Net Zero Real World Assets and Blocksquare Join Forces for Game-Changing Tokenization of Green Energy and Real Estate Projects

This collaboration aims to democratize access to investments in groundbreaking renewable energy and real estate projects, leveraging blockchain technology to drive transparency, accessibility, and sustainability.

A Visionary Collaboration for Sustainability

Net Zero RWA, known for its ambitious renewable energy and sustainable infrastructure projects, has set its sights on revolutionizing green energy production and urban development in South Africa. At the heart of this initiative are three interconnected projects:

• A Sustainable City - EcoVision Velddrif: Spanning 2,700 hectares, this future-forward urban development will host residential, commercial, and industrial zones alongside modern amenities like beachfront properties, hotels, and even a university campus.

• Renewable Energy Farms - KTE.energy: An expansive 85,000-hectare site dedicated to solar and wind energy production, supported by one of the highest sun radiation levels globally and consistent wind conditions. These farms will enable 24/7 green energy production at record-low costs.

• Green Hydrogen, Ammonia, Water and other green Fuels Production and Export: Using the renewable energy generated on-site, Net Zero RWA plans to produce green hydrogen, Ammonia and others positioning South Africa as a leader in the global shift to sustainable fuels.

Why Tokenization?

Tokenization—the process of converting physical assets into digital tokens—offers a transformative approach to real estate and energy investments. By leveraging Blocksquare's cutting-edge protocol, Net Zero ensures that investments in their projects are both secure and accessible. Here's why this is a game-changer:

• Transparency and Security: Blocksquare's blockchain-based solutions provide a secure framework where tokens are directly collateralized by real-world assets, ensuring legitimacy and reducing risks of fraud.
• Democratized Access: Historically, large-scale projects like these have been restricted to institutional investors or government-backed entities. Through tokenization, Net Zero opens the doors to private investors worldwide, allowing even small-scale stakeholders to participate in impactful projects.
• Flexibility in Investment: Investors can purchase tokens representing a fractional share of assets, such as solar panels, wind turbines, or even residential units within the sustainable city. This flexibility caters to varying investment capacities.

Strategic Infrastructure Meets Global Demand

Net Zero’s projects are strategically located in South Africa's Northern Cape, a region celebrated for its optimal conditions for renewable energy. EcoVision positioned 130-150 kilometers and KTE. energy 500 kilometers from Cape Town, these sites benefit from government support and integration into South Africa's master plan for achieving net-zero emissions. Notably, Net Zero RWA‘s classification as a Strategic Infrastructure Project ensures regulatory backing and expedited development processes. This milestone highlights the critical importance of these projects in addressing South Africa’s energy and water challenges while fostering economic growth through sustainable practices.

Economic and Environmental Impacts

By producing solar energy at an unprecedented production cost of 1.5 cents per kilowatt-hour and energy mix out of wind, solar and storage of under 5.0 cents - far below the national average - Net Zero RWA offers a viable solution to South Africa’s energy crisis. The green hydrogen produced on-site will not only serve local industries, such as steel and fertilizer production but also cater to a growing international demand for sustainable energy exports.

EcoVision, the sustainable city component, further enhances the project's impact by creating residential, educational, and commercial opportunities for over 150,000 people. This comprehensive approach ensures long-term benefits for the local economy while aligning with global sustainability goals.

Blocksquare: The Technology Backbone
