🥦 Mining Instead of Gas: Canaan Launches Greenhouse Heating Pilot in Canada!
Mining equipment manufacturer Canaan is initiating a cool "green" pilot project in the province of Manitoba. Now, the heat generated from Bitcoin mining won't just vanish into the atmosphere—it's going to help feed people! 🇨🇦
How It Works:
In partnership with Bitforest, they’ve installed four container modules with 360 Avalon A1566HA servers (3 MW total power) using liquid cooling. Instead of just cooling the chips, the system heats water for industrial greenhouses.
The Numbers Are Impressive:
🔹 90% Efficiency: Almost all the energy is converted into useful heat.
🔹 1 Million Tons of hot water annually for heating the plants.
🔹 $0.035 per kWh: A fixed electricity price makes the project highly cost-effective.
🔹 24 Months — the duration of the pilot to test system stability.
What’s the Benefit for the Industry?
Ecology: Mining becomes "green" and socially beneficial.Savings: No more need for expensive cooling towers (gradirni).Extra Income: Canaan stands to claim a share of profits from reselling excess energy.
Canaan is proving that mining is not just about computation, but also an efficient source of thermal energy for the agricultural sector. If the pilot is successful, we might see a new standard for "smart" mining worldwide.
🌱 Mining + Greenhouses = The Future? What do you think of this real-world sector integration?
