Mining carbon intensity

According to the Bitcoin Mining Council Bitcoin global mining industry’s are utilising electricity with a 63.8% sustainable power mix" this translates roughly 195 gCO₂/kWh .

For comparison the UK live carbon intensity is  

live GB grid intensity gCO2/kWh
   The average USA Grid CO₂/kWh for Texas (where much mining is now located) is 370gCO₂/kWh.
   Some mining is based in Ontario with a very green average of 60gCO₂/kWh such as Blockfusion that is completely powered by water fall !

Bitcoin scope 1,2,3 emissions

Scope 1 - Surprisingly virtually none existent. Once a mining farm is built, it's electricity in - Bitcoin, warm air & whirring noise out.

Scope 2 - Electricity production. 98% of emissions
​
Scope 3 - Mostly from ASIC manufacturing. With an all time total mass of equipment ever made ≈ 74k Tonnes. Resulting in eWaste ≈ 210 t/year
Manufacturing CO₂ ≈ 87.5 ktCO₂e/year
