many
regions
now.
C
Once
you
enter
this
this
information,
you
send
out
a
request
to
xero,
which
then
matches
that
request
some
options.
You
can
actually
hint
out
to
the
supplier
that
you
are
willing
to
do
wire
transfer.
Traditional
energy
suppliers
work
with
invoicing
systems,
but
maybe
some
of
them
will
be
encouraged
to
accept
crypto
payments.
C
So
that's
a
another
interesting
opportunity
that
we're
actually
encouraging
and
yeah.
Before
sending
the
request,
you
can
confirm
here's,
a
small
summary
of
the
regions,
the
energy
amount
that
you
want
to
procure
or
source
and
that
request
zero
would
actually
receive
that
offer,
as
you
are
seeing
now
in
this
screen
and
would
match
it.
C
So
now
you
have
this
wireframe,
where
you
see
a
supplier,
in
this
case
john
smith,
who's
supplying
renewable
energy
certificates
from
france
and
it's
three
megawatt
hours
at
a
specific
price
and
you
have
the
opportunity
or
the
option
to
decline
or
accept
the
offer.
This
is
a
short
summary
of
the
information
and
it's
not
as
detailed
as
we
want
it
to
be
in
the
future.
We'd
encourage
suppliers
or
in
the
next
versions.
We
want
suppliers
to
post
as
much
as
information
as
they
they
can
related
to
to
their
devices.
C
So
in
that
way,
you
can
know
where
the
devices
are,
what,
if
they're,
supporting
specific
causes
or
if
they
have
higher
impact
than
just
traditional
hydro,
for
instance,
and
well
moving
on
forward.
Once
you
accept
the
offer,
you
actually
have
the
ability
to
either
choose
crypto
or
you
can
actually
do
both,
but
you
can
say:
yeah
you'd
be
connected
with
the
supplier.
You
you
you'd,
be
giving.
A
C
As
alan
already
mentioned,
he
pointed
out
that
there's
several
information
about
the
the
supplier
address
the
the
country
where
you
sourced
energy
from
the
energy
source-
and
this
is
all
great
information
right
now.
These
pages
are
currently
live,
and
this
is
what
we
have
been
working
on,
but
for
the
next
iterations
with
protocol
labs.
Our
goal
is
to
have
something
like
this
actually
go
through
the
the
crypto
journey
that
we
just
showed
you.
So
that's
going
to
be
something
new
additional
that
we
didn't
have
in
our
first
iteration.
C
Our
your
ideas
can
help
us
build
this
tool
in
a
better
way,
so
that
it
can
actually
meet
your
requirements
and
needs,
and
yeah
we'd
be
really
happy
to
speak
out
with
you.
I
think,
that's
all
from
our
part,
we're
very,
very
excited
and
looking
forward
for
the
next
iteration
and
working
together
with
protocol
labs.
Thank
you
very
much,
and
I
hope
this
short
glimpse
gives
you
a
wide
idea
of
what
xero
is
all
about.
Thank
you.
