What the paper says

This article examines the utilization of energy as a community currency, elucidating a structured framework designed to address energy accessibility, energy efficiency, the need for a cleaner energy mix, the inherent dichotomy between economy and ecology, socio-economic inequality, poverty alleviation, alternative mechanisms for climate financing, and the establishment of inclusive pathways for wealth generation. This article advances an evaluative framework for assessing the merits of employing energy as a community currency compared to conventional climate financing options and community electrification initiatives. It positions energy as a community currency from the perspectives of the prevailing fractional banking systems, alternative currencies, climate finance options, and conventional community electrification programs.
