Ethereum’s transition in September to a proof-of-stake from a proof-of-work approach — a shift called the Merge — could have slashed its power demand by as much as the electricity requirement of Austria, according to the analysis from De Vries. He also emphasized that determining the exact power consumption of digital currencies is challenging because not all miners operate at the same efficiency.
they planned to use their facilities for other purposes, such as high-performance computing, after the Merge.of all tokens, consumes 114.1 terawatts of energy on an annualized basis, according to Digiconomist, which is comparable to the power consumption of the Netherlands. That amount of electricity generates more than 63 million tons of carbon dioxide, which is on par with the carbon footprint of Serbia and Montenegro.
