SolarGrid Ethiopia: Rural Solar Microgrids

Many remote communities in Ethiopia suffer from limited access to reliable electricity, relying heavily on diesel generators that are costly and environmentally damaging. This project develops small-scale solar microgrids to provide clean, affordable, and reliable energy to households and local businesses, reducing dependency on non-renewable energy sources.

Energy system based on the use of renewable resources of the World Ocean

Energy largely determines the level of development of any society. Energy development is conditioned by the needs of the economy and the desire to improve the quality of life in the face of a steady increase in the population of the Earth. At the same time, it is the energy sector that is mainly responsible for the negative changes in the planet's ecosystem. Comparison of the amount of energy currently produced by mankind with the magnitude of the energy flows characteristic of natural phenomena shows that the power of both energy sources become commensurate. In recent years, the understanding has become undeniable that the more energy is produced by burning fossil fuels, the higher the price has to be paid for maintaining the conditions in the environment necessary for a healthy and fulfilling life. The intensive use of fuel-burning technologies in the energy sector is accompanied by pollution, the greenhouse effect and climate warming, leading to irreversible degradation of the Earth's biosphere. It is clear that it is most reasonable to solve energy problems in close connection with environmental ones by using environmentally friendly energy production technologies based on renewable energy resources. In many regions and countries, these problems can be largely solved by using the wave and water resources of the World Ocean. Sea waves capable of developing the highest specific power for renewable sources are a very promising energy carrier. The wave power of the World Ocean, available for utilization, is estimated at about 5 terawatts, which can double the production of electricity on the planet. The use of hydrogen as an environmentally safe source and energy storage is also a very urgent task, because. hydrogen can replace any type of fuel in various industries, energy and transport. The complex, consisting of the Wave Power Plant, a plant for the electrolysis production of Hydrogen and Oxygen from sea water, energy storage devices and consumers, is an environmentally safe energy industrial system. In fact, the functioning of such a system links the processes occurring in nature into a single cycle with the processes of production and economic use of energy without disturbing the natural energy balance. Our project is dedicated to the creation of components of an environmentally friendly energy system based on the use of renewable energy resources of the World Ocean, consisting of a highly efficient installation for converting the energy of sea waves into electricity and a plant for the electrolysis production of hydrogen from sea water.

A Blockchain-Based Tokenization Framework for Financial Institutions using Compliance by Design

I strongly believe that, in order to bridge the gap between blockchain technology and existing traditional financial systems, tokenization should be brought into the regulated financial world without immediate or significant regulatory adjustments. The financial industry is under pressure to modernize asset management systems while adhering to regulations, notably for regulated debt products like CCBs. Financial organizations exploring blockchain-based tokenization face many regulatory restrictions for these assets. Institutions want to integrate tokenization into the regulated financial ecosystem without urgently changing legislation to accommodate new technology. The solution was created with user experience in mind to help financial institution leaders and teams design and implement smart contracts for regulated assets. The system integrates complex regulatory criteria into smart contracts for various regulated instruments. The technology lets financial institution executives and their teams construct smart contracts for regulated financial assets using simple tools, like drag and drop building blocks. Tokenization is smoothly integrated into the financial system's regulatory framework with this technique.

Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage Projects for BRICS

The main problem targeted by the Carbon Capture project is the excessive level of CO2 in the atmosphere, which contributes to global climate change. To achieve "carbon neutrality" by 2050 and limit the temperature increase to about 1.5-2 degrees Celsius, we need to reduce emissions by 50% by 2030. Calculations show that within 6 years, to meet the goals of the PARIS AGREEMENT, we need to halve our emissions. This equates to approximately 7% per year, which is nearly impossible using known energy-saving methods or even modern energy transition technologies. The most ambitious plans aim for carbon neutrality by 2050, but only for the most developed or very small countries. The solution involves Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology, which removes CO2 from the air and either stores it or uses it for industrial purposes. This system is scalable and modular, allowing it to be produced, upgraded, and deployed in various climate conditions with minimal costs.
