Bitcoin mining’s renewable energy usage reached 65% in 2025, up from 55% in 2024, driven by mandatory green standards. Miners like CleanSpark, with 80% solar power, lead, while 20% of coal-based miners, like Bitdeer, exit, per prior data. Hydro dominates at 40%, with solar at 15%, per CoinShares, as miners relocate to Canada and Norway for $0.03/kWh rates. This shift cuts emissions 15% to 34 million tons, but 35% reliance on non-renewables risks $10 million fines for non-compliant firms. Renewables may hit 70% by 2026 if $200 million in green investments continue, though a 10% hash rate drop to 540 EH/s could occur if energy costs rise 20%, impacting smaller miners.
