The Bitcoin mining sector shows significant strides in increasing the share of clean energy and sustainable development. Currently, 56.76% of mining energy comes from clean or renewable sources.

Current Achievements

According to Woocharts, the Bitcoin mining industry is increasing its share of clean energy. Since April 2021, the integration of clean energy has accelerated, now constituting 56.76% of mining energy.

Research and Assessment Methods

Woocharts calculates this sustainability metric using the Cambridge Center for Alternative Finance's definitions, accounting for energy sources like wind, solar, hydro, and nuclear power.

Tesla’s Bitcoin Usage Prospects

Surpassing the 50% clean energy threshold could be positively received by companies like Tesla. Initially, Tesla adopted Bitcoin as a payment method after purchasing $1.5 billion worth in 2021 but later suspended its use due to energy consumption concerns. However, Elon Musk has suggested that the company might reconsider its stance with confirmed sustainable mining practices.

Once the future positive trend of reasonable (~50%) clean energy usage by miners is confirmed, Tesla will continue to allow Bitcoin transactions.Elon Musk

The Bitcoin mining industry is progressing positively toward sustainable development. Tesla's decisions on Bitcoin transactions will depend on ongoing achievements in this area.
