The trial for the aforementioned project is also conducted together with Riddle & Code: the companies are testing an electric vehicle charging station with integrated secure machine identity in Vienna. Austrian power supplier Wien Energie has partnered with Bosch to develop the world's first refrigerator controlled by blockchain, aiming to expand consumer interest in energy consumption. In a model unveiled at this year's Blockchain Summit in Vienna, the technology allows consumers to choose which form of renewable energy powers their fridge, allowing owners to trace where their energy originates. The new refrigerator, called Evian, is designed for use as part of an integrated smart grid that will allow customers and businesses to control how much electricity they consume.
