Abstract

Recently, the use of renewable energy has been promoted to decarbonise the world. Renewable energy certificates are issued to prove the authenticity of source of renewable energy. However, it is not easy to deal with this system because of security and privacy issues caused in the process amongst stakeholders. We analyse plausible security and privacy issues caused in related ICT systems and then propose a renewable electricity certificate to be issued in a decentralised manner using smart meters and a blockchain.
