Rethinking Blockchain's Electricity Consumption

Sustainability in Blockchain Technology?

In the context of advancing digitalisation, sustainability, resource intensity and energy efficiency are key concerns of blockchain technology. Our new guide “Rethinking Blockchain’s Electricity Consumption – A Guide to Electricity-Efficient Design of Decentralized Data Infrastructure” shows how blockchains can be designed to be more energy-efficient.

In collaboration with Fraunhofer FIT, we present a guide that not only identifies solutions, but also provides a deeper understanding of blockchain’s electricity consumption.

The publication offers in-depth insights into:

  • Background on the selection of the consensus mechanism
  • 10 tools for the use case-appropriate design of blockchains
  • Guiding questions for the analysis of use cases with regard to performance and IT security

Enjoy reading and applying!
