TechFlow news, according to Wu Shuo Blockchain, at the second BitDeer "Abundant Water Festival," BitDeer Chairman Wu Jihan stated that carbon neutrality has a long-term impact on the industry. Reducing carbon emissions is a global trend, and the mining sector should not harbor any侥幸 (complacency). Moreover, in China, the mining and blockchain industries face increasingly complex challenges. As Zhou Xiaochuan previously pointed out, blockchain finance must always answer one fundamental question: what value does it bring to the real economy? In the future, institutions purchasing Bitcoin may avoid acquiring coins deemed "not clean enough." Therefore, for miners, transitioning to clean energy sources is a long-term necessity. Previously, cryptocurrency mining operations in Inner Mongolia were gradually shut down due to carbon neutrality requirements, and the environmental impact of Bitcoin mining has also sparked widespread protests in the West.
It is reported that "carbon neutrality" refers to offsetting emitted carbon dioxide through various means such as tree planting and energy conservation. The European Union proposed in 2018 to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, while Japan and South Korea have also announced their goals to reach carbon neutrality by 2050. Currently, the world's largest emitter of carbon dioxide, China, has pledged to achieve carbon neutrality by 2060.
