According to Odaily Planet Daily, the Bitcoin mining ecosystem is developing rapidly, and the use of clean energy has made significant progress. Woocharts data shows that clean or sustainable energy accounts for 56.76% of mining.
BTC’s clean energy usage has been growing steadily since April 2021. The platform uses the Cambridge Centre for Alternative Finance’s definition to measure clean energy usage, which includes wind, solar, hydro and nuclear power.
In the past few years, mining companies such as Riot Platforms and MARA Holdings have increased their investment in clean energy. However, in the context of the global energy crisis, mining costs have risen, and most mining companies have used their surplus capital to buy Bitcoin.
