CoinVoice has recently learned that, according to data from Woocharts, the proportion of clean or sustainable energy used in mining currently stands at 56.76%. Since April 2021, the use of clean energy for BTC has been steadily increasing. The platform measures its clean energy usage based on the definition of sustainability from the Cambridge Centre for Alternative Finance, with relevant indicators depending on the share of energy sources such as wind, solar, hydro, and even nuclear energy in the cryptocurrency mining business.
In recent years, Bitcoin mining companies like Riot Platforms and MARA Holdings have increased their investments in clean energy. However, against the backdrop of the current global energy crisis, mining costs continue to rise. To cope with this situation, most mining companies are using their remaining capital to purchase Bitcoin. [Original link]
