Green pursuits in the crypto space
cryptocoin.com As you follow from , traditional organizations are looking for appropriate ways to reduce their carbon emissions. For this, they include using Blockchain technology in their plans. Therefore, carbon emissions and carbon credits have become a hot topic. In 2021, the United Nations Environment Program and other governing bodies met during the Middle East and North Africa Climate Week. The main agenda of this meeting was to examine the potential of Blockchain to combat climate change.
Organizations in the crypto space seek to improve the ecosystem through donations to decarbonisation projects, tokenized carbon credits and carbon neutral blockchains. In this direction, several Blockchain companies are also taking a stand. Algorand announced in April 2022 that its blockchain is completely carbon neutral. Also, the leading altcoin Ethereum switched from Proof-of-Work (PoW) to Proof-of-Stake (PoS) in September 2022. As you know, the PoW consensus mechanism is heavily criticized for being energy-intensive. Ethereum’s switch to the energy efficient PoS protocol has reduced energy consumption by 99.9%. This was a very important step for the altcoin and crypto world.
