The Bitcoin mining industry has risen steadily in the past few years thanks to the widespread adoption and increasing interest in the Bitcoin blockchain.

It’s no news that Bitcoin mining is now a big industry on its own, with some mining firms even <\/span>contributing to the economy and grid<\/span><\/a> of their locations.

The issue of climate change and rising temperature have been the focus of many activists for years, with many accusing the energy-intensive activities of BTC mining of contributing negatively. As a result, regulatory agencies have been more insistent that mining corporations investigate safer and cleaner alternatives to fossil fuels for their energy needs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To this end, Jamie Coutts, an analyst for Bloomberg, revealed that the percentage of Bitcoin transactions that use sustainable energy has increased steadily since 2021 and is now over 50%.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This rise was particularly kickstarted by China’s ban on Bitcoin Mining in 2021 and Kazakhstan’s <\/span>cap on the energy<\/span><\/a> used by domestic crypto miners. Since then, the overall hash rate has increased by 286%, yet carbon dioxide emissions have decreased from 600 grams of CO2 per KWh to 296.5 grams of CO2 per KWh.<\/span><\/p>\n

What Does This Mean For The BTC Ecosystem?<\/h2>\n
Bitcoin mining’s energy requirements take up around 50% of a miner’s operational cost. Cheaper clean energy is a way to offset these costs while simultaneously reducing the industry’s emissions or carbon intensity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
The Cambridge Centre for Alternative Finance (CCAF) also <\/span>recently lowered its Bitcoin electricity consumption<\/span><\/a> estimates by 25% from 105.3 TWh to 95.5 TWh, showing the transition is having better effects.<\/span><\/p>\n
A transition into cleaner energy methods speaks well for BTC and the crypto industry as a whole, considering the blockchain has been heavily criticized in the past by environmentalists.
