The opportunity to write about things I care deeply about is something that will never get old. My latest for Forbes Crypto ??

?? Did you know that Bitcoin mining can actually support electricity grids and promote renewable energy? ?? Bitcoin miners act as flexible energy consumers, using surplus electricity that might otherwise go to waste. This helps stabilize grids and can even encourage the development of renewable energy projects. Sustainable Bitcoin Certificates (SBCs) take this a step further by certifying Bitcoin mined with clean energy. By supporting SBCs, investors and companies can ensure that their Bitcoin is not only digital gold but also a driver of sustainable energy. In a recent episode, Rachel Wolfson chats with Russell Cann, Chief Development Officer at Core Scientific about how Bitcoin mining intersects with AI data centers. He discusses why some miners are hosting these centers, the associated costs and profits, and the energy efficiency of Bitcoin mining.

??The Energy Transition: Where are we? ? McKinsey & Company's recent analysis highlights that the energy transition is at a critical point, with roadblocks emerging. Despite high commitments to net-zero, scaling up decarbonization tech is lagging leaving a gap in progress. ?? Why? Investors are hesitating for the following reasons: ?? 3 major issues threaten capital deployment: 1?? Weak economic returns & policy predictability for developers 2?? Techs not yet cost-competitive due to lack of scale? 3?? Uncertainty around untested technologies needing multiyear development. Investors are hesitating. ?? McKinsey's Key Points: ??Growth & Gaps: Renewable energy grew 20% annually, EVs by 80% since 2010, but tech deployment must speed up to meet 2030 targets. ??Investment Hesitation: Delays in project commitments could stall progress and risk missing climate targets. ??Policy Impact: The US IRA and EU Green Deal are historic, but need firm project commitments to fully succeed. ?? High Energy Demands: Reuters reports, U.S. tech giants like Amazon and Microsoft are securing energy assets to power their expanding #AI and cloud data centers from Bitcoin miners such as Stronghold Digital Mining. CEO Greg Beard, explains miners face significant challenges due to high costs and infrastructure needs. ?? Energy Transition Solution: How Sustainable Bitcoin Certificate's Bridge this Gap: ? Direct Impact: SBCs directly inject capital into clean energy markets by purchasing and retiring Energy Attribute Certificates (EACs) or Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) tied to Bitcoin’s historical energy use. This accelerates the deployment of decarbonization technologies currently lagging due to insufficient funding. ? Verification: SBCs offer proof that your Bitcoin investments align with global climate goals. Each SBC is matched to the Bitcoin network’s energy consumption, ensuring a genuine commitment to sustainability. ?? Momentum: Investing in SBCs not only meets Bitcoin’s current energy demands but also over-invests to offset historical consumption, driving the network toward climate positivity and fostering a shift toward sustainable practices in the digital asset space. Secure a sustainable future now with SBCs. ?? ?? Reach out to SBP learn more: https://sustainablebtc.org ??
