In a pivotal move to temper the growth of energy-intensive industries, Norway has enacted legislation targeting <a href="https://ultramining.com/news/en/crypto-miners-shift-gears-ai-is-the-new-gold-rush/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">data centers</a>, particularly those involved in crypto mining. Ministers Terje Aasland and Karianne Tung confirmed the law's intention to curb the establishment of crypto mining facilities, citing significant greenhouse gas emissions and a departure from the nation's desired business profile, according to <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/norway-data-center-legislation-scrutiny-bitcoin-miners" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Cointelegraph</a>.
This new mandate, making Norway the first European nation to institute such a registration framework, requires data centers to divulge extensive operational details, thus granting the government oversight to potentially shut down projects not aligning with their environmental and economic goals. The legislation arrives amidst growing global scrutiny over the sustainability of cryptocurrency mining practices.
The legislative shift coincides with the Bitcoin <a href="https://ultramining.com/news/en/heat-waves-and-halving-bitcoin-miners-cash-in-amid-rising-prices/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">halving</a> event, adding financial pressure on miners by slashing block rewards in half, posing further challenges to profitability. The Norwegian government, discerning in its energy distribution, is resolute in repelling businesses that predominantly seek to capitalize on the country's abundant and inexpensive energy resources.
