This month, Exponential Science released its first study , which aimed to quantify the environmental effectiveness of Bitcoin mining bans by estimating the resultant carbon emissions from displaced mining operations. Part of the study examined the effect of Bitcoin mining bans in low-emission countries and found it could result in a significant net increase in global carbon emissions due to redirecting mining activities to regions with higher carbon intensities. For example, a ban in Canada could lead to an increase of almost 6%, or 2.5 million tonnes of CO2 annually.
