Rowan Blockchain is the world's first community-supported green energy blockchain. Based on the low-powered POG (Proof-Of-Generation) consensus mechanism. Rather than utilising traditional energy-hungry mining, Rowan requires a SmartMiner owner to have generated renewable energy to validate transactions on our chain. We have built a series of Energy focused apps that bring the Energy Market into the 21st Century, decentralising and digitising a traditionally archaic industry.
Using our custom-built Proof of Generation (POG) blockchain, we can deliver a fast, low-powered chain mostly powered by solar energy. Our users support blockchain using our custom-built Rowan SmartMiner. The Rowan SmartMiner counts the energy produced in the home and validates transactions on the blockchain.
The Rowan Blockchain is ideal for hosting Rowan's decentralised applications (DApps) that are energy-focused. The chain can validate 219 transactions per second. The applications have many uses, from peer-to-peer energy transactions to Rowan Energy's rewards-based platforms.
Rowan Energy already monitors more than 1.5MW of solar - with deals signed that will push that to well over 100MW in 2024.
Rowan Energy currently monitors more than 1.5MW of solar throughout the UK. Rowan has been rewarding these solar owners for more than three years. As a solar owner, you can install a SmartMiner on your property. A SmartMiner is a Smart Meter and a Rowan Blockchain validation server in one. The SmartMiner counts the energy your roof produces while simultaneously validating transactions and minting NFT carbon offset certificates. Rowan Rewards customers earn 10p worth of Rowan Rewards for every 1kWh of energy produced by their roof. Rowan Rewards customers can withdrawal their Rowan Rewards via PayPal or direct to their bank account.
Rowan has built an automated energy trading platform that enables rooftop solar owners to sell their energy to their neighbours peer-to-peer. The platform is fully automated and runs without any intervention or user input. It matches supply to demand, instantly transferring tokens from consumers to prosumers. SmartMiner readings place buys and sell on a virtual market, pairing up trading partners based on location. The platform has many other features, including real-time energy source notification where you can see where your energy is going or where the energy you are using comes from. Energy can also be stored on-site in a battery and discharged when another Rowan Energy customer needs the energy.
Tracking the energy source within utilities is an important part of what is needed. By utilising features on SmartMiners we can record the production of the energy reporting details of where, how and when the energy was produced. This enables users to see where and how their energy is being generated in real-time. This eliminates the need for guarantee of origin certificates.
