Cryptocurrency Bitcoins Mining through Solar Energy
In a new study, it has been revealed that by mining Bitcoin using the additional electricity generated from solar energy and wind installations, one can potentially earn millions of dollars. According to scientists at America's Cornell University, implementing such mining operations can provide income while mitigating the negative effects on the environment caused by cryptocurrency mining, contributing to future sustainable energy projects.
Professor Fengchi Yu, an energy systems expert at the university, emphasized that the viability of mining systems depends on the stable availability of energy. Therefore, determining the location of mining farms is crucial for increasing production. According to research published in the Journal of ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering, Texas is the most lucrative state for cryptocurrency mining operations, where 32 stable energy projects can collectively earn around $47 million.
On the other hand, other environmentally friendly states include California, Colorado, Illinois, Iowa, Nevada, and Virginia. According to doctoral student Apoorva Lal from Cornell University, these projects can be incentivized through new policies, where anyone mining Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies using clean energy will be economically rewarded.
