Excited to announce @Vespene_Energy’s 1st fundraising round w/ @Polychaincap. This investment will help us turn harmful landfill methane into clean power for carbon-negative Bitcoin mining. Thank you @Aoyon_A’s for your thoughtful article: bit.ly/3zINz2t

Landfills account for roughly 15% of US methane emission. And of the 2,600+ landfills in the US, less than a third have gas-to-energy operations. #SOAR2023 sponsor @VespeneEnergy seeks to fill this gap at no cost to landfills and fuel the transition to a renewable energy future

We will never fully understand the landfill methane problem if we can’t measure the amount of methane being released at landfill sites. Hopefully this next phase of research will add a new layer of transparency to the state of our landfills and bring new awareness to the issue.
ARCHIVED - NASA Climate@NASAClimate

Methane from the waste sector makes up about 20% of human-caused methane emissions. A new project from a nonprofit group, Carbon Mapper, will use @NASA instruments and data to measure emissions from landfills around the globe. Full story ⬇️ climate.nasa.gov/news/3241/nasa…

I'm most looking forward to hearing @adlavee discuss @Vespene_Energy's method of harnessing methane gas from landfills to power BTC mining machines. What are you most looking forward to hearing about Texas Blockchain Summit @txblockchain1 ?? 👂👂

In 2020, over 12 million metric tons of landfill methane were produced from municipal landfills in the US. What happens to the generated landfill methane? A thread:

Methane (an energy source, and a more potent greenhouse gas than C02) leaks out of landfills all over the place. Sometimes, it is be captured and used, but often not. Other times, it just leaks out as methane or is flared into CO2 as a mitigation (uneconomically lit on fire).
Adam Wright@Digital_Ore

Back to the map of the ~1400 landfills in the US with no gas capture system in place. These cover a total of ~27000 acres. At a cost of $40,000 an acre, in total these systems would cost $1.1 billion to install and $100m in annual maintenance. How best to earn an ROI on this? 🤔

This is a map of the 1,404 landfills in the US that do not have methane capture / flaring infrastructure. These landfills hold a total of 1.4 Billion tons of waste. That's the equivalent of 15,600 aircraft carriers that, if placed end to end, would stretch from San Diego to Maine

The world needs a scalable solution, that is deployable today, to reduce our methane emissions and slow climate change, coined a ‘Layer 1’ climate tech solution by our friend @DSBatten Here’s why… 🧵 0/14

"The Buenos Aires landfill emitted 250,000 annual tonnes - half of the city’s total methane emissions." A single city is emitting 500,000 tonnes of methane annually, that's 42m tonnes of CO2e using 20 year equivalent. Priorities, folks. reuters.com/article/climat…
