Ethereum transaction energy use equals to 2.5 miles in a Tesla Model 3, report
One Ethereum transaction uses enough energy to power a house all day, but how much does the fiat financial system use? In contrast, a transaction on Tezos takes 0.0016 kWh or less than the energy required to charge an Apple Tablet for 10 minutes. 100 Tezos transactions is equivalent to driving 10 km in a Tesla Model 3. The energy use of the entire Tezos network is approximately equivalent to two households in the U.S. for the whole year. One question, though, is how competing blockchains such as Tezos, Polkadot and Solana will perform on the market once Ethereum transitions to....

It turns out one Bitcoin transaction takes 30 kWh of energy to go through to the blockchain. To get everything straight, let us look at what one kWh is. With one kWh a 100 watt light bulb would be lit for 10 hours. With 30 kWh that same 100 watt light bulb would be lit 300 hours. To make the amount of 30 kWh even more clear, I calculated how far that same amount of energy would take a 2016 Tesla S. According to www.fueleconomy.gov a 2016 Tesla Model S AWD – 70D uses 33kWh/100 miles riding on a combination of city and highway. From there it is quite simple to calculate that with 30 kWh the....

Peer-to-peer (P2P) power trading presents a promising use case for blockchain technology and supports transactive energy, according to a report from Navigant Research. Owners of distributed energy resources will be the first stakeholders. Blockchain technology could provide a new model for transactive energy, which refers to the economic and control techniques used to manage the flow or exchange of energy within an existing power system. The report examines the requirements for an energy blockchain, offering case studies, recommendations and implementation challenges for the energy....
