Peer reviewed!!!
A new peer-reviewed scientific paper, titled An integrated landfill gas-to-energy and Bitcoin mining framework, appearing in the Aug. 29 edition of the Journal of Cleaner Production, demonstrated how Bitcoin mining could reduce methane emissions.
The research paper detailed how Bitcoin miners are uniquely positioned to leverage "Landfill Gas to Energy" (LFGTE) systems that capture and convert methane gas from garbage landfills into usable energy—sequestering the greenhouse gas and reducing its harmful effects on the atmosphere.
LFGTE systems hold great promise but the big thing to me is how they can be leveraged during flaring of nat gas on site of oil fields! Systems have been built to effectively burn all the methane but oil fields do not have much of an electricity demand and data centers wont work since whatever is running has to be able to turn off
