The negative\neffects of intensively using these carbon-emitting fuels on the users' health and on the climate\nneed to be addressed.\n\nWe have already established, inarguably, that the climate change crisis is one of the most\ndefining issues of our generation and we need all hands on deck if we're going to get anywhere\nclose to the net-zero future goal and get on track to reaching the targets set in the Paris\nAgreement.\n\nOur Solution: Solar-Powered Smart Mobile Power Distribution\nDubbed 'Lipa ukisonga', Swahili for Pay-as-you-go is a\nprogramme designed to transform e-mobility and energy\ndistribution by offering affordable clean energy to off-grid markets through innovative energy distribution solutions;\nwith no consumer debt to the customers, moving us closer to\nthe net zero future goal.\n\nFor  our battery charging and distribution model, we leverage\nemerging technologies (Blockchain and Internet of Things) to\nmake the system efficient, secure, and transparent.\nAt the intersection of the Blockchain and IoT technologies, we\nintend to use the Helium Network (a globally decentralized peer-to-peer LoRaWAN network) for efficient management of our\nsystems and tracking and ensuring safety of our assets.\n\n600 million inhabitants in the\nSub-Saharan Africa, 18 million being from Kenya, do\nnot have access to electricity. Over-reliance on\ncarbon-emitting fuels is:\nexpensive\nharmful to their health\nworsening the climate change crisis\nCommunities live below the global poverty line and thus\nthe installation of solar photovoltaic systems is cost-prohibitive.\nWe seek to provide an easily accessible and affordable energy \n\n\n", "logoImgData": {}, "bannerImgData": {}, "projectTwitter": "BrighteEnergies"}
