By 2025, the digital world’s global carbon emissions will represent 9% of greenhouse gas. The environmental impact of NFTs is not likely to improve the situation. The problem lies in their high energy consumption and, more precisely, the energy the blockchain uses that allows them to exist. This technology comprises blocks of binary information that record transactions and exchanges of signals on a network. Bitcoin and Ethereum networks are the most renowned, and most digital art uses the Ethereum blockchain. Ethereum is one of the more energy-intensive forms of blockchain, and its impact on the environment is substantial. This situation is flexible, and blockchain companies are taking steps to reduce emissions.
The role of NFTs in the future is uncertain, but the environmental impact of NFTs, mainly the energy used in mining to confirm the blockchain transaction, should be addressed. The storage methods used to house NFTs based on blockchain technology emit millions of tons of carbon dioxide, which is harmful to an already overheated planet.

NFTs aren’t environmentally friendly. Most NFTs trade on the Ethereum network, meaning each transaction uses a mining process to confirm the trade and transaction. The energy used in mining concerns many who feel that it can add to carbon emissions if non-clean energy sources are used. NFTs require energy to confirm each blockchain transaction, and this means that it uses an equal amount of energy when resold, multiplying the effect of any one NFT on the market.
