The Bitcoin mining industry is again showing significant changes. The latest report from the Cambridge Centre for Alternative Finance (CCAF) indicates that in the first quarter of 2025, the proportion of sustainable energy used for mining Bitcoin surged to 52.4 percent, a drastic increase from 37.6 percent in 2022.

This rise is not just a number, but a strong signal that the crypto world is slowly addressing concerns about its environmental impact.

Even more interesting, the energy sources supporting this activity are also shifting. If previously coal was the main contributor of energy for Bitcoin mining, now natural gas has taken over that throne, accounting for 38.2 percent of total energy consumption.

A change that, if likened to everyday life, is similar to replacing a diesel-powered vehicle with an electric car; the goal remains the same, but the path is cleaner.
