到2030年，可再生能源可以为比特币采矿活动的70％供电

风险指标数据平台Nodiens发表的一份新报告预测，基于比特币采矿可再生能源增长的轨迹

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.

据报道，风险指标数据平台Nodiens发布的一份新报告预测，基于比特币挖掘可再生能源增长的轨迹，可再生能源可以到2030年为70％的比特币采矿活动供电。

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，云母加密联盟表示，2011年，该行业大约有20％的活动由可再生能源提供支持。到2024年底，这个数字翻了一番。

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

该报告在pryptoslate上写道：“可再生能源的组成随着时间的流逝而多样化。”

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

根据《福布斯》的说法，比特币使用工作证明的共识机制，该机制要求计算机解决复杂的数学问题以验证交易。

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.

这个高需求的计算过程使用了大量的电网构成电网的能量。最重要的是，多个比特币矿工竞争尽快解决方程式以赚取少量奖励。 “失败者”所做的努力基本上是徒劳的，消耗的能量也浪费了。

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

随着越来越多的矿工竞争相同的数学问题以及更多的比特币交易，比特币开采吞噬的能量增加了。

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，根据云母加密联盟，比特币开采仅消耗了0.002吨的能源。在2024年，这个数字增加到大约140个TWH。 Polytechnique Insights说，比特币采矿的年度用电与波兰国家相当。

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.

对能源的需求增加也可能提高零售电力率，因为供应商可能需要在高峰需求时间内提供更多的能源来供应消费者。

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.

该行业已经付出了令人钦佩的努力，将行业运营转变为可再生能源，从而减少了加密交易的环境影响。但是，大多数加密交易仍然主要由肮脏的燃料提供动力，这导致了行星加热的气体。

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.

根据数字知识分子的说法，比特币采矿硬件也每年都变得过时了，每年产生的总电子废物与“荷兰的小型IT设备浪费”相当。每项比特币交易的平均电子废物为375.5克，相当于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.

随着加密货币转移到更绿色的能源行业，该行业必须做出更大的努力来解决采矿所带来的电子废物问题。

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.

如果您在家中有电子废物，请考虑与苹果，百思买，目标和垃圾等公司一起回收您的技术，这些公司具有回收计划，以更好地管理未使用或不需要的电子产品。
