Let's talk about Energy
Long since regarded as an unattainable pipedream, the idea of a future powered by renewable energy has always remained just out of reach. Typically, the price of coal and oil power has far undercut the price of renewable sources of energy, including solar, hydroelectric and wind sources.
One of the major issues with this is the pollution that results from the burning of these fossil fuels. When fossil fuels are burned, carbon monoxide and other greenhouse gases are released into the atmosphere, which has several severe consequences for our health and our planet. Greenhouse gases contribute to global warming by locking in heat, this has disastrous effects on several ecosystems on our planet, and causes the oceans to rise due to the melting of the polar ice caps. This not only damages coastal regions but also leads to a warming of the oceans, killing numerous aquatic species.
However, this is just one part of a much larger issue plaguing the planet. The second half of the puzzle comes from pollution. Besides the obvious, quite dramatic that pollution causes extensive damage to the wildlife, oceans and of course us. Pollution due to fumes from coal, gas and oil combustion damages our lungs, and massively increase the risk of asthma and lung cancer.
Besides air pollution, there is another type of pollution that is of increasing concern - trash. Did you know that globally we produce around 2.1 billion tonnes of waste per year? Most of this is shipped abroad to countries like China and India, where it is stored in gaping landfills that damage the natural landscape and wildlife ecosystems.
What if there were a way to solve all of these problems in one fell swoop?
Along Comes 4New
4New looks to reshape the growing problem of waste and turn it into a solution for a different problem - energy. To do this, 4New will take as much as 100,000 tonnes of raw waste per year at each of its waste processing plants, and convert this into clean energy at practically zero cost. 4New claim that their solution is scalable to any size and is capable of supply constant, year-round energy to wherever it is needed, whether that be to the national grid or directly applied to on-site cryptocurrency mining hardware.
Currently, the energy burden of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency mining is extreme. 4New classify it as an environmental disaster - one that can be rectified by combining the benefits of waste to energy with blockchain technology. By producing a blockchain that is fully powered by clean energy, and tokenizing the energy output of the system, 4New hopes to produce a future where blockchain technology is free of the shackles that hold it down, and can truly contribute to a decentralized future!
Outro
Clean energy + Blockchain technology... Isn't that the dream? For decades clean energy has been hailed as the future, and yet so few initiatives are underway to bring it to the masses. Besides this, blockchain technology is widely acknowledged to be a game changer for almost every industry imaginable. The combination of the two looks to make for something truly remarkable if 4New can pull it off.
Following an extraordinary private sale which raised $41M, 4New are currently in the general crowdsale phase of their token sale and are offering a 25% bonus on all investments until the 10th of August.
