“21st Century problems cannot be solved
with 20th Century solutions”
Volos 3.0 ?
Volos 1.0 – decentralised but disconnected, physical
market presence
Volos 2.0 – centralised and connected, market presence
through intermediaries
Volos 3.0 – decentralised but connected, network
market presence
Volos Economy
Land – Volos as a location or place
Physical – resources embedded in (eg buildings) and
passing to/through (eg solar energy) Volos
Intellectual – people of Volos and intellectual value
created over millennia
Financing & Funding
Financing
- short/medium term credit needed for circulation of
goods & services and creation of productive assets
- people-based credit (P2P) issued by people individually
or jointly (eg Company)
Funding
- long term credit embedded/invested in productive asset
- asset-based (Peer to Asset) credit
Protocols & Prepay
Protocols
- People-based (P2P) Credit – Guarantee Society
- Asset-based Credit – Capital Partnership
Prepay – asset-based credit returnable in payment for
use value over time (utility) of productive asset
Prepay
Tax
Tax Prepay
Tax Prepay – credit returnable in payment of taxes
Tax Return – 'stock' part of tally stick returned to Treasury
Rate of Return - rate over time at which stock is returnable
for cancellation
eg Prepay £8 for £10 tax - £2 profit 25% pa rate of return
- not fixed - depends on existence & quantity of flow
21st Century Prepay
Land – credit returnable in payment for land rental or
production from land
Energy – credit returnable in payment for energy use
Intellect – credit returnable in payment for use of
intellectual property eg knowledge, software, video
Resource Resilience – Natural Grid
Since 1980 Denmark's GDP rose 78%
Energy use has been stable
Carbon fuel use has declined
How did Denmark achieve this?
Resource Resilience - Natural Grid
Least Carbon Fuel Cost principle
- not 'least Danish Krone cost' (or least $, € or £ cost)
- minimum carbon fuel input for a given output of
electricity, heat or power
- investment in renewables, heat, transport, energy
efficiency
Emerging Outcomes of Natural Grid policy
- decentralisation
- skills base of knowledge and knowhow: eg Vestas is
the biggest global wind turbine manufacturer......in a
country of 6m people
- trend to energy security and energy independence
- not forgetting........reduction in carbon use

Land Prepay – Value Proposition
Community
- sells rentals forward and locks in price
- interest-free loan until prepay unit returned vs rental
Occupier
- prepays rental and locks in price
Land Prepay – the Value Proposition
Investor
- direct 'inflation hedge' investment in land
- Occupiers buy prepay credits from Investors at best
price below issue price & return against rental
Manager
- shares in gross rentals or production
- interests aligned with Investor
- no 'Principal/Agency' problem
Land Partnership - Outcomes
Housing as a Service - relationship-based not transactionbased model - costs transformed to revenue shares
Neutral – removes ego and politics
Collaborative - stakeholder interests aligned
Sustainable - all have interest in minimising cost over time

Energy Prepay – Value Proposition
Community
- sells energy forward and locks in price
- interest-free loan until prepay unit returned vs supply
Consumer
- prepays for energy and locks in price
Energy Prepay – the Value Proposition
Investor
- direct 'inflation hedge' investment in energy
- Consumers buy credits from Investors at best price
below physical energy price & return against supply
Manager
- shares in gross revenues or production
- interests aligned with Investor
- no 'Principal/Agency' problem
Energy Partnership - Outcomes
Energy as Service - relationship-based not transactionbased; costs transformed to revenue shares
Neutrality – removes ego and politics
Collaborative - stakeholder interests aligned
Sustainable - all have interest in minimising cost over time
Mega Watts and Negawatts
Mega Watt production of renewable energy sells at the
wholesale market 'bid' price
Nega Watt production is made by consumers at the retail
market price
Uk Green Deal (bank loans to fund energy efficiency
measures) has two problems
- compound interest on bank £ loans
- even if £ is saved, no guarantee energy will be saved
Volos Natural Grid
Investor pays £1k for Units in Volos Energy Pool
- 20 1Mwh prepay Units @ €50 each
- 2000 10 Kwh prepay Units @ 50c each
Fund invests through energy loans eg Volos hydro
power; CHP/co-generation; cooling
Loan repaid via energy bills through buying prepay
energy units at market price
Interest-free loan – return to investor in energy
Unless consumers save energy they will not save €
