Democratising clean energy through digital tokens

Turning solar farms into digital tokens could allow small investors to earn income from renewable energy projects, says ICB Labs.

Tokenisation could unlock sustainable investing for everyday people by dividing ownership of green energy projects into accessible blockchain-based tokens.

Tokenisation can remove barriers to green energy investment, allowing more involvement beyond institutional players, says Mete Al, Co-founder of ICB Labs.

Individuals could invest smaller sums and earn passive income by turning assets like solar farms into fractional digital tokens. It allows them to support renewable energy without owning physical infrastructure.

High costs and trust issues limit access to sustainable projects, but blockchain tools can boost confidence and ensure fair rewards.

ICB Labs is already working on a tokenised solar project for 2026. Al emphasises that strong governance and flexible regulation, including regulatory sandboxes, are essential to support innovation in decentralised climate finance.
