This study addressed three questions: 1) What is the carbon footprint of Cardano? 2) How does the energy consumption of Cardano affect its overall environmental sustainability? and 3) How does the carbon footprint of Cardano compare with that of earlier-generation cryptocurrencies and the traditional banking system?\n\nData for Cardano\u2019s blockchain and office operations were obtained from Cardano\u2019s online blockchain monitoring tools and Cardano Foundation\u2019s official webpages. The carbon footprint of Cardano was calculated based on the annual electricity consumption of its blockchain network and estimated emissions from office operations and business flights. Carbon footprint data for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and traditional banking system were obtained from previously published studies.\n\nThe total carbon footprint of Cardano and annual electricity consumption was found to be 5.21 GWh and 2249.6 t CO2, respectively. The findings indicate that Cardano\u2019s Proof-of-Stake (PoS) technology is highly energy-efficient, consuming only a tiny fraction of the energy required by earlier-generation cryptocurrencies and traditional banking systems. Specifically, Cardano\u2019s carbon footprint is only half of Ethereum 2.0 and many thousands of times smaller than that of Bitcoin and traditional banking systems.\n\nThese results suggest that PoS-based cryptocurrencies like Cardano may offer a significantly more sustainable alternative for digital financial transactions. Furthermore, the study highlights the vast energy demands of earlier-generation cryptocurrencies and traditional banking systems, underscoring the urgent need for more environmentally sustainable financial technologies.", "language": "en", "element": "description", "qualifier": "abstract", "schema": "dc"}, {"key": "dc.description.abstract", "value": "T\u00e4m\u00e4n tutkimuksen tavoitteena oli arvioida kryptovaluutta Cardanon hiilijalanj\u00e4lke\u00e4.
