Decarbonising crypto: a state of play reportHow exactly should we be gauging the real environmental impact of cryptocurrencies?
Where do we turn for our information? How do we interpret it? And how do we move forwards on this important issue, together?
As part of our commitment to explore the issue openly, provide a voice for sustainability in crypto and facilitate collective action, in September 2021 Zumo organised a ‘Decarbonising crypto’ round-table that brought together expert voices from across the sector to gather opinions and perspectives from solution providers, industry participants and environmental research on key questions of methodology, benchmarking, collaboration and technology.
The resulting ‘state of play’ report is one of the first to comprehensively deconstruct the methodologies and assumptions quantifying the environmental impact of cryptocurrencies, providing a point of departure for decarbonisation discussions, and laying the foundation for further action and collaboration in the crypto space.
