The potential for STRATO to better the industry extends far beyond asset-tracking and data provision. It applies to peer-to-peer energy trading, land leasing in relation to oil and gas fields, wholesale energy distribution, insurance against natural disasters, integration with “smart grids,” and more. Any of these solutions carry significant positive financial impact, driving efficiency and eliminating waste.

“The addition of John Chappell reinforces BlockApps’ strategic commitment to the energy sector. His deep industry experience combined with his strong vision for the sector’s future greatly accelerates the speed and efficiency of innovation in the industry.” – Kieren James-Lubin, CEO, BlockApps
