Was anyone else hoping by the title that this would be a company that researches ways to save energy on technology like blockchain?

I am a bit disappointed that it is not.

Actually after doing more reading, I'm not really sure what this is. Landing pages with almost no tangible information are the worst kind.

I was expecting they had solved some sort of Proof-of-Savings. The "without intermediaries based on exact consumption/savings data" sounds more like filling a ledger to resolve a smart contract. How exactly verification achieved is left unanswered.

With grid-energy blockchains there is a tangible good. But decreased power consumption by one metric doesn't assure power is not used off platform. (not to mention the green-ness of any such generation)
