Summarized from the State of Green Business Report 2017, GreenBiz Group Inc., January 2017
Look for an increasing trend of “blockchain” emerging technologies supporting sustainability. A sort of digital ledger, a blockchain is a decentralized database that records transactions of almost any type and automatically enforces contracts related to them, based on conditions defined by the participants. It is the technology behind the digital currency bitcoin, and many believe the platform could be widely used in sustainable applications, such as the pricing and selling of distributed energy, and tracking and validating supply chains.
