Miners and companies striving to achieve "carbon neutrality"
As soon as "mining" is mentioned now, it basically runs counter to the goals of "carbon peak" and "carbon neutrality". However, transformation, such as increasing the use of alternative energy or other innovative methods, will take time to complete full coverage. In this process, "doing something" is a must for a mine. Then the question arises, how to do it?
The established digital asset service provider GSR recently announced that it has become one of the first batch of miners to fully achieve the goal of "net zero emissions". On the one hand, GSR uses renewable hydroelectric energy alternatively in some mining operations. On the other hand, GSR purchases tokenized carbon credits from the Fortaleza Ituxi project (a project to protect over-logged land in the Amazon rainforest) to offset its carbon emission.

Not all NFTs are "Godzilla" who swallow electricity
It was previously reported that digital artist Memo Akten analyzed 18,000 NFTs and found that the average carbon footprint is equivalent to the electricity consumption of an EU resident for more than a month. As a result, some artists put aside plans to hold NFT auctions, hoping to provide a sustainable and ecologically sound NFT operating environment.
The carbon footprint of NFT has a great relationship with the power and energy consumption of the underlying blockchain network. William Quigley, co-founder of WAX, a blockchain that has achieved carbon neutrality and focuses on NFT ecology, once said in an interview: "Obviously, not all blockchains are the same. Our goal is to achieve extremely low consumption. can, while maintaining the performance of the chain.”

Pressure to drive action A 'green shuffle' will begin
The data shows that more than 120 countries and 2/3 of the economies have joined the "carbon neutral" transformation, and the blockchain industry is also in this "carbon" storm. Whether it is the "mining circle" Urgent transformation, lower energy consumption of chain ecology, or carbon reduction measures in various industry chains are all positive paths. What this article lists is just a small tip of the iceberg. The collective action of the entire industry, a round of "green reshuffle" is about to begin.
