Description
The Cambridge Bitcoin Electricity Consumption Index (CBECI) is a pivotal project created by the Cambridge Centre for Alternative Finance at Cambridge Judge Business School (CambridgeAltFin CJBS), aimed at measuring the Bitcoin network's total electricity consumption in real-time. The initiative highlights the environmental impact of Bitcoin mining, offering tools such as the CBECI, the Bitcoin Mining Map, and comparative analyses with countries and electric systems. These resources are designed to shed light on the geographic distribution of Bitcoin mining and allow for an objective comparison of Bitcoin's energy use against other sectors. By providing reliable data and comprehensive analysis, the CBECI seeks to encourage a nuanced debate on Bitcoin's sustainability and energy consumption. This project serves as a crucial resource for blockchain stakeholders, researchers, policymakers, and anyone interested in the environmental implications of blockchain technology, aiming to give an unbiased foundation for evaluating Bitcoin's energy demands and fostering informed opinions on its energy consumption practices.
