About the session
After having attracted huge investment and the attention of the whole financial industry with the birth of relevant Start-ups and consortia, blockchain is becoming one of the most discussed topics in the energy industry. What, however, is the actual innovation behind the buzzword? Will we see an energy blockchain consortium arise in the future as has happened in banking? Many use cases have been proposed by start-ups which threaten incumbents of the energy sector with the spectrum of “disintermediation” like P2P energy exchange. How could the principles behind electronic cash be implemented in a framework where transactions involve physical assets? Many opinion makers see a great potential in blockchain but still its real value for the energy industry has to be proven.
In this panel we will discuss with some of the most active players in this field how to develop valuable proof of concepts and which applications of blockchain could be the most promising in the energy industry.
