Ministry of Natural Resources proposes to use green energy for mining cryptocurrencies in the Russian Federation

Minister of Natural Resources and Environment of the Russian Federation Sergey Donskoy believes that it is advisable to use the so-called green energy for mining cryptocurrencies in the Russian Federation, that is, solar, wind energy, etc. He stated this in a conversation with RT.

The minister acknowledged that mining can have a negative impact on the environment, in particular in those regions where energy facilities are located. With the increase in the number of miners, the risks also grow, Donskoy explained.

“We believe that it would be preferable to use green energy capacity for bitcoin production, which has lower emissions and, therefore, less impact on the environment. This direction has good prospects in the future. As for our country, there are quite large free capacities here, for example, in Siberia and the Far East, "he added, expressing confidence that interested parties will be able to find use for all free capacities in mining and other industries..

Earlier, the proposal to move cryptocurrency miners to the Kola Peninsula, where there is a surplus of geothermal energy, was made by the Deputy Head of the Ministry of Energy Vyacheslav Kravchenko.
