Ethereum cuts energy use by 99.9% post-Merge, slashing carbon footprint to 2.37 ktCO₂e annually.

Ethereum's transition from Proof-of-Work to Proof-of-Stake has reduced its electricity consumption by over 99.9%, now using just 7.87 GWh annually—less than half the British Museum's usage. This shift also cut its carbon emissions to about 2.37 kilotonnes of CO₂ equivalent per year, comparable to 900 UK households. Despite node concentration in the US and Europe, Ethereum remains decentralized and sources 56.4% of its electricity from sustainable energy. Future upgrades like Lean Ethereum aim to further improve efficiency and security while maintaining decentralization.
