Peer-to-peer (P2P) energy trading is becoming a reality. P2P electricity trading allows individuals and businesses to produce and trade their own solar energy (local, rooftop). This makes local renewable energy more accessible. Would you like to know more? Please follow the course.
 
Are you ready to explore blockchain further by focusing on energy sharing and trade? The Interreg Euregio Meuse-Rhine Blockchain4Prosumers (BC4P) project is providing such an opportunity.
 
Open Universiteit, together with other BC4P project partners (Zuyd Hogeschool, Cap Construction, Howest Hogeschool, Hogeschool PXL, Liege University, FH Aachen, Climate Cities and TIORC), has developed a course on Blockchain4Prosumers.

Description
 
The whole course consists of three "modules" with different levels of difficulty. The Modules can be taken progressively or independently. For example, if you are already familiar with the concept of Blockchain and would like to dive deeper into its applications for energy trading, you could skip Module 1 and start with Module 2 or 3, depending on your interests. We recommend starting with Module 1 and completing the entire course.
 
  • Module 1: Energy trading through blockchain technology: on your way to become a prosumer
  • Module 2: Enterprise and energy trading through blockchain technology: vision and practical guide
  • Module 3: The developers’ essentials on energy trading through blockchain technology
 
Content
 
The course offers theoretical video lectures spiced up with real examples from the project pilot sites. For enthusiastic and advanced learners, the course provides additional reading materials, developed within the project.
