Once issued, SBCs will exist as a separate instrument, containing the environmental properties of BTC mining.
SBP will always consult our governance stakeholders, inclusive of some of the world’s top Climate scientists and NGOs to answer this question. That said, the best science today dictates that hydro, solar, wind, and waste methane, are clean sources of energy for Bitcoin mining.
Each miner will report their energy consumption and renewable energy usage in an audit conducted by a third party verification organization. These miners will then send the information to SBP, where the data will be recorded.
