UNITY x Green Bitcoin Mining

Miners of digital currencies such as Bitcoin utilise enormous amounts of energy during the process of minting digital coins. As reported in Bloomberg, "The global power needed to create cryptocurrencies this year could rival the entire electricity consumption of Argentina and be a growth driver for renewable energy producers from the US to China."

Our UNITY crypto anchor provides the digitial identity of each solar panel, which measures, records, and verifies output, and streams a time-based EnergyTag. This tag becomes a unique identifier to verify its clean energy source. By mining Bitcoin in this way, we can then facilitate certification into the mining process that produces a 'Green Bitcoin'.
