Swiss Alps Energy AG (SAE) is a leading provider of ledger energy and flexible infrastructure and modular operators used for long-term stationary use. Thus, the Swiss Alps, Energy Buildings can be used in Switzerland and use either with Building structures or the surrounding environment.

One of the biggest problems faced by the blockchain industry is the high energy consumption required for cryptocurrency mining. At this time, the estimated annual global mining cost for Bitcoin is just over $ 3 billion and increasing. Regarding electricity consumption, we can compare Bitcoin's world mining operations with countries such as the Republic of Chezch, with more than 10 million people. To find out more about this subject, visit THIS WEBSITE.

Even some cryptocurrencies use other systems, such as Proof-Of-Stake to avoid mining, the largest (Bitcoin and Ethereum) rely on Proof-Of-Work to secure their networks and transactions. Regardless of all the disadvantages, Proof-Of-Work is still the best method for any cryptocurrency, and is expected to remain dominant in the near future. An additional problem with high energy consumption for mining operations is that most of the mining is done in China, and is supported by non-green or renewable energy sources. There are already several projects that aim to change this situation and take an important part of the cryptocurrency mining industry with better mining methods. The most promising projects are currently in the Pre-ICO stage, and this article is an opportunity to get basic information about it and think about investing in their ICO.

After the initial development of SAE infrastructure and business activities in Switzerland, expansion into foreign countries, especially in the field of renewable energy, can be imagined and desired. The ability to use currencies and processes that can help SAE to become an industry leader in business based on blockchain.

Tesla on lithium-ion technology, which has improved significantly over the last few years. Increase lithium-ion batteries that increase significantly along with the old battery life, the same applies to energy density.

On a general scale, battery technology has the advantage of fast installation times for energy fluctuations. However, apart from all this, when it comes to the use of energy storage, there are still some questions. Long term cost and long term battery life are real, in terms of current generation battery.

There is another method to store energy, which is interesting enough to solve this problem. These include the storage and release of energy using mountains as high pressure vessels.

This method is achieved by the Swedish company ALACAES, promising a very low cost and high efficiency.
These methods seek to smooth the fluctuations in electricity production due to the nature of renewable energy sources.
Unpredictable. The methods they are working on are relatively low cost and high efficiency.

How does it work?
This system uses the excess energy of the grid to suppress air into the cavities inside the mountain. Air is cooled using a special technology called heat energy storage. And then stored under pressure in the cavity. When it's time to generate electricity, the air is re-heated and driven to start a turbine that generates electricity.
With this system ALACAES claims more than 72% efficiency at both ends.

To use this technology, geology must be taken into account. It is suitable for use in continental Europe, America, Canada, but especially in India and China.

India and China are well suited for this, as these two markets have a very aggressive goal in providing renewable energy sources to manage their country's infrastructure. By 2027, it aims to provide 60% of its energy sources beyond fossil fuels. Meanwhile, China has reduced its use of coal by 5% year on year and only surpasses the United States as a leader in the use of renewable energy sources.

Why mountain?
Mountains can be used as a container for storing compressed air because of their size and weight.
If you want to store a very large volume of compressed gas, you need a very durable and large container, so geology can be used in an effort to create a natural container.

In 2016, the company completed its first test plant, located in the Swiss Alps. The shape of the plant is 120 meters long and 5 m in diameter with one megawatt-hour tunnel strength.
The Swiss Federal Energy Agency finances 40% of the project, as they can see benefits for their country. Currently this technology is cheaper than lithium-ion batteries.

It's four to six times smaller than a battery per kilowatt-hour. Previously, the same technology was used. The world already has two factories, one of them in Germany. Built in 1979, and the other - in the United States - Alabama, founded in 1991.

They use a salt cave, underground, where air is compressed. However, there are some problems with this.

When the air is compressed, heated, heat must be stored. This heat can reach up to 60% of the energy used to compress the air. Plants are just a waste of this energy, and when the time comes to expand the air, they use fossil fuels to heat it up. Burning fossil fuels causes CO2 emissions and reduces installation efficiency.
The new technology provides the possibility of storing this heat, which can be reused to reheat air.
ALACA is aimed at big institutions as partners for new projects, because it costs about 100 million to 200 million US dollars to build yields of 200 to 500 mW / hour, but the larger the project, the more reasonable and the more it makes value for money.

After the initial development of SAE infrastructure and business activities in Switzerland, expansion into foreign countries, especially in the field of renewable energy, can be imagined and desired. The ability to pay by using crypto currency and the settlement process through smart contracts is another novelty that can help SAE to become an industry leader in the field of blockchain-based business models.
My expectations
Hopefully Swiss Alps Energy can be a successful hydroelectric power plant and can lead the world's first blockchain-based hydroelectric power industry that can compete in the world.
