The debate surrounding the Bitcoin network\u2019s energy consumption has been intense and mostly tilted in favor of BTC detractors. These individuals and entities have used the Cambridge Bitcoin Electricity Consumption Index (CBECI) to make an argument against the cryptocurrency. <\/strong><\/p>\n

However, Cambridge has updated<\/a> its CBECI to reflect new data, potentially flipping the discourse around Bitcoin\u2019s sustainability. This report previously compared BTC\u2019s energy consumption to some major European nations, but the revised models provide a deeper insight.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin Mining Data Evolves, Models Should Follow<\/h2>\n

In an article called \u201cBitcoin Electricity Consumption: An Improved Assessment,\u201d the institution provided the motivations behind the update. In addition, Cambridge acknowledged the difficulties in creating a methodology and getting the data due to BTC\u2019s decentralized network.<\/p>\n

Moreover, the institution received expert feedback and evaluated energy consumption as just one of many items to create an accurate index. Cambridge has been working on this issue since July 2019 and launching other tools besides the CBECI to help track Bitcoin\u2019s energy consumption, hashrate distribution, and greenhouse (GHG) emissions.<\/p>\n

The revised model uses data from BTC mining hardware manufacturers, governments, and other sources. This data affected estimations by looking into the distribution of newer mining equipment and the different energy sources leveraged by this nascent industry.<\/p>\n

The institution clarified:<\/p>\n

(\u2026) the backbone of our previous CBECI methodology was the assumption that every profitable hardware model released less than 5 years ago equally fuelled the total network hashrate. This, however, led to a disproportionally large number of older devices compared to newer ones in our assumed hardware distribution during exceptionally profitable mining periods.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The chart below shows the new model’s discrepancies with the 2019 CBECI. In particular, the model differed from the 2021 model, when the Bitcoin price rallied, and mining profitability was high.<\/p>\n

Energy consumption at that time stood at 89 Terawatt per hour (TWh), according to the revised CBECI model. The old model showed a much higher figure at 104 TWh. The report stated:<\/p>\n

In terms of global electricity consumption, it represented about 0.38%. As for 2023, the year-to-date electricity consumption estimate has been revised from 75.7 TWh to 70.4 TWh.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A Look Into The Future<\/h3>\n

Cambridge expressed its desire to continue informing the public about Bitcoin\u2019s energy consumption. However, the institution called the process \u201celusive\u201d and committed to only providing approximated numbers on the nascent BTC mining sector.<\/p>\n

The report acknowledged the advantages of using Bitcoin mining to offset carbon emissions via different methods and its impact on noise disturbances, water use, and thermal pollution.<\/p>\n

This report is one of the many that have emerged over the past three months. Major consultancy company KPMG highlighted the benefits of using the cryptocurrency to push energy demand into its next era and generally attempted to tear down the myths surrounding the industry.<\/p>\n

KPMG and Cambridge\u2019s efforts have been celebrated across the crypto industry. Daniel Batten, an investors in transparent and sustainable energy, stated<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Cambridge have just updated their Bitcoin power\/energy consumption methodology. First glance: it’s decreased around 25% and is now looking much more accurate (\u2026).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

His journey began with translating articles for various crypto news outlets, a role he took on with zeal. In 2018, amidst a challenging market, he embraced his first writing assignment, demonstrating his unwavering commitment to the nascent industry and the promise of change it bears for many people worldwide. In March 2021, he joined the prestigious crypto news outlet NewsBTC and Bitcoinist, where he not only reported on the latest crypto news but also had the privilege of interviewing some of the industry's most influential figures. A year later, his dedication and hard work were recognized, and he was promoted to Managing Editor, a position he currently holds with pride. He believes in honesty, good communication, hard work, and the power of cryptocurrency and its potential to transform people's lives, especially those alienated by the legacy financial system. Born in 1992 in Venezuela, Reynaldo is familiar with how governments and central banks can negatively affect people, their everyday lives, and their futures by creating inflation and erasing their hopes for a better future. Thus, like many Venezuelans, he embraced this new technology to help him and his family navigate difficult times. In another life, Reynaldo would have pursued a career as an investigator, most likely tracking down the origins of the Cyberpunk movement with the publication of William Gibson\u2019s \u2018Neuromancer.\u2019 The intersection between fiction and reality, with the materialization of Bitcoin in 2009, would have allowed him to dive deep into the crypto sphere as something more than a financial phenomenon but also a cultural shift in society that was brewing since the XX century, and maybe even sooner, in the XIX century with the publication of Henry David Thoreau\u2019s \u2018Civil Disobedience.\u2019 But that\u2019s for another life. In this one, Reynaldo has been trading to improve his trading skills. Since 2023, he has been trying to learn Python to create successful strategies and find ways to execute them. It is a difficult task, which continues to keep him busy today and will most likely continue to keep him busy in the near and long term. In his free time, he enjoys lifting heavy objects, reading, watching movies, and listening to his favorite music. Some of his favorite authors are Walt Whitman, William Faulkner, Allen Ginsberg, James Baldwin, Raymond Carver, Ray Bradbury, George Orwell, Mario Vargas Llosa, Reinaldo Arenas, Rafael Cadenas, and many others. Lately, he has been primarily interested in reading about dystopic societies, a topic that deeply resonates with the crypto industry. Since 2023, he has lived in Spain with his wife. He loves the weather, the food, and the people and their culture. They both expect to travel much more within the country they now call home and beyond its border. He hopes to retire with his wife, maybe in a quiet place near a beach, but most likely in a city close to a library and a university with his kids and, hopefully, grandkids.\",\"sameAs\":[\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/reynaldo-mrquez-2ab111190\/\",\"https:\/\/x.com\/rl_m\"],\"url\":\"https:\/\/ktsl888.com\/author\/reynaldomarquez\/\"}]}<\/script>\n","yoast_head_json":{"title":"How Bitcoin Flipped The Narrative Around Energy Consumption","description":"Cambridge has updated its CBECI to reflect new data, potentially flipping the discourse around the Bitcoin sustainability.","robots":{"index":"index","follow":"follow","max-snippet":"max-snippet:-1","max-image-preview":"max-image-preview:large","max-video-preview":"max-video-preview:-1"},"canonical":"https:\/\/ktsl888.com\/news\/the-secret-victory-how-bitcoin-flipped-the-energy-consumption-narrative\/","og_locale":"en_US","og_type":"article","og_title":"How Bitcoin Flipped The Narrative Around Energy Consumption","og_description":"Cambridge has updated its CBECI to reflect new data, potentially flipping the discourse around the Bitcoin sustainability.","og_url":"https:\/\/ktsl888.com\/news\/the-secret-victory-how-bitcoin-flipped-the-energy-consumption-narrative\/","og_site_name":"NewsBTC","article_publisher":"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/newsbtc","article_published_time":"2023-09-01T16:00:40+00:00","article_modified_time":"2024-06-11T11:22:33+00:00","og_image":[{"width":640,"height":427,"url":"https:\/\/ktsl888.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Bitcoin-BTC-BTCUSDT.jpg?fit=640%2C427","type":"image\/jpeg"}],"author":"Reynaldo Marquez","twitter_card":"summary_large_image","twitter_creator":"@rl_m","twitter_site":"@newsbtc","twitter_misc":{"Written by":"Reynaldo Marquez","Est. reading time":"3 minutes"},"schema":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https:\/\/ktsl888.com\/news\/the-secret-victory-how-bitcoin-flipped-the-energy-consumption-narrative\/#article","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/ktsl888.com\/news\/the-secret-victory-how-bitcoin-flipped-the-energy-consumption-narrative\/"},"author":{"name":"Reynaldo Marquez","@id":"https:\/\/ktsl888.com\/#\/schema\/person\/6b25e0bbb04d6129ebb4d"},"headline":"The Secret Victory: How Bitcoin Flipped The Energy Consumption Narrative","datePublished":"2023-09-01T16:00:40+00:00","dateModified":"2024-06-11T11:22:33+00:00","mainEntityOfPage":{"@id":"https:\/\/ktsl888.com\/news\/the-secret-victory-how-bitcoin-flipped-the-energy-consumption-narrative\/"},"wordCount":570,"publisher":{"@id":"https:\/\/ktsl888.com\/#organization"},"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/ktsl888.com\/news\/the-secret-victory-how-bitcoin-flipped-the-energy-consumption-narrative\/#primaryimage"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/ktsl888.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Bitcoin-BTC-BTCUSDT.jpg?fit=640%2C427","keywords":["bitcoin","btc","BTCUSDT"],"articleSection":["Cryptocurrency Market News"],"inLanguage":"en-US","copyrightYear":"2023","copyrightHolder":{"@id":"https:\/\/ktsl888.com\/#organization"}},{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https:\/\/ktsl888.com\/news\/the-secret-victory-how-bitcoin-flipped-the-energy-consumption-narrative\/","url":"https:\/\/ktsl888.com\/news\/the-secret-victory-how-bitcoin-flipped-the-energy-consumption-narrative\/","name":"How Bitcoin Flipped The Narrative Around Energy Consumption","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/ktsl888.com\/#website"},"primaryImageOfPage":{"@id":"https:\/\/ktsl888.com\/news\/the-secret-victory-how-bitcoin-flipped-the-energy-consumption-narrative\/#primaryimage"},"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/ktsl888.com\/news\/the-secret-victory-how-bitcoin-flipped-the-energy-consumption-narrative\/#primaryimage"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/ktsl888.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Bitcoin-BTC-BTCUSDT.jpg?fit=640%2C427","datePublished":"2023-09-01T16:00:40+00:00","dateModified":"2024-06-11T11:22:33+00:00","description":"Cambridge has updated its CBECI to reflect new data, potentially flipping the discourse around the Bitcoin sustainability.","breadcrumb":{"@id":"https:\/\/ktsl888.com\/news\/the-secret-victory-how-bitcoin-flipped-the-energy-consumption-narrative\/#breadcrumb"},"inLanguage":"en-US","potentialAction":[{"@type":"ReadAction","target":["https:\/\/ktsl888.com\/news\/the-secret-victory-how-bitcoin-flipped-the-energy-consumption-narrative\/"]}]},{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https:\/\/ktsl888.com\/news\/the-secret-victory-how-bitcoin-flipped-the-energy-consumption-narrative\/#primaryimage","url":"https:\/\/ktsl888.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Bitcoin-BTC-BTCUSDT.jpg?fit=640%2C427","contentUrl":"https:\/\/ktsl888.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Bitcoin-BTC-BTCUSDT.jpg?fit=640%2C427","width":640,"height":427,"caption":"Image from: Steven Welch -

In his free time, he enjoys lifting heavy objects, reading, watching movies, and listening to his favorite music. Some of his favorite authors are Walt Whitman, William Faulkner, Allen Ginsberg, James Baldwin, Raymond Carver, Ray Bradbury, George Orwell, Mario Vargas Llosa, Reinaldo Arenas, Rafael Cadenas, and many others. Lately, he has been primarily interested in reading about dystopic societies, a topic that deeply resonates with the crypto industry. Since 2023, he has lived in Spain with his wife. He loves the weather, the food, and the people and their culture. They both expect to travel much more within the country they now call home and beyond its border. He hopes to retire with his wife, maybe in a quiet place near a beach, but most likely in a city close to a library and a university with his kids and, hopefully, grandkids.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/reynaldo-mrquez-2ab111190\/","https:\/\/x.com\/rl_m"],"url":"https:\/\/ktsl888.com\/author\/reynaldomarquez\/"}]}},"parsely":{"version":"1.1.0","meta":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","headline":"The Secret Victory: How Bitcoin Flipped The Energy Consumption Narrative","url":"http:\/\/ktsl888.com\/news\/the-secret-victory-how-bitcoin-flipped-the-energy-consumption-narrative\/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"http:\/\/ktsl888.com\/news\/the-secret-victory-how-bitcoin-flipped-the-energy-consumption-narrative\/"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/ktsl888.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Bitcoin-BTC-BTCUSDT.jpg?resize=200%2C200","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https:\/\/ktsl888.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Bitcoin-BTC-BTCUSDT.jpg?fit=640%2C427"},"articleSection":"Cryptocurrency Market News","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Reynaldo Marquez"}],"creator":["Reynaldo Marquez"],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"NewsBTC","logo":"https:\/\/ktsl888.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/cropped-cropped-cropped-favicon.png?w=32"},"keywords":["bitcoin","btc","btcusdt"],"dateCreated":"2023-09-01T16:00:40Z","datePublished":"2023-09-01T16:00:40Z","dateModified":"2024-06-11T11:22:33Z"},"rendered":"<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"NewsArticle\",\"headline\":\"The Secret Victory: How Bitcoin Flipped The Energy Consumption Narrative\",\"url\":\"http:\\\/\\\/ktsl888.com\\\/news\\\/the-secret-victory-how-bitcoin-flipped-the-energy-consumption-narrative\\\/\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"http:\\\/\\\/ktsl888.com\\\/news\\\/the-secret-victory-how-bitcoin-flipped-the-energy-consumption-narrative\\\/\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/ktsl888.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2023\\\/09\\\/Bitcoin-BTC-BTCUSDT.jpg?resize=200%2C200\",\"image\":{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/ktsl888.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2023\\\/09\\\/Bitcoin-BTC-BTCUSDT.jpg?fit=640%2C427\"},\"articleSection\":\"Cryptocurrency Market News\",\"author\":[{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"Reynaldo Marquez\"}],\"creator\":[\"Reynaldo Marquez\"],\"publisher\":{\"@type\":\"Organization\",\"name\":\"NewsBTC\",\"logo\":\"https:\\\/\\\/ktsl888.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2020\\\/06\\\/cropped-cropped-cropped-favicon.png?w=32\"},\"keywords\":[\"bitcoin\",\"btc\",\"btcusdt\"],\"dateCreated\":\"2023-09-01T16:00:40Z\",\"datePublished\":\"2023-09-01T16:00:40Z\",\"dateModified\":\"2024-06-11T11:22:33Z\"}<\/script>","tracker_url":"https:\/\/cdn.parsely.com\/keys\/ktsl888.com\/p.js"},"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/ktsl888.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Bitcoin-BTC-BTCUSDT.jpg?fit=640%2C427","amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ktsl888.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/549746"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ktsl888.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ktsl888.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ktsl888.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/535"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ktsl888.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=549746"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/ktsl888.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/549746\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ktsl888.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/549765"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ktsl888.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=549746"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ktsl888.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=549746"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ktsl888.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=549746"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
