Title: [Bounty] 0.01 BTC - Need calculation of Bitcoin's carbon foot print Post by: 1planet on June 17, 2014, 03:57:51 PM Ok I'm breaking my head over this.
Who can help me calculate the daily carbon emission caused by mining Bitcoins, given the following parameters? - A current hash rate of 107,533,531.29 GH/s (according to www.blockchain.info/stats) - A global emission average of 0.65 tonnes of CO2/MWh - Average mining hardware power consumption of 10Watts per GH/s. * And I don't need just the answer, I need every step in the calculations. * It's really hard to make a good guess how much the average power consumption of all mining equipment in the world would be. If anyone can help me make a more educated guess please let me know. NB: Only the first to give me a complete and easy to understand step-by-step answer will get the bounty! So please PM me to make sure you're the first.

So please PM me to make sure you're the first. Power consumption for all bitcoin mining machines = 107,533,531.29 * 10 = 1075335312.9 W = 1075.3353129 MW. Daily energy used = 1075.3353129 * 24 = 25808.0475096 MWH. Daily CO2 emission = 25808.0475096 * 0.65 = 16775.2308812 t You can find my address in my profile. :) Title: Re: [Bounty] 0.01 BTC - Need calculation of Bitcoin's carbon foot print Post by: PangPang on June 18, 2014, 07:54:19 AM Received 0.01 from OP.
