Avalanche goes high on green ratings

The research firm, which tracks environmental impact of cryptocurrencies, discovered that Avalanche sucked 469,802.39-kilowatt hour (kWh) of electricity annually as of 1 June 2023.

For context, this was just 8.2% of the energy consumed by Ethereum [ETH], and order of magnitude lower than that of proof-of-work (PoW) chain Bitcoin [BTC].

The report also found that Avalanche’s annual energy consumption was equal to the annual consumption of 44 average U.S. households.

Additionally, with emissions of just 178.3 tCO2e per annum, Avalanche was one of the least eco-polluting PoS networks. Indeed, its carbon footprint was a minuscule fraction of that of Ethereum and Solana [SOL], and equivalent to the emissions from 29 roundtrip flights from Munich to San Francisco.
