长期以来，比特币挖矿对环境的影响一直是社区争论不休的话题。由于解决复杂的数学方程式以确认交易所需的高性能计算机消耗的能量，为了保护国家的能源供应，一些地区已经禁止采矿活动。然而，与风能和太阳能相结合，一种新的比特币开采形式在减少排放方面显示出更大的希望。
通过比特币挖矿减少排放
环境污染最活跃的途径之一是石油钻探。在此过程中会产生天然气，由于利用天然气的成本效益不高，因此制造商通常不得不燃烧掉现场生产的天然气。
通过称为燃烧的过程，天然气在空气中燃烧。然而，这样做会向大气中释放成吨的二氧化碳，从而导致更多的排放。已经提出了各种解决方案，例如风能和太阳能，以试图减少燃烧过程产生的排放，但没有一种能像使用比特币开采中的天然气那样有效。
Cross Energy 的一项研究提出，与风能相比，实际使用天然气进行比特币开采更具成本效益，排放量减少了 500% 以上，太阳能甚至更高。

Roscoe 的研究发现，在使用天然气的比特币采矿系统上每投资 1,000 美元，排放量就会减少 6.32 吨二氧化碳当量。现在，从正确的角度来看，同样的 1,000 美元投资，风能和太阳能都减少了 1.3 和 0.98 二氧化碳当量的排放量。这表明使用天然气开采比特币不仅在成本方面是一种更好的选择，而且对环境也有好处。
