Quick Take

  • For the first time, the Bitcoin network has dropped below 300 g/KWh emissions, according to Daniel Batten, a Bitcoin ESG analyst.
  • Daniel Batten states this is an “all-time low”; it took just over three years for Bitcoin to half its emission intensity.
  • No other industry is reducing its emission intensity at such a rate, according to Daniel Batten.
  • The source data appears in this BEEST (Bitcoin energy & Emissions sustainability tracker).
  • Some other key highlights from the report include; the Cambridge Centre for Alternative Finance (CCAF) reports the Bitcoin network uses 37.6% zero emissions power sources, whereas the Bitcoin Mining Council reports 59.4% zero emissions power sources.
