Stranded Energy
Mining● Common
Energy resources that cannot be economically transmitted to consumers due to remote location or lack of grid infrastructure. Bitcoin mining can monetize stranded energy—flared natural gas, remote hydro, excess renewables—by converting it to bitcoin on-site.
Technical Notes
Examples: flared/vented gas at oil wells, curtailed wind/solar, remote hydro. Mining provides: demand flexibility, load balancing, monetization of waste. Mobile mining containers can be deployed to energy sources. ESG narrative: reducing methane emissions through flare gas capture.
