Could Bitcoin Mining Actually Reduce Methane Emissions By 2030? - BitcoinEthereumNews.com
ESG analyst Daniel Batten argues that bitcoin mining could reduce methane emissions by up to 8.5 percent by 2030. As a greenhouse gas, methane has 80 times more potential of causing climate change than carbon dioxide (CO2) during its first 20 years in the atmosphere, according to research. It accounts for about one fifth of all greenhouse gases emissions. Converting methane into CO2 Daniel Batten, a renowned environment, social and governance (ESG) analyst and bitcoin investor, said bitcoin mining could ลดลงอย่างมาก the amount of methane concentrations in the atmosphere. Batten argues that removing the equivalent of one ton in methane emissions is more effective than avoiding the same amount of carbon dioxide. His plan is to convert methane into carbon dioxide, and use that to power bitcoin mining. “You do that by finding leaking methane and cleanly burning it to generate electricity,” Batten ที่ระบุไว้ in a long April 29 thread on Twitter. “By doing that you get a +80 point for removing methane, but a -1 point penalty for the residual carbon dioxide, so its still 79x more effective than removing CO2 from our atmosphere.” Methane is produced mainly in landfills and in agriculture, particularly during the digestive processes of a cow.
