The importance of sustainability: Why eco-friendly blockchains are the future

As more and more decentralized applications (DApps), such as GameFi, DeFi, NFTs, and more, are being developed, heated discussions about the environmental impact of blockchain and cryptocurrency have reignited once more. Especially after China’s crackdown on cryptocurrency mining activities, public debates about blockchain and crypto-related energy consumption rates have reached a climax.
Proof of Work’s environmental impact
Since the birth of Bitcoin, the Proof of Work (PoW) consensus mechanism has always been fundamental to the security of blockchain networks. This consensus is reached through computing power, commonly referred to as hash rate.
Over time as blockchain technology is being adopted by the world, the energy consumption rate of the entire blockchain network has skyrocketed, leading to significant environmental costs. The University of Cambridge estimates that Bitcoin mining consumes about 130 TWh per year, accounting for about 0.1% of the world’s total primary energy consumption.
As far as DApp development is concerned, energy consumption-related environmental issues are mostly derived from Ethereum mining, since Ethereum is a PoW blockchain with the largest ecosystem full of projects in varying sizes. With the recent London hard fork, the transition to Ethereum 2.0-a complete Proof of Stake (PoS) blockchain, will be completed as early as 2022. As a result, the current energy consumption per transaction on Ethereum is about 35 kWh, which is equivalent to the energy consumption of a single person in developing countries for 3 days.
The true cost of DApp transactions
While mass crypto adoption is happening around the world, DApps and their applicability will eventually catch up. New projects such as wealth management applications, lending platforms, decentralized exchanges (DEX), NFT-inspired metaverses, and more, that are gradually taking over social media and our lives are the ultimate proof. If you have been paying attention to what’s happening around you, the crypto community’s passion and loyalty towards decentralized, immutable technology are clearly reflected in the real world.
That is certainly good news for crypto enthusiasts, but for the environment, it’s an entirely different story. Take NFTs for example. Memo Atken, a digital artist and engineer, estimates that the true cost of an NFT is much higher than a typical energy consumption of a transaction on Ethereum (35 kWh). He believes that NFT-related transactions will cost much more because all NFTs have to be minted and exchanged multiple times on the blockchain.
He is certainly correct. In fact, an NFT’s creation and distribution do not only consist of a simple mint and sale process. There will be many subsequent transactions made by collectors and traders, which makes the average carbon footprint of each NFT close to 340kWh (an average of 211 kg of CO2), equivalent to a single person’s energy consumption in a developed country for more than a month.
Why eco-friendly blockchains are favored by developers
In early 2021, several public blockchains underwent considerable ecosystem expansion, such as ThunderCore, Solana, Polkadot, and Binance Smart Chain. These blockchains’ ecosystems are in full bloom, as decentralized projects like DAOs, Oracles, Token Bridges, DeFi protocols, NFT marketplaces, blockchain games, and more, are being deployed consistently. There are many reasons for the expansion of these networks, but one thing they all have in common is that none of them utilize a PoW consensus mechanism (meaning zero physical mining facilities are used). Instead, novel mechanisms, such as PoS, that allow on-chain staking and other models to replace PoW are applied.
Among them, the ThunderCore blockchain uses the state-of-the-art PoS consensus mechanism, PaLa, which not only solves the “scalability trilemma”, but also supports the chain’s entire ecosystem with cheap renewable energy. ThunderCore is an eco-friendly public blockchain, and its CO2 emissions, resulting from on-chain transactions, are reduced by more than 10,000x. For example, its block creation does not require the support of large amounts of energy resources like Bitcoin and Ethereum do. ThunderCore is also EVM compatible, which allows the rapid migration and deployment of Ethereum projects. With low gas fees (<$0.00001), sub-second confirmations, and 4,000+ TPS, ThunderCore has become a platform favored by developers from the world over.

SDLG Holds Spring Festival Gathering and the Shipment Ceremony of Overseas Electric Products
On February 23, at the Shandong Lingong (Linyi) Industrial Park, colorful flags fluttered and loud music played, creating a festive and lively atmosphere. One after another, electric wheel loaders and electric excavators draped in colorful silk were ready to set off. Shandong Lingong Construction Machinery Company (SDLG)’s 2026 Spring Festival Gathering and the Shipment Ceremony of Overseas
Electric Products was grandly held here.

Wang Zhizhong, Chairman of Lingong Group, and Wen Degang, General Manager of SDLG, both attended the ceremony and delivered important speeches. Leaders from the group and its member companies, as well as middle-level and above cadres and employee representatives of SDLG, participated in the event. The ceremony was hosted by Zhou Weisheng, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee of Lingong Group.
In his speech, Chairman Wang Zhizhong extended New Year greetings to the employees, especially those stationed overseas on the front lines of the market during the Spring Festival and put forward new hopes and requirements. The chairman pointed out that in 2026, the market situation at home and abroad will remain complex and severe, full of challenges while also presenting development opportunities. Everyone should quickly switch from the holiday mode to a tense work mode and engage in tasks with the attitude of “starting the battle at the very beginning.”

The chairman emphasized that 2026 is the first year of the “15th Five-Year Plan” and the starting year for SDLG to implement its new development strategy. Departments at all levels should follow the company’s unified deployment, set clear goals and refine measures. It is necessary to conscientiously implement the strategic policy of “ensuring market share domestically and pursuing development abroad,” give full play to subjective initiative, carefully study each product, each dealer, and each market, identify problems and deficiencies, take effective measures to address weaknesses, focus on market planning, strengthen marketing channels, and improve business performance with high quality.
The chairman finally stressed that SDLG has already laid a solid foundation and created favorable conditions for accelerated development. All cadres and employees should have firm confidence in development, seize development opportunities, disregard objective difficulties, and rise to challenges. It is essential to continue to maintain a strong fighting spirit, carry forward the SDLG spirit of “Diligence, Devotion, Loyalty, Dedication,” have the courage to spur on the horses, unleash the vitality of a herd of galloping horses, maintain the drive of non-stop work, take the lead in “striving hard in the first quarter to achieve a good start,” and achieve success.
Wen Degang, General Manager of SDLG, expressed sincere gratitude in his speech for the arduous efforts and outstanding achievements made by all departments of the company in 2025 and highly praised employees who stuck to posts during the holiday. Mr. Wen emphasized three key aspects: “strengthening platform support to accelerate quality and efficiency improvement; focusing on ‘three rates’ in the domestic market to achieve high-quality development; and achieving leapfrog development in overseas markets and striving for even greater progress.” Mr. Wen stressed that the blueprint has been drawn up, and the goals are inspiring. Let’s rise to challenges, dare to fight and compete, shoulder the historical mission of “Take the route of top brand, build a centennial SDLG” with the sense of responsibility of “not being a true hero until reaching the Great Wall” and the tenacity of “not returning until Loulan is conquered,” demonstrate new actions, make new achievements, and achieve new development on the new journey.

At the ceremony, representatives from the International Marketing Headquarters and the Wheel Loader Division made statements. Subsequently, Chi Feng, Executive General Manager and Chief Engineer of SDLG, gave the order to dispatch the equipment. Amid the stirring music and warm applause, the fleet of electric products drove out of the SDLG factory and headed for the global market.

Galloping horses usher in a new year, and fine steeds strive forward with lofty aspirations. All employees of the company quickly entered a “combat” state. On the third day of the first lunar month, when many people were still immersed in the festive atmosphere, the company’s production system had fully resumed work, operating at full capacity to catch up with orders and ensure delivery. Centered around customers and responding to market demands, with clear goals in mind, SDLG strives to be the first, fully create more reliable and efficient products and services, and work together with global customers to create greater value and achieve win-win development!
