@bradmillscan That amount of gas is 100% already in contract for RNG production. Electricity generation will never be able to compete

"One site in London Ontario produces 9MW which is an appalling volume of gas to burn off every day"
Damn, that is a lot of power!

Received this text from a falconer bitcoiner I just met this week:
"I’ve got relationships with a pile of landfills all over North America & they’re just burning off their methane all day long, if you know anyone who would be interested it would be easy for me to walk them in."

Vespene's co-founders @digital_ore and @adlavee are hosting a webinar March 28th on Methane Mitigation & Energy Utilization At Small Landfills, hosted by @SWANA. Landfill owners/operators are encouraged to join and submit questions! Register here: bit.ly/3JIKS7g

Thanks @jesse_hodl for your thought provoking questions and featuring us on the pod!

The team is growing! We're excited to announce that Merissa Coello (@merissa_co) has officially joined the team as Environmental Program Manager! Merissa has been an invaluable part of Vespene for some time, and we're thrilled to have her on board full-time as we move forward.

This is cool tech for sure, but capture and utilization of methane from a single small rural landfill will have 12x the climate effect and generate renewable energy to boot. #deploydeploydeploy

@DigiEconomist For a bit of perspective, landfills globally emit methane to the tune of 888 metric tonnes of CO2e every 10 seconds. The world has certain priorities, and worrying about jpegs isn't one of them.
English
Only 63 transactions could fit into the block, as the NFT used up the rest of the available space
The carbon footprint of this NFT? Around 888 metric tons of CO2, equivalent to the per passenger carbon footprint of taking a flight from New York to Tokyo and back - 466 times. 2/2
English
The carbon footprint of NFTs on Ethereum wasn’t looking great before The Merge, but it was nothing compared to the latest hype: on-chain Bitcoin NFTs.
Yesterday Bitcoin mining company Luxor mined the largest block ever, containing almost exactly 4MB of data (the size limit) 1/2
English
Targeting methane emissions from unregulated landfills across the country could exceed the administration’s landfill capture goals, generate revenue for small communities and provide a sustainable energy source. Thanks @RealClearEnergy, more here: bit.ly/409JXmL
English
@thetrocro Better to use credits derived from methane mitigation. Measurable, verifiable, and real
English
Everyone gets rich. Everyone feels good. There's tremendous churn and friction within the economy. Lots of "accounting" of all kinds happening. Glossy ESG reports, printed on recycled paper.
No actual carbon reduction.
Full clown.
English
Absolutely zero surprise here.

Thanks @AClimateChanges for hosting @Digital_Ore to discuss our solution to landfill methane mitigation and its role in addressing the climate crisis. Landfill methane is an under-utilized asset that can create value for small landfills and provide energy to the grid.

@AB_Brammer @DSBatten @greenpeaceusa @SenMarkey @RepHuffman Okay, I agree with you there for sure
It's a long way off, but is technically possible
Agree it's positive for energy regardless
English
The increased transparency required in @SenMarkey and @RepHuffman's bill is an important first step to address #Bitcoin’s carbon footprint.
The next step: shifting Bitcoin to an energy-efficient code.

One of the best metaphors to describe Bitcoin mining by one of the best thinkers in the space @Bquittem
English
@Bquittem @thetrocro @WhatBitcoinDid Mountains, mushroom hunting, and Bitcoin, three of my favorite things
English
@Digital_Ore @thetrocro @WhatBitcoinDid I like that one. Very easy to grasp.
and what is it with bitcoiners and mountain analogies 🤣🤔
English
@Bquittem @thetrocro @WhatBitcoinDid If renewable energy development is a mountain, bitcoin mining represents a basecamp to allow you to rest and recover on your way to the top.
English
English
@Bquittem @thetrocro @WhatBitcoinDid I've been using both metaphors. Basecamp is another one that hits home with some people

Thanks @mcjpod and @codysimms for the in-depth discussion. Really enjoyed our conversation, my DMs are open, happy to field any questions about our technology and approach to leveraging landfills as distributed generation assets.
Inevitable podcast@inevitablemcj
Bitcoin is rife with controversy, but today’s guest is using it as a tool to halt landfill methane emissions. mcj.news/avespene @codysimms & @Digital_Ore cover: 🚮 Landfill projects & EPA regulations ⚡️ Biogas & energy 💰 How @Vespene_Energy uses Bitcoin data processing
English
@shad0w239 @thetrocro @Endorsen @DSBatten @HaraldRauter @jyn_urso I don't think it will disrupt the voluntary carbon market, but rather open up a whole new world of project opportunities by combining with carbon credits for additional revenue streams.

I think they shoud even pay the btc at a premium because it's likely too cheap per ton avoided.
What do you say about it, @DSBatten @thetrocro @HaraldRauter @Digital_Ore @jyn_urso
?
₿aseload 🍷@baseload21
Netflix should simply buy OTC #Bitcoin from btc miners which capture methane (landfill, oil&gas). And keep these precious proof-of-work mitigation tokens on their balance sheet... Just sayin'
English
@thetrocro @Endorsen @DSBatten @HaraldRauter @jyn_urso We're deep in carbon offset market. Big things coming
English
@Endorsen @DSBatten @HaraldRauter @Digital_Ore @jyn_urso I’d say buy hashrate and sell the bitcoin. Also, buy the carbon credits direct from Vespene.
English
@Jadki2009 Yes we have and it is definitely a viable space. However, most treatment plants have very high on-site power needs that typically exceed the amount of gas that is produced, and therefore generally the best use is to help power the facility to offset electricity costs.
English
Looking forward to a panel later today with @luigidemeo and @bksmarr. princetonenergyconference.org/program-2022
English
@nz_fabs @DSBatten @lohstroh @thetrocro @NateHawaii The author completely glosses over the landfill sector, which is the area where bitcoin mining will have the largest impact over time from a methane reduction standpoint. Follow @Vespene_Energy to find out more
English
What's your take on this article?
- methane emissions from o&g as little as 0.11% of total human-made emissions
- the biogenic carbon cycle
- generators efficiencies only 40%
