Hey crypto enthusiasts! 🌟
A new scientific study published in the Journal of Cleaner Production reveals how Bitcoin (BTC) mining can reduce methane emissions. BTC miners can use LFGTE systems that convert methane gas from landfills into useful energy, thereby reducing their environmental impact.
- **Economic incentives:** Bitcoin offers a unique incentive structure that can drive methane mitigation projects without the need for government subsidies.
- **Beyond methane:** This structure can also be applied to other underutilized energy sources such as abandoned oil wells and wastewater treatment plants.
- **Practical example:** In 2023, Marathon Digital partnered with Nodal Power to mine Bitcoin using methane gas in Utah. Additionally, they signed an agreement with the Kenyan government to develop renewable energy infrastructure.
