Marathon Digital Mines Bitcoin Using Methane Gas from Landfill

Marathon Digital has started mining Bitcoin using methane gas extracted from a landfill in Utah. The 280-kW off-grid pilot project is a collaboration between Marathon and Nodal Power, which raised $13 million in a seed round in August to operate two sites, one of which includes a data center. If successful, Marathon plans to expand its footprint in this area and help landfill operators meet their environmental targets. Other Bitcoin miners, such as Genesis Digital Assets Limited, are also seeking new green generating solutions.

  • EIA Temporarily Suspends Emergency Survey of Bitcoin Mining Industry

    The US Department of Energy has temporarily suspended its emergency survey of Bitcoin mining operators' energy usage. The Energy Information Administration (EIA) will halt its mandatory survey for over a month and keep the data that had already been secured from stakeholders in the Bitcoin mining industry earlier this February. Riot Platforms and the Texas Blockchain Council had previously sued the administration of President Joe Biden, planning to boycott the survey citing that it could cause potential harm to businesses by compelling them to release confidential and sensitive information. The plaintiffs requested a permanent injunction from the court which mandates that EIA first complies with the law before going ahead to request the data.
