Saving Carbon
When we built docStribute® there was no point replacing paper with an energy sapping blockchain, that’s one of the reasons we chose to building Hedera. The efficiency of hashgraph consensus enables Hedera to be the most sustainable public network, based on average energy consumed per transaction (0.000003 kWh), according to a recent study conducted by University College London.
In addition, Hedera has committed to being a carbon-negative public network through the purchase of quarterly carbon credits to offset the small amount of emissions from all public-facing infrastructure.
