Two unproven startups just raised a combined $65 million to test out real-world use cases of blockchain in energy: Grid+ and Power Ledger.Blockchain for energy is starting to get traction, and there's actual money flowing into the space. So what do these companies actually do? In this episode, Shayle Kann talks with Scott Clavenna about the ideas, strategies and risks behind each of these startups. Then we talk about the heady world of ICOs -- initial coin offerings -- and why so much capital is flowing into this market all at once.This is an update to our previous conversation on blockchain and energy.

Blockchain for Energy, Part Deux: Real-World Use Cases

Clean tech, green finance and energy innovation are the three lanes on the road to a successful global energy transition. At the intersection of these lanes is a place where ideas on finance, technology and policy are shared and debated. That intersection is&nbsp;Interchange Recharged.While Sylvia Leyva Martinez, principal analyst at Wood Mackenzie, is on maternity leave, Bridget van Dorsten, a principal analyst on Wood Mackenzie's hydrogen team, will be hosting this podcast, Interchange Recharged. When Bridget is not researching global market dynamics to craft near and long-term forecasts for low-carbon hydrogen and its derivatives she is speaking with visionaries, entrepreneurs, policy-makers and energy analysts to explore the newest developments in renewable technology, explain the ideas on global energy policy that could accelerate the energy transition, and identify new funding and financial models that could solve the biggest challenges we face on the way to net zero.Bridget and her guests bring you data and forecasts on clean technology, climate science, and offer predictions on the build out of utility-scale projects and the future of green finance.What impacts do the annual UN Conference of the Parties have on decarbonisation goals and climate change? What will COP30 bring? What’s happening in global EV adoption and development? What’s the forecast for solar energy, one of the major success stories of renewable energy in the last ten years? What does the data tell us about the future of hydrogen, of nuclear, or of low-carbon power?&nbsp;&nbsp;These are examples of the insights and detailed analyses you can expect bi-weekly on Tuesdays at 7am ET. If you like&nbsp;The Energy Transition Show,&nbsp;Catalyst with Shayle Kann,&nbsp;The Big Switch from Columbia University,&nbsp;Open Circuit with Jigar Shah or&nbsp;The Green Blueprint, you’ll enjoy&nbsp;Interchange Recharged.&nbsp;&nbsp;Want to get involved with the show?
