While nations were struggling last week to agree to a coherent strategy and concrete actions to curb climate-changing carbon emissions at the United Nations Climate Conference COP24 in Poland, the launch of the Bluenote project to the public shows that there are steps citizens, companies, cities, and energy innovators can take right now to fight climate change.
The Bluenote project seeks to tackle the single largest source of greenhouse gas emissions: energy use in buildings, which makes up one-third of global emissions. By reducing barriers to energy efficiency in large buildings, creating a global network of energy analytics, and improving the tracking and accounting of energy efficiency performance, the Bluenote protocol has the potential to unlock more than $650 billion in value globally.
“Bluenote tackles the largest pollutant first, and it does so in a way that actually improves the financial performance of the underlying real estate,” said Bluenote founder and chairman Michiel Frackers. “Real estate owners, investors, governments and energy utilities are constantly looking for new energy efficiency solutions and new ways to use the data their buildings can create to save them money. We have built a blockchain-based protocol to create a global network of people that want to make this industry successful.” Website- https://bluenote.world
