A Decentralized  Incentive Compatible Financing Model for Reducing Demand-Side Carbon Emissions

Abstract:

This paper suggests a model for optimizing carbon footprints one person at a time through the decentralization of electricity use. Our model describes steps involved with developing a decentralized system considering electricity as a “credit product.” The model, involved with familiar societal financial systems’ rules and routines, is proposed for achieving a resilient, sustainable, and prosperous future. The proposed model calls for creating a dynamic society (as a system) that can be efficiently adopted to take on challenges threatening the function, survival, and future developments of the societies.
