Électricité de France (EDF) completed a proof of concept (PoC) using the public Hedera DLT to automate renewable energy certificates (RECs). Many electric vehicle (EV) drivers want to ensure the power used to recharge their cars is renewable. They can buy RECs and then redeem the RECs at the EV charging station. The automated redemption of tokenized RECs was trialed at EDF’s MASERA Microgrid demonstrator in Singapore.
In addition to redeeming the RECs, the PoC also collected data from solar panels, generators, and energy storage systems to measure the rate of green energy production put into the microgrid. This was then cross checked with the EV charging consumption to ensure the green energy usage matched.
“With our expertise in renewable energy and electrical vehicle charging, EDF is the ideal partner for this collaboration,” said Edouard Lavillonniere, Managing Director at EDF Lab Asia Pacific. “Our commitment to sustainability aligns perfectly with the vision of a greener future enabled by DLT. We believe this collaboration will drive positive change in the renewable energy sector.
