Achieve the required level of water treatment at a fraction of the footprint, investment, and operating cost – usually without the use of chemicals.
Infuse water, ice, and air with ozone that sterilizes in multiple applications in the food industry (seafood, meat products, fruits and vegetables), and prolong shelf life.
Usable water directly from nearly any source to communities that need clean water for citizens, animals and crops.
Portable, potable water supplies from any water source to municipalities in an emergency or disaster situations.
Most oil and gas operators dispose of flow-back and produced water in disposal wells. Our low-cost technology can be used to treat the water for reuse or environmentally friendly release.

Clean Water Coin

The Clean Water Coin was created specifically to help fund the work of the NGO Charity:Water.

So far Cleanwater coin, has raised over $2,000 through the “mining” and sales of the Clean Water Coin.

GIVE TO CHARITY + SAVE LIVES BY MINING + USING CLEAN WATER COIN
We’ve built a unique function into the coin network so that everyone who mines or even uses Clean Water Coin will be helping save lives around the world. Every transaction will donate 0.1% of that transaction to the Charity Wallet, here’s an example: I’ve mined 1,000 Clean Water Coins and I request a manual payout from my pool. As a result of this transaction 1 coin will be donated to the Charity Wallet and the remaining 999 is sent to my wallet.

THE CHARITY WALLET
All donations will go to the Charity Wallet and from there will go to CharityWater.org. To prevent flooding our own market with donated coins we will set a recurring schedule to exchange to BTC, this will help to prevent large sums building up over extended periods of time and exchanging all at once. We will also offer the community the ability to purchase Clean Water Coins from the Charity Wallet. Pricing will be established from a market average and the amount of coins available will depend on total donations to the Charity Wallet. More details regarding this feature are soon to come!

ADDING VALUE TO CLEAN WATER COIN
We recognize that there are many factors that go into the valuation of a coin. Some of those things we can attempt to control and affect, but others rely on the community, exchanges, and the industry. So rather than only relying on trading and exchanges to dictate pricing, we’ve gone to great lengths to add value to holding and using Clean Water Coin.

Sustainability International

Sustainability International is a U.S.-based nonprofit that provides innovative solutions to complex sustainability and conservation issues in the developing world. Sustainability International empowers communities to alleviate corruption and poverty.

It leverages breakthrough technologies, such as blockchain and virtual reality, to address the world’s toughest environmental and economic challenges. SI believes that transparency and economic inclusion will bring the billions of people living in the shadows of society into the forefront.

Sustainability International’s current large-scale initiative hopes to revitalize the region through its Clean Up Niger Delta Project.

How Blockchain Technology is Helping to Clean the Niger River
Ogoniland, situated off the coast of the Gulf of Guinea in southeastern Nigeria, is considered the most polluted region along the Niger Delta and among the worst in the world.

There has never been a cleanup of the oil spills in the Niger Delta, culminating in 50 years of neglect and lack of accountability among oil and gas companies, wealthy elites and the government. Consequently, as sentiment is changing toward solving the problem, all the parties – the government, oil companies and the community – no longer trust each other.

This presented the opportunity to experiment with the blockchain at the community level.

SI is currently incubating Sela, an enterprise blockchain payments platform that reverses the havoc that systemic corruption has wreaked on the value of hard work and reputation.

The Water Project

The Water Project, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization unlocking human potential by providing reliable water projects to communities in sub-Saharan Africa who suffer needlessly from a lack of access to clean water and proper sanitation.

For ten years, we have been helping communities gain access to clean, safe water by providing training, expertise and financial support for water project construction through our staff and implementing partners.

The Water Project now accepts many payment methods including bitcoin for donations. Small donations through traditional services such as PayPal and Square may incur a significant transaction fee (relative to the donation). Using a cryptocurrency such as bitcoin allows the donor to transfer money direct to the organization without the use of any financial intermediary, thus reducing transaction fees (Note: miner’s fees still apply).

DONATE BITCOIN
Give the gift of clean, safe water in a whole new way.

Blockchain Labs for Open Collaboration, provides digital solutions for secure and accessible critical infrastructure that bridge the digital and the physical divide and solve for global challenges. We believe in a systemic approach to building technology, that this development cannot be done in isolation and that solutions will be built upon a range of different technologies combined to deliver real-world value.

Our area of specialisation is in framing problems and connecting the relevant stakeholders across the value chain to develop solutions through collaboratively and leanly prototyping and validating blockchain applications.

Our applications are built together with our distributed community of producers, industry partners, and technology providers that have come together under the collective ambition of solving for the problems that undermine the core of trust and inclusivity in society.
