“Cooling technology It could help to turn Bitcoin mining emissions to zero,” Bitcoin Mining Council (BMC) member Hass McCook told Cointelegraph.
McCook, known online as Friar Hass, believes the industry is on track to achieve its goals by 2030.
Immersive cooling involves placing an ASIC bitcoin mining rig in a special cooling liquid. which helps absorb and recycle heat. And it also increases productivity as well.
Earlier this month, bitcoin mining company Riot Blockchain. announceIt plans to develop a 200-megawatt chilled bitcoin mining infrastructure at the Whinstone Facility. immersion-cooling Company introduction It is expected that the mining force will increase by 25% and the ASIC efficiency will increase by 50%.
Around the Coin podcast co-host Brian Roemmele posted a photo of the bitcoin miner Oct. 29 on Twitter, claiming that: “Putting a Bitcoin Miner in Liquid This reduced heat and noise by 95% and we were able to recover 40% of the heat and convert it into energy.”
“Bitcoin will be 100% environmentally friendly by 2024,” he said.added “No other system is more environmentally friendly.”
Although McCook agrees that Bitcoin can be carbon neutral. But he may not be looking at it anytime soon.
“I believe that by 2030 emissions will reach zero. But I think 2024 is quite ambitious.” he said “And I think immersive cooling technology could be part of a greener transition.”
Optimized cooling can reduce the need for equipment replacement. and the amount of energy required to cool the miner while BTC is mining, and can also reduce the environmental impact of mining. This is also an interesting method for miners, McCook said.
“The move to environmentally friendly bitcoin mining is not for environmental reasons. It is because it lowers the cost of miners to increase their profits.”
He added that the main game is about whether miners use sustainable energy sources.
“The harsh reality is when you plug your device into the wall. You get everything on the other side of that plug,” McCook said.
Bitcoin is getting closer to a more sustainable future.research resultsThe latest from the Bitcoin Mining Council by a survey of North American members is using electricity from a 65.9% sustainable energy share.
“Based on this information The sustainable electricity share of the global mining industry is expected to grow to approximately 57.7% during Q3 2021 and 3% from Q2 2021, making it one of the most sustainable industries in the world,” BMC wrote Michael. Saylor, CEO of Microstrategy, said: “This quarter we saw huge improvements in energy efficiency and sustainability of Bitcoin mining due to advances in technology. semiconductor The Rapid Expansion of Mining in North America Chinese immigration and global circulation towards sustainable energy and cutting-edge mining techniques.”
