Geno was born and raised in the Philippines where electricity infrastructure is unreliable and grid blackouts are frequent – especially during typhoons, heatwaves, and other extreme weather events. Geno relocated to Canada in 2020, seeking to build a tool to fund on-site clean energy systems for homes and schools in the Philippines. In order to do this, he cofounded Re(source) Energy, a novel decentralized emission offset platform that aims to enhance energy independence and resilience by deploying solar power systems in homes and communities to eliminate electricity emissions. Geno’s mission is rooted in empowering individuals, driven by an intrinsic desire to overcome life’s challenges, and his goal is to provide communities with the power to adapt to everchanging environments. https://newo.energy/2023/08/04/get-to-know-gino/
