As the awaited<a href="https://www.cryptotimes.io/2024/04/15/bitcoin-mining-ceos-optimistic-ahead-of-the-halving/" data-wpel-link="internal"> Bitcoin halving</a> is scheduled to take place this week, cutting block rewards from 6.25 BTC to 3.125 BTC and rising hash rates could affect mining firms’ profits. However, this shift may lead to a greener and more sustainable Bitcoin mining network. 
According to Matteo Greco, a research analyst at Fineqia International, The likely drop in mining profits may lead companies to seek cheaper electricity and adopt more renewable energy sources for Bitcoin mining. 
China, a Big investor in Bitcoin mining despite a nationwide ban, currently contributes around 15% to the global Bitcoin hash rate. Notably, a majority of Chinese miners have <a href="https://www.batcoinz.com/p/issue-009-the-surprising-story-of" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-wpel-link="external">turned </a>to hydroelectric power, an abundant and affordable energy source during the region’s wet months, showcasing a trend towards greener mining practices. 
As block rewards decrease, mining companies must try to find affordable and sustainable energy sources to stay profitable. This change could make Bitcoin mining more environmentally friendly, invite investments, and promote sustained growth in the industry. 
The main goal of the Bitcoin halving event is to manage the <a href="https://www.cryptotimes.io/2024/04/15/how-bitcoin-halving-helps-in-increasing-crypto-adoption/" data-wpel-link="internal">cryptocurrency’s supply</a> and motivate miners. Its effects could lead to more use of green energy in mining. This aligns with the industry’s wider goals for sustainability and may help lessen its environmental impact.
