From YouTube: Ecosystem-WG March 2022 Deep Dive: Filecoin Green
Description
The Ecosystem WG is a collection of 80+ people across 5+ organizations that are passionate about the long-term adoption of Web3 and dedicated to growing the Filecoin, IPFS, and libp2p ecosystems.
We regularly host all-hands meetings to check in on progress and showcase the growth of various developers, applications, storage providers, clients, and communities around the world.
This deep dive features Alan Ransil who leads the Filecoin Green team demonstrating how you can estimate the energy use of Filecoin SPs and check whether they are using renewable energy!
Check out more about Filecoin Green here:

If you, your team, or organization want to be a part of our working groups or would like to present and be featured in our next public All Hands, please reach out to: ateam@protocol.ai.
A
Point
right
is
that
when
you
want
to
understand
what
the
environmental
impacts
are
of
a
blockchain,
if
you
only
see
nodes
in
your
network,
when
they
win
a
block
reward,
then
you
need
a
techno-economic
model
to
try
to
figure
out
how
many
nodes
are
mining
and
what
their
hashrate
is.
But
in
our
case
we
actually
have
proofs
of
what
the
resources
of
every
single
node
are
and
we're
able
to
take
that.
Take
these
unchained
proofs
and
translate
those
directly
into
an
energy
model
which
is
huge.
A
If
you
want
more
information
on
that,
you
can
go
to
the
5.
energy
dashboard
and
what
I'm
going
to
do
now
is
preview,
a
couple
new
features
that
are
coming
up
on
that
dashboard.
So,
for
a
few
months,
we've
had
these
models,
allowing
you
to
see
what
the
energy
use
rate
is.
We
call
it
power
in
in
a
in
energy
land
power
means
your
rate
of
energy
use,
of
course,
in
in
a
in
blockchain
land
power
means
something
else.
A
A
And
so
that
is
one
of
these
graphs
that
you
can
see
on
the
right
here,
you're
going
to
be
able
to
select
a
period
of
time
and
select
either
the
entire
network
or
an
individual
storage
fighter
and
you're
going
to
be
able
to
see
how
much
energy
in
some
have
they
used
over
time.
That's
going
to
be
really
useful
when
we
combine
it
with
the
graph
on
the
graph
on
the
left,
which
shows
the
amount
of
renewable
energy
that
has
been
purchased
by
the
storage
provider
over
time,
so
that
information
is
already
public.
A
But
what
we're
going
to
be
able
to
show
is
just
graphically
really
easy.
What
is
this
ratio
between
the
amount
of
energy
that
you've
used
and
the
amount
of
renewable
energy
that
you've
purchased
and
allowed
people
to
just
see?
Okay,
is
the
storage
provider?
You
know
running
100
on
renewable
energy?
Are
they
running
150?
Are
they
running
50
of
renewable
energy
over
this
time
period?
A
Next,
as
has
been
mentioned,
we
had
a
sustainable
blockchain
summit
at
south
by
southwest
this
went
amazingly
well.
We
brought
people
from
all
over
our
community
and
from
the
crypto
and
and
sustainability
space
in
general,
together
for
a
day
to
talk
about
what
we're
doing
in
follcoin
what
people
are
doing
beyond
the
falcon
ecosystem
and
where
this
this
concept
of
sustainable
blockchains
is
going
so
michael
casey,
the
the
chief
content
officer
for
coindesk
led
a
letter
great
panel
on
the
left.
A
A
There
was
a
storage
provider
panel
that
mark
johnson
led
that
had
this
is
a
jonathan,
hooker,
hidde
hoodland
and
alex
altman,
who
are
three
major
storage
fighters
that
you
may
have
run
into
alex
devries
in
the
in
the
upper
second
from
wright,
started
digi
economist,
and
he
talked
about
his
perspective
on
blockchain
energy
use
olga
on
the
right
talked
about
what
makes
a
good
carbon
offset
as
people
are
striving
to
offset
their
environmental
impacts.
How
do
you
tell
the
difference
between
a
project?
A
That's
doing
a
really
good
job
at
doing
that,
and
one
that
is,
is
just
trying
to
check
the
box
clara
and
juan,
and
I
talked
about
the
amazing
things
the
falcon
foundation
is
doing
to
to
make
the
the
whole
ecosystem
more
sustainable
and
all
in
all
it
was.
It
was
just
an
amazing
event.
We
also,
as
colin
mentioned
now,
have
a
website
at
green.filecoin.io.
A
Please
come
visit
it
and
check
out
all
the
different
projects
that
we're
working
on,
and
you
know,
show
people
there
if
they
want
to
learn
more
if
they
want
to
get
involved.
Also,
please
come
to
our
next
monthly
meetup,
which
is
going
to
be
on
the
5th
of
april
and
we're
going
to
have
some
great
talks
both
from
game
forest
from
from
david
and
charfie,
and
about
immersion,
cooling
for
falcon
storage
fighters
and
what
we're
doing
to
help
follicle
storage
fighters
be
as
energy
efficient
as
possible.
Thank
you.
So
much.
