Proof of Energy (PoE) is an open-source blockchain protocol developed to enable the certification and tokenization of renewable energy in order to ensure that blockchain and distributed ledger technologies (DLTs) are powered exclusively by green energy sources. The project responds to the growing need for sustainable blockchain infrastructure, offering a verifiable way to track energy origin and eliminate the carbon footprint of digital networks.

By connecting real-world renewable energy systems—such as photovoltaic installations—with blockchain smart contracts and energy oracles, PoE allows energy producers to create digital tokens representing green energy units. These tokens can then be used by blockchain applications to prove and offset their energy consumption.

The platform will also incorporate automated on-chain payments using stablecoins, promoting transparency and traceability in energy-related financial flows. PoE is fully compliant with European standards, including MiCA and GDPR, and follows a modular and interoperable architecture designed for compatibility with EVM networks like Alastria and Polygon.

The project will be validated through a pilot in a real-world solar energy setting, involving users, including both producers and consumers. The goal is to deliver a scalable, user-friendly, and replicable solution that enables any blockchain network or application to prove its use of green energy.

Proof of Energy contributes to the digital and ecological transition by promoting a clean, transparent, and inclusive approach to energy use in Web3 ecosystems. It supports European sustainability goals and positions the region as a pioneer in climate-responsible blockchain innovation.
