Energy Web is a global non-profit on a mission to accelerate the energy transition by developing and deploying open-source Web3 technologies that help companies unlock business value from clean and distributed energy resources.
Web3 is a loaded term. Proponents claim it's the future of the internet, critics say it's a solution looking for a problem, or worse.
Regardless of your view, one thing is undeniable: There are few examples of decentralized technologies solving meaningful problems and creating real-world value for users. For Web3 to shake its reputation as nothing but a marketing term, the industry needs to stop making promises about the future and start demonstrating tangible impact.
This is our mission at Energy Web, and we're not alone. Since our founding in 2017 we’ve worked with our community of to identify, test, and validate specific business processes where Web3 technologies provide distinct and material benefits.
We’ve found hundreds of ways not to use blockchain, and a few use cases with huge potential. To realize that potential, we now package multiple Web3 components – including public blockchains, self-sovereign identities, and decentralized architectures– into comprehensive, enterprise-grade solutions that energy companies use to reduce costs, improve efficiency and security, or build entirely new businesses .
Ignore the hype, take pessimism with a grain of salt, and learn how companies are using Web3 to solve business challenges today.
