Here's the Tweet that started the Twitter thread:
1/ Panajachel Municipal BioGas to Bitcoin Proof-of-Concept Project:
  • Power up an S9 BTC miner (13.5 TH/s) at town hall - completed 3/25
  • Power up two S17+ BTC miners (140 TH/s) at the Panajachel's wastewater treatment plant. - Early May deployment @LakeBitcoin #bitcoin

And the next Tweet in the thread:
2/
  • Use mining proceeds to repair Panajachel's [Wastewater Treatment Plant] WWTP digester. Currently, due to cracked seals located on top of the plant's digester, there is not enough pressure to flare the plant's methane emissions.

The takeaway is that these ideas can be feasible at small scale, and don't need to be mega projects, requiring megawatts of power.
Here's an ideal "stranded" energy source. There is methane generated that is not being harnessed due to aging infrastructure. But that methane has value. There's not many other economic solutions for this specific problem instance, other than the solution that implements a min- bitcoin mining operation -- to first fund repairs and then to expand where the methane is used to power the mining op. (with additional plans for the future).
