The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has proposed higher energy taxes to reduce emissions from crypto miners and artificial intelligence (AI) data centers, according to an Aug. 15 report<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Daniel Batten, the Managing Partner at CH4Capital, has issued a strong rebuttal to the report on his X (formerly Twitter) account<\/a>, stating,<\/p>\n

“Bitcoin mining has significant environmental benefits, those who stand to lose most from mainstream adoption of Bitcoin (IMF, Central Banks) are needing to resort to direct attack-pieces.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The IMF argues that these sectors consume 2% of the world's electricity and contribute nearly 1% of global emissions. The financial regulator claimed that one Bitcoin<\/a> transaction uses the same electricity that an average person in Ghana or Pakistan would use in three years.<\/p>\n

Additionally, it argues a ChatGPT<\/a> query consumes ten times more electricity than a Google<\/a> search due to the energy-intensive nature of AI data centers.<\/p>\n

\"AI
Crypto and AI Energy Use (Source: IMF)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The IMF projects that energy consumption<\/a> from these sectors in three years could rise to 3.5%, matching Japan's current electricity use, which is the fifth-largest in the world.<\/p>\n

Increase energy taxes<\/h2>\n

To address this, the IMF recommends a significant increase in energy taxes<\/a>. It suggests governments impose an 85% hike in electricity taxes for crypto miners<\/a>, equating to $0.047 per kilowatt hour or $0.089 when including air pollution costs. This measure could allegedly generate $5.2 billion annually and cut emissions by 100 million tons, roughly equal to Belgium's current emissions.<\/p>\n

Similarly, the IMF advises taxing data centers at $0.032 per kilowatt hour, rising to $0.052 with air pollution costs. This could help governments collect $18 billion each year.\u00a0They argue that data centers use less energy and often operate in areas with\u00a0<\/span>greener electricity<\/a> and would thus face lower taxes than crypto miners.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, the IMF stresses that implementing these taxes would require international cooperation to prevent miners and data centers from moving to regions with cheaper energy rates.<\/p>\n

The IMF also suggests targeted measures to promote energy-efficient practices among crypto miners and data centers<\/a>. These could include incentives for using more efficient equipment, adopting less energy-intensive mining methods, and complementing taxes with credits for zero-emission power agreements or renewable energy certificates.<\/p>\n

Shafik Hebous, the deputy division chief of the IMF Fiscal Affairs Department, and Nate Vernon-Lin, an economist in the climate policy division, authored the report.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
