Скачать или смотреть Bitcoin and Ethereum VS Tezos Carbon Footprint

According to some assessments, it takes around 332 kWh to produce a single NFT on PoW blockchains like Ethereum, much higher than the 0.0002 kWh it takes to mint them on Tezos. To put this into context, the average human produces 0.1 kWh pedaling a cycle, requiring someone to cycle for 20 straight weeks before being able to mint an NFT on Ethereum. Tezos, on the other hand, would only need 7 seconds of pedaling to do the same.

The differences in energy consumption are even more evident with Bitcoin, which handles less than ten transactions per second at an energy cost of approximately 830kWh. In contrast, PoS blockchains are scalable to many times the throughput of PoW networks at a significantly smaller power draw. In raw numbers, Bitcoin uses 25 million times more power than Tezos.
