Energy is the lifeblood of modern civilization and the core battleground of climate negotiations. Around the world, everyone is rushing toward carbon neutrality, but we face an awkward physical fact: electrons are indistinguishable.



Imagine this scenario—"green electricity" from wind power in Inner Mongolia and "black electricity" from coal-fired power plants in Shanxi are both fed into the national grid at the same time, instantly blending into a mess, like a drop of water falling into the ocean. The electricity flowing through your home socket cannot be traced back to any specific source by any instrument. This physically untraceable loophole has given rise to a massive "greenwashing" industry—companies buy cheap thermal power and then rely on purchasing false or double-counted REC (Renewable Energy Certificates) to package their ESG ratings. The books are completely disconnected from reality, leading to a green financial market worth trillions of dollars built on sand.

To break this fraud game, each electron needs an "ID card." It sounds like a fairy tale, but the energy IoT verification system built by APRO makes this a reality.

APRO's approach is unusual—it no longer relies on monthly reports from power plants but directly connects to the physical endpoints of power generation. In distributed photovoltaic stations, each solar panel's inverter is embedded with a lightweight verification node. These nodes collect data on power generation, voltage fluctuations, and sunlight intensity every few seconds...

It's just another greenwashing trick, I've seen it all before. Fake green or real green, it all goes into the national grid, who the hell can tell the difference? The Internet of Energy sounds good, but the REC system is essentially a financial game. Is the APRO inverter verification reliable? Or is it just another rebranded product? Photovoltaic panels with ID cards, sounds like they're writing stories on the blockchain. Electronics themselves don't matter; the only difference is money. Burning money for verification—who will bear the cost? Giving electronic IDs to electronics? Well, now that's real tokenized infrastructure. The size of the greenwashing industry shows how虚 ESG ratings are. Tens of trillions built on sand—this isn't the first time we've seen such a thing.

Damn, this "greenwashing" industry is really outrageous. Tens of trillions of dollars just vanish into thin air? The REC certificate trick should have been exposed long ago. Is it really so easy to fake the ledger? Giving electronic IDs to devices... sounds fancy, but can it really trace everything back to the source? This is why on-chain verification is so crucial. Who would trust centralized reports? Green and black electricity mixed together—who the hell knows what they're actually using? APRO's physical verification system, if it can really be implemented, would be a win. But will energy giants allow it? Come on, in the end, it still has to rely on the blockchain for proof of existence.

It's the same "greenwashing" story again; I'm already tired of this trick. This wave of APRO's idea is actually fresh—giving electronic ID cards? Sounds a bit crazy. Trillions built on sand, does no one care or are they all pretending not to see? Photovoltaic inverter planting verification nodes... If it can truly be traced back, how would companies operate? Always feel like it's another idealistic technical solution; whether it can be grounded in reality remains to be seen.

It's the same old "greenwashing" trick again; companies are playing it slick.

Green energy washing, this trick is really impressive; as long as the ledger numbers look good, it's all good.

Wow, this greenwashing industry is really outrageous. Are tens of trillions of dollars just being brushed off like that?
