Recent data reveals a significant trend in Bitcoin mining: the industry is transitioning away from fossil fuels towards renewable energy sources. The use of coal, which was dominant for years, has seen a dramatic decline over the past 13 years, decreasing from 63% in 2011 to just 20% in 2024. This reduction averages out at an annual decrease of approximately 8%, as highlighted in a report by the MiCA Crypto Alliance released on March 31st. Meanwhile, renewable energy’s share in Bitcoin mining is steadily rising, increasing at a rate of around 5.8% per year. These trends point to a clear shift towards cleaner and more sustainable practices within Bitcoin mining. 100% Renewable Energy, the report states, is a vital factor to consider when exploring scenarios for Bitcoin’s future.
