Crypto Industry news:
The latest data suggests that Bitcoin has used more energy this year than in the whole of 2020.
Accurate data on energy consumption is variable and not easy to calculate accurately, but the trend is clearly increasing. The Cambridge Bitcoin Electricity Consumption Index currently estimates that Bitcoin is expected to use up to 95.68 TWh by the end of the year. This is about the same as the energy consumption in the Philippines or Pakistan.
A study by Science Direct highlighted another problem - electronic waste. E-waste generally refers to waste computer equipment and electronics. The report suggests that one transaction on the Bitcoin network produces 272 grams of e-waste, mostly old mining equipment.
BTC miners "are struggling with an increasing amount of short-lived equipment that could exacerbate the growth of global electronic waste." E-waste production was 30.7 kilotons in May 2021.
The study concluded that Bitcoin can produce up to 64.4 kilotons of e-waste at the peak BTC price levels observed in early 2021.
According to Statista, Bitcoin accounts for about 0.11% of the estimated global e-waste in 2021, or 57.4 million metric tons.
In the scale of total global electricity consumption, Bitcoin mining is only 0.43%. This is less than the estimated 104 TWh used by refrigerators in the United States alone, according to the University of Cambridge.
