Rhode Island Dangles Crypto Rewards For Home Builders With Low Carbon Emission

According to a February 2021 CNBC report, the carbon footprint of Bitcoin, the world’s largest crypto, is similar to that of New Zealand, with both generating approximately 37 megatons of carbon dioxide into the environment each year.

In Rhode Island’s House of Representatives, a bill has been introduced that would reward a home builder with bitcoin for lowering the project’s carbon footprint.

Reprezantan Carlos E. Tobon nan Rhode Island te ofri yon remèd inovatè nan kriz lojman eta a ki, dapre rapò, ta ede tou adrese chanjman nan klima: kreye yon nouvo lajan dijital.

Crypto ankourajman pou koupe anprint CO2

The Green Housing Public-Private Partnership Act of Rhode Island was enacted to encourage the development of more LEED-certified buildings and homes by crediting developers for any carbon reductions they achieve.

Dapre yon seksyon nan tèks bòdwo a:

"Nenpòt rediksyon nan depans sèvis piblik akòz nenpòt pwojè bilding lojman ki fèt dapre chapit sa a pral kredite sou fòm yon pyès vèt depatman an dwe bay pwopriyetè pwopriyete a."

Sous yo fè konnen efò a pral finanse atravè yon pisin kontribisyon ki totalize $625 milyon dola.

Pandan ke premye $500 milyon dola yo espere soti nan donasyon labank, rès $125 milyon dola yo prevwa soti nan gouvènman an.

Si yo tabli, yo pral rele pisin fon sa a "Green Housing Fund."

Bitcoin’s Massive Energy Requirement

Bitcoin accounts for around 0.52 percent of total global electricity use, according to December 2021 estimates from the Cambridge Bitcoin Electricity Consumption Index.

That may not sound like much, but Digiconomist estimates Bitcoin’s annual total energy consumption to be around 204.50 terawatt-hours, roughly similar to Thailand’s.

Malgre ke rezo blockchain Green Coin la pa konnen, li gen anpil chans pou yo se rezo prèv-of-stake (PoS) mwens chè ke anviwònman endikap prefere jou sa yo.

Redfin, yon tracker done lojman, konfime ke rezèv lojman Rhode Island la te piti piti bese nan senk dènye ane yo, rive nan yon ba senk ane nan mwa fevriye 2022.

Li te itilize anvan

Pandan se tan, sa a se pa premye egzanp nan cryptocurrency yo te itilize nan pwojè byen imobilye.

nouvo homeowners in Austin City, Texas, are offered loans in USDC and MATIC altcoins as part of a scheme called USDC.homes.

This allows prospective homeowners to deposit their down payment in cryptocurrency, which is staked and earns the borrower interest that may be used to help pay down the loan.
