The figures in the paper are for the carbon footprint of the bitcoin Blockchain electricity consumption at the primary energy level, while the Falcon 9 figures you give are just launch emissions from the propellant. So not exactly fully comparable. And also this omits in both case two other elements needed to do a proper comparison: whole life cycle carbon emission, including hardware manufacturing and development time, and induced footprint of the usage (what it replaces and what is also purely new usage consumption). Without these figures, it is difficult to compare them. But just as a reminder, the figure quoted in the paper for bitcoin is 10,000 times the yearly figure we have for Falcon 9. |
