The energy market and the needs of consumers are changing constantly. Smart solutions and applications have become an indispensable part of that market. The ETIBLOGG (Energy Trading vIa Blockchain-Technology in the LOcal Green Grid) Project aims to develop blockchain-based solutions to make trading with even the smallest amounts of energy more efficient and faster.

On 1 April 2018, a consortium of twelve partners from industry and research received a support mandate by the German Ministry for Economy and Energy (Bundesministerium für Wirtschaft und Energie = BMWi) as part of the technology support program “Smart Service Welt II” for this and several other application cases.

As part of the consortium, ESMT Berlin is analyzing new, Blockchain-based business models in the energy sector. Interviews are conducted with representatives of leading companies and startups that have already gained initial experience with the implementation of Blockchain technology at this early stage, including individual apps and open platforms.

ETIBLOGG is being funded for three years, from April 1, 2018, to March 31, 2021.
