Energy is developing blockchain based innovations to revolutionize how energy can be generated, stored, bought, sold and used, all at the local level.
INTRODUCTION
TO BUNKER ENERGY COIN ™
From Brooklyn to Bangladesh, the new energy
consumer wants comfort, security, a more engaging
relationship, and a promising future for energy
production. A democratized energy marketplace is
the only way to achieve this promise, and the BunkerG
project team, part of Americans Energy, has developed a
key piece of this paradigm shift. With BunkerG, we are
reimagining the customer’s role in, and access to,
increasingly open and competitive electricity markets.
In the Electric Power Technical Whitepaper, we define transactive energy and why it is linked
to the physical concept of “exergy,” or the portion of energy available for useful work in our
economies. That paper defines and describes the value domains and technical attributes
required for transactive energy in the multi-party electric power system emerging today. It
introduces the idea that we should not consider kWh as the sole attribute of energy service,
when equally crucial is where, how and when that kWh was generated for use. As grid edge
energy solutions are adopted, the paper describes how a transactive energy marketplace
optimizes for lowest cost, lowest carbon, and more resilient networks supported by consumers,
new energy service providers and system operators alike.
