Call for Participation:

Blockchain and DLT are a disruptive paradigm to enable trustless decentralized verifiable applications. There are an increasing number of applications of blockchain technology to energy systems. For example, micro-payment for peer-to-peer EV charging, microgrid exchange and wholesale energy markets, renewable energy credits and emissions trading, and energy resource sharing and management. Besides their popularity, blockchain platforms (particularly, Bitcoin) suffer from significant energy consumption (overtaking all other areas in the IT sector). In this workshop, we aim to explore the potential applications of blockchain and DLT to energy systems, as well as to address its energy efficiency issue.

This workshop will feature the following keynote speakers:

- Zhao Yang Dong (NTU): Blockchain-enabled Security Systems for Smart Grids
- Ümit Cali (NTNU): DLT Meets Energy - Current & Future Perspectives
- Srinivasan Keshav (Univ. Cambridge): Bringing Trust to Carbon Credits Through Computer Science
- Jos Röling (IBM Consulting): Programmable Energy

There will also be panel discussions of hot topics, such as “Shall we ban Proof-of-Work?”, “Is DLT a practical solution for the energy sector?”
