Question: Can you recommend a decentralized technology solution that enables businesses to create and deploy sustainable energy workflows?

If you're looking for a decentralized technology foundation to build and run sustainable energy workflows, Energy Web is a good example of an all-purpose platform. It's got a range of tools and services, including SmartFlow, a no-code workflow builder, and GP4EV for electric vehicle charging events. Energy Web has worked with big names like PayPal, Shell and Volkswagen to advance sustainability and transparency in areas like electric vehicles and Bitcoin mining. The company hopes its platform will help automate and simplify sustainability reporting, and that's a good thing for the planet.

Another good choice is Electricity Maps, which offers electricity carbon data that businesses can use to reduce their carbon footprint. It offers real-time, historical and forecasted data for more than 230 regions, so you can make decisions about energy use. With a powerful API for easy integration and detailed data analysis, Electricity Maps can be used for consumer engagement, carbon reporting and energy management. That means customers can engage more, use energy more wisely and report better.

If you're in the mining business, Hiveon offers a range of tools to optimize and control High-Performance Computing (HPC) operations. That includes firmware management, AI-predicted maintenance and remote monitoring to keep operations running and losses to a minimum. Hiveon also focuses on sustainable energy, including demand response, methane-to-compute conversion and stranded energy use. That could be useful for mining operations that want to be more environmentally responsible.

Last, Telematica offers an energy management platform that links a wide range of devices like electric vehicles, chargers and solar inverters. With smart tools for utilities and retail energy providers, Telematica can help optimize grid performance, improve customer satisfaction and reduce energy costs. Its long list of integrations means it works with lots of devices, so businesses can get a big energy savings while working on sustainability.
