Energy Web is a blockchain-based platform that allows for buying and selling green energy credits. Carbon credits, or certified emission reductions (CERs), are a form of fiat money used to put a dollar amount on a unit of carbon dioxide. Energy Web has strong ties to the World Economic Forum and the electric vehicle sector, and partnerships with Volkswagen, Shell, and General Electric, as well as energy companies like Duke Power and Pacific Gas and Electric Company. The company has also signed a deal with NV Energy, a subsidiary of Warren Buffet’s Berkshire Hathaway, to track carbon credits for the solar power grid in Nevada.
