#105 Blockchain-powered peer-to-peer energy trading: Advancing sustainability and affordability in smart residential communities
This project explores how blockchain technology can enable direct energy trading between
households and buildings, aligning with the Industry 4.0 vision of creating smart, interconnected,
and sustainable living environments. By leveraging blockchain’s decentralised and transparent
features, the project aims to enhance housing affordability and optimise energy usage. This
innovative approach will help reduce energy costs, ensure transparent transactions, and promote
the adoption of renewable energy sources, ultimately contributing to more sustainable and efficient
communities.
