mining<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\nThere was also a call for the mining industry to provide better data on its use of clean energy, and the report suggested that miners could build zero-carbon energy capacity<\/strong> that produces more electricity than their crypto-mining facility needs or will be required to do so as a condition of their employment.<\/span><\/p>\nAdditionally, the report mentions that blockchain is being used to enable California’s Flex Alert system, which is one emerging use of blockchain technology in energy management. It is designed to enable grid operators to push out requests for energy conservation during a grid outage, to interact securely with the customers to collect their participation rates, and to understand the participation rates while ensuring that customer confidentiality is maintained.<\/span><\/p>\nIn conclusion, the paper concludes that it is possible to utilize blockchain and distributed ledger technologies to facilitate the development of energy and environmental markets<\/strong>, particularly carbon markets, distributed energy resource coordination, and general supply chain management.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In a recent report, the White House released an assessment of the environmental impact of crypto mining.
