>GreenNFT/Green NFTs - A Study on the Environmental Impact of Cryptoart Technologies. Key Takeaways: The most important conclusions of the paper are:- 1 . The impact of a transaction does not depend only on the gas used, but is instead proportional to the transaction fee; 2. Spending 1 dollar on transaction fees on Ethereum is equivalent to emitting at least 1.115 kgCO2eq; 3. A blockchain with full blocks pollutes more than one with empty blocks; 4. The single most effective action that a user can take to reduce their own impact is to pay a reasonably lower gas price; 5. Variations in the price of Ether influence the greenhouse gas emissions of the Ethereum network; 6. As of early May 2021, Ethereum emits 24.76 MtCO2eq per year; 7. EIP-1559 is expected to reduce global Ethereum emissions by about a third; 8. Using Layer 2 technologies significantly reduces the impact of transactions; 9. Transitioning to Proof of Stake remains the best long-term solution for Ethereum.

"Green NFTs: A Study on the Environmental Impact of Cryptoart Technologies" is a paper written by Samuele Marro and Luca Donno, with the help of Giuseppe Pignataro (Professor of Microeconomics and Political Economy at University of Bologna). It analyzes the impact of both individual transactions and the Ethereum blockchain as a whole. It also describes several solutions to help cryptoartists reduce their emissions.
