Energy Web Foundation (EWF) is leveragingblockchain to enable and accelerate the globalclean energy transitionEWF’smissionEnabling and accelerating the transition to a democratized,decentralized, decarbonized, and digitized electricity grid. EWFachieves this by creating the virtual infrastructure—a shared digital DNAfor the global energy industry—that serves as its foundation.Pillars ofEWF’sworkCoreTechnologyDeveloping ahigh performingcore blockchaintechnology fitfor ating, andincubating adiverseecosystem insupport of thetechnologyRegulatoryEngagementEducating andengaging withregulators onSupporting EWFAffiliates tolaunch earlyapplications andspur marketgrowth8

EWF is accelerating the development of the mostvaluable blockchain-based energy sector dAppsEWF’s ecosystem has prioritized these five application domains:Certificates of originDemand responseTransactiveenergyUtility billingElectric vehicles9

EWF is developing the open-source Energy WebOrigin dApp for certificate of origin marketsThe first 5 simulated transactions—involving real companies, with realphysical assets, and actual, real-time generation and consumptiondata, but no financial transfer—illustrate its current capabilitiesUse scenarioGreen attributeownership transferbased on demand ofbuyerConsumption-basedownership transferTracking battery offtake vs. injectionGeneratorBuyerEngieMicrosoftSP GroupDBSTWLE.ONGerman householdsEWF Berlin officeSonnenSonnen1010
