According to the Crypto Carbon Ratings Institute (CCRI)’s report, the energy consumption of PoW blockchains, such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, is over 83 million kilowatts per hour (kWh) and 22 million kWh, respectively.

In comparison, Tron had a yearly energy consumption of 162,868 kWh for over 2.31 billion transactions, or roughly 99.9% less than the power consumed by Bitcoin and Ethereum. This pegged Tron’s energy consumption as “equal to the energy consumption of 15 average U.S. households,” as per CCRI.
