While I'm in NZ, #[0] dropped by. We spent today day translating some of his work into live charts so the world can keep easy tabs on #Bitcoin's progress towards being carbon negative, least of all people shaping policy where this data is critical.

This will go live soon.

Emissions are roughly the same as 3 years ago despite market cap being 3x higher and user adoption 4x higher.

In terms of CO2e intensity, the #Bitcoin network is making great strides putting out 3x less CO2e per kWh of energy use (0.09 grams per kWh presently). Daniel's best extrapolation is that is on track to go carbon negative in 4 years.

Correction:

The network presently emits 0.9 grams annually of CO2e per dollar of market cap.

This is 329g of CO2e per kWh.
