EasyBat is a #blockchain-based solution for identifying and tracking batteries throughout their lifecycle, from production, to ownership and operation, to second-life uses, recycling, and/or end-of-life disposal.
For example, EasyBat partner @Fluvius_be is the grid operator for the Flanders region of Belgium, serving millions of electricity customers. At the end of 2020, they announced the rollout of more than 4 million smart meters on their network: smart-energy.com/industry-secto…
In neighboring Germany, there are already 270,000 residential batteries connected to solar PV systems. That market has grown 50% in each of the past three years. pv-magazine.com/2021/02/19/ger…

Electricity grid operators are becoming TRANSPORTATION companies, via #electricvehicle charging infrastructure and supplying electrons as 'fuel' to those #EVs.
The 2021 edition of @EdelmanPR's annual global Trust Barometer recently came out and contains some fascinating insights relevant to the work of the #EnergyWeb community. (a brief thread)
Insight #1: Globally, people are more concerned about the #climatecrisis than they are about contracting COVID-19.
Insight #2: Three industries highly relevant for #climateaction - energy, automotive, and technology - saw trust backslide from the previous report.
Insight #3: Business is now the most-trusted institution, more than NGOs, government, and media. Overall, business is seen as both ethical AND competent, a powerful combination when applied toward an issue such as #climatechange.
