According to Research and Markets, the global cryptocurrency market was valued at $1.78 trillion in 2021. The market is expected to hit $32.42 trillion by 2027, at a compound annual growth rate of 58.4% over the period.

GENH will maintain 85% ownership of the JV. “This will be a tremendous learning experience for us as we are planning significantly larger projects in the southeastern U.S.” CEO Gary C. Evans commented.
GENH will provide the power source for this first project will ultimately combine hemp-based biofuel and Solar, backed up by the grid. The company is now working to gain Renewable Energy Credits (RECs), these are essentially credits created for every 1 MW/h of clean electricity created. Companies possessing these can either keep or sell them. While GENH will likely initially keep them for this JV, there could be a time in the future when they are purely selling clean energy to other operations.
