Energy is central to almost all aspects of modern society and is the key to lasting social and economic development. Energy is at the heart of almost every major challenge as well as nearly every major opportunity the world faces today. Simple access that relies on biomass sources of energy is not good enough. For the almost 3 billion people that the UN reports rely upon traditional biomass for heating and cooking, which includes 1 billion with unreliable electricity and 1.5 billion who have no access to electricity, they are trapped in Energy Poverty. Burning more coal or cutting down more forestland is not the answer.
Clean, affordable, and sustainable modern energy can best be achieved by solutions such as Cenfura. The benefits delivered by deploying Cenfura’s new technology-driven ability to migrate to 100% renewable energy combined using the Cenfura Token to open up energy financing for the non-creditworthy and otherwise un-bankable individuals and communities creates energy access and inclusiveness never before known for much of the world. For those facing Energy Poverty, the Cenfura solution can truly “Rewire the Economics of Renewable Energy” and bring the world closer to the UN goal of universal energy access by 2030.
Where does energy poverty exist and is implementing renewable energy technically feasible in those same areas?
First, let’s look at a map of energy poverty around the world, which is shown below:
Then let us look at a map of solar availability solar availability around the world (total amount of sunlight falling per year):
Examining the above two maps, focusing on the dark red areas of both reveals the interesting fact that plenty of sunlight appears to be available almost everywhere energy poverty is the worst. Without even taking into account the additional potential of wind, it stands to reason that much of the need for introducing reliable clean energy to these areas could be address by implementing a combined solar generation and battery storage solution provided such solution was cost-effective to install and operate, could be run as a community resource using TE principles, did not require attachment to any larger grid, and use a pay-as-you-go blockchain-based method to avoid the issues of traditional banking.
Fortunately Cenfura’s technology and services are a solution that meets all these requirements and more. Indeed, the Cenfura team believes we are at the tipping point of an energy revolution that has the potential to improve the quality of life for many if not most of the world’s most disadvantaged and poor. Cenfura is committed through the Cenfura Inclusion Initiatives to serve those are currently left behind in both the developed world and the developing world, in pursuit of the UN goal of universal energy access by 2030.
