About
All conventional approaches to cope with the climate crisis (like politics, subsidies, taxes, certificates) can not close the gap to reach the Paris Agreement in time. We need a new solution, a commercial approach.
That is where Peer-Energy AG with its PEP Crowd-Invest solution steps in. PEP fights climate change from the bottom up, from the people, with a unique commercially oriented system that only knows winners. First time in history, PEP works with the full price to treat CO2 emissions ($173.50 per t CO2) for the whole damage caused by purchased goods, travel, events etc in daily life. Be aware that the treatment is only 0.5% of the purchase price (e.g. Rolex € 10’000, PEP € 500 or earphone € 150, PEP € 0.75).
The treatment of CO2 with the PEP Crowd-Invest business case is a two-legged thing. One is to massively reduce CO2 emissions with industrial CO2 certificates (EUA, 15% of PEP) and the other is to remarkably accelerate the energy transition with micro crowd-investments in renewables (85% of PEP) at best conditions.
The PEP Participants treat CO2 shared with industrial partners (e.g. luxury goods, insurance, tourism, events) or standalone. All investments are peer-to-peer into projects of the industrial partner or third-party projects.
The PEP team consists of both experienced professionals and young people who are up to date with the latest scientific developments. An outstandingly well-staffed Board of Directors handles all strategic issues with high competence.
The finance plan shows the revenue generated from PEP Crowd-Invest will exceed EUR 100 million per year in 2024. By this time, PEP has over 5 million paying customers and 10 million in the community. Break-even will be reached by 2022.
The PEP-Platform, based on Blockchain technology with high throughput capabilities, is performing the CO2 offsets of the participants save a fast.
Each PEP-Customer has pre-paid for his CO2 offsets. A transaction covers in two parts - the offset with official CO2-certificates and a loan granted to the foundation. The foundation has the only goal, to accelerate the energy transformation on behalf of the investing parties via financing more and more renewable production projects to replace fossil fuels by renewables as fast as possible.
