As communities seek ways to reduce emissions and monetize waste, one surprising opportunity has emerged: mining Bitcoin using landfill gas . Methane from decomposing garbage—often flared or vented—can be captured and burned to generate electricity. That electricity can then power high-performance computers to mine Bitcoin, turning a waste liability into a digital asset. ♻️ How It Works Closed or capped landfills still emit methane, a potent greenhouse gas. By capturing it and using a generator, we can: Reduce harmful emissions Produce off-grid electricity Monetize it through Bitcoin mining The energy is fed directly into Bitcoin mining rigs , which validate blockchain transactions and earn BTC in return. ๐ฐ What's the Profit Potential? Let’s look at a real-world pilot project: Marathon Digital Holdings partnered with Nodal Power to mine Bitcoin from landfill methane at a capped site in Utah. Power from gas: 270 kW Bitcoin mined annually: ~0.9 BTC A...
