Episode 155 - Plural Energy - Changing the flow of money into renewable energy projects with blockchain

Crypto Altruists: Real-World Stories of Social & Environmental Impact with Web3

In episode 155, we’re excited to welcome Adam Silver, Co-Founder & CEO of Plural Energy, an organization dedicated to making the financing of renewable energy better, faster, cheaper, and accessible to all. We discuss some of the challenges in renewable energy markets, how blockchain is revolutionizing climate finance, onboarding projects and investors to Web3, and much more.

--Three Key Takeaways--

• To achieve a net-zero future, we need to change the way money flows into climate finance and improve the accessibility of climate friendly investments. By leveraging Web3 primitives to connect retail investors directly to climate investments, it gives the average individual more of an opportunity to support the renewable energy transition while creating new financing opportunities for small projects.
• There are too many intermediaries between retail investors and climate investments. Blockchain can help retail investors more directly invest in projects without having to go through so many intermediaries, bringing them closer to the impact while decreasing investment fees.
• When onboarding projects to Web3, it’s important to lead with the benefits and value of the technology, rather than the intricacies of the technology itself. It’s also important to align Web3 and traditional technologies to make the onboarding process seamless.
