I have to agree with @kawin's review that Rowan Token (RWN) is very cool. If people can measure their solar production, store it in an NFT and sell it to carbon credit clients, it can make solar power more profitable.
Here's a few questions I have before I'd give it 5 stars:
- For this to really make sense, carbon credit customers have to be able to use the NFTs to get their carbon credits with relevant government agencies. Is that already the case? Are there already big corporations buying up these NFTs? (my brief research showed that this may not yet be the case. Image 2).
- is this service limited to the UK? What are the challenges in going abroad?
- I would love to see a chart showing adoption over time.
Here's a summary of Rowan's key features:
SmartMiner: This device functions as both a smart meter and blockchain validator, allowing households to earn Rowan Rewards for generating solar energy. It also mints NFT-based carbon offset certificates.
Decentralized Energy Trading: Rowan Energy allows solar energy producers to sell excess energy directly to their neighbors.
Solar Cashback Program: In partnership with ESE Group, Rowan Energy offers solar households monetary rewards for their energy generation, rather than just credits. Participants can earn 10p per kWh, which translates to significant annual rewards (Rowan Blockchain) (CoinGape). Show Less
