The document discusses how distributed ledger technology (DLT) can help enable a more sustainable and green energy future through the creation of a "Green-DLT". Specifically: 1) The Green-DLT would serve as the trust layer of the digital energy economy and help empower sustainable commercial opportunities through the development of decentralized applications running on an enterprise-grade network. 2) Hedera Hashgraph is highlighted as particularly well-suited to serve as the network for the Green-DLT due to its speed, low cost, security, stability, and significantly lower energy usage compared to other networks like Bitcoin and Ethereum. 3) Examples provided of how the Green-DLT could help support renewable energy microgrids, carbon tracking
