Tron Energy Usage Way Too Less Than Top Cryptocurrencies: Latest Report

Tron’s energy usage is relatively very less than that of some of the biggest cryptocurrencies, according to a latest report. Elon Musk’s stance on sustainable energy usage for Bitcoin mining sparked a new debate in the crypto ecosystem. His decision to back clean energy for mining operations came as a realization for many in the crypto ecosystem. In this context, it is crucial to prioritize renewable energy based blockchain projects for better prospects in the future. The Proof of Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism, known for low energy usage, could be adopted on a large scale for this very reason.

It is already well established that the consensus family of Proof of Stake is deemed superior regarding the electricity requirements. This is in comparison with the traditional Proof of Work consensus mechanisms. The Proof of Stake mechanism requires validators to lock in funds to propose or vote on new blocks.

Tron Energy Usage – A Study

A new report by the Crypto Carbon Ratings Institute (CCRI) studied electricity consumption of altcoin Tron. In addition, the corresponding carbon footprint of the TRON network was also analyzed in the CCRI report. After calculating the carbon emissions for the TRON network, the report suggested there was unnecessary debate about energy consumption of PoS protocols. The protocols consume an amount of electricity that does not justify the discussions about their environmental footprints at current levels, it said.

“In recent years, Bitcoin has faced harsh criticism for its electricity demand and carbon emissions. In the public, these fears and accusations have often been applied to other blockchain protocols.”

The report added that the energy consumed by about 15 US households is enough to suffice Tron network. “The total electricity consumption of the TRON network lies within the range of previously studied PoS blockchain networks.”
