到2030年，可再生能源可以為比特幣採礦活動的70％供電

風險指標數據平台Nodiens發表的一份新報告預測，基於比特幣採礦可再生能源增長的軌跡

A new report published by risk metrics data platform Nodiens predicts that, based on the trajectory of renewable energy growth in bitcoin mining, renewable energy could power 70% of bitcoin mining activities by 2030, CryptoSlate reported.

據報導，風險指標數據平台Nodiens發布的一份新報告預測，基於比特幣挖掘可再生能源增長的軌跡，可再生能源可以到2030年為70％的比特幣採礦活動供電。

This year, the MiCA Crypto Alliance stated that in 2011, roughly 20% of the industry's activities were powered by renewable energy. By the end of 2024, this number doubled.

今年，雲母加密聯盟表示，2011年，該行業大約有20％的活動由可再生能源提供支持。到2024年底，這個數字翻了一番。

“The composition of renewable energy has diversified over time,” the report read, per CryptoSlate.

該報告在pryptoslate上寫道：“可再生能源的組成隨著時間的流逝而多樣化。”

Bitcoin uses a proof-of-work consensus mechanism, according to Forbes, which requires computers to solve complex math problems to verify transactions.

根據《福布斯》的說法，比特幣使用工作證明的共識機制，該機制要求計算機解決複雜的數學問題以驗證交易。

This high-demand computational process uses a significant amount of energy that strains grids. On top of that, multiple bitcoin miners race to solve the equations as quickly as possible to earn small rewards. The effort exerted by the “losers” is essentially rendered futile, with the energy consumed also wasted.

這個高需求的計算過程使用了大量的電網構成電網的能量。最重要的是，多個比特幣礦工競爭盡快解決方程式以賺取少量獎勵。 “失敗者”所做的努力基本上是徒勞的，消耗的能量也浪費了。

The energy that bitcoin mining gobbles up increases as more miners compete for the same math problems and as more bitcoin transactions occur.

隨著越來越多的礦工競爭相同的數學問題以及更多的比特幣交易，比特幣開採吞噬的能量增加了。

In 2011, bitcoin mining consumed only 0.002 terawatt-hours of energy, per the MiCA Crypto Alliance. In 2024, this figure increased to approximately 140 TWh. Polytechnique Insights said that the annual electricity consumption of bitcoin mining is comparable to that of the country of Poland.

2011年，根據云母加密聯盟，比特幣開採僅消耗了0.002噸的能源。在2024年，這個數字增加到大約140個TWH。 Polytechnique Insights說，比特幣採礦的年度用電與波蘭國家相當。

The increased demand for energy could also raise retail electricity rates because suppliers may need to source more energy to supply consumers during peak demand times.

對能源的需求增加也可能提高零售電力率，因為供應商可能需要在高峰需求時間內提供更多的能源來供應消費者。

The industry has made an admirable effort to transition industry operations to renewable energy sources, thereby reducing the environmental impact of crypto transactions. However, most crypto transactions are still largely powered by dirty fuels, contributing to planet-heating gases.

該行業已經付出了令人欽佩的努力，將行業運營轉變為可再生能源，從而減少了加密交易的環境影響。但是，大多數加密交易仍然主要由骯髒的燃料提供動力，這導致了行星加熱的氣體。

Bitcoin mining hardware also becomes obsolete every year and a half, according to Digiconomist, producing an annual total electronic waste comparable to "the small IT equipment waste of the Netherlands." Each bitcoin transaction produces an average e-waste of 375.5 grams, equivalent to the weight of 2.29 iPhone 12s.

根據數字知識分子的說法，比特幣採礦硬件也每年都變得過時了，每年產生的總電子廢物與“荷蘭的小型IT設備浪費”相當。每項比特幣交易的平均電子廢物為375.5克，相當於2.29 iPhone 12s的重量。

As cryptocurrency shifts to a more green-dominant energy industry, the sector must make a greater effort to address the e-waste problems that mining creates as well.

隨著加密貨幣轉移到更綠色的能源行業，該行業必須做出更大的努力來解決採礦所帶來的電子廢物問題。

If you have e-waste at home, consider recycling your technology with companies such as Apple, Best Buy, Target, and Trashie, which have recycling programs to better manage unused or unwanted electronics.

如果您在家中有電子廢物，請考慮與蘋果，百思買，目標和垃圾等公司一起回收您的技術，這些公司具有回收計劃，以更好地管理未使用或不需要的電子產品。
