#CeLTiXxX Posted January 30, 2022 Posted January 30, 2022 This company is capable of using animal biogas to mine Bitcoin in a sustainable way. When it comes to obtaining economic benefits with cryptocurrencies, you can dedicate yourself to selling high and buying low or to mine them, the latter putting all your resources at their disposal, which can consume a huge amount of electricity and also contribute negatively to the environment. . Now the Green Data Chain company in Catalonia has been able to take advantage of the excrement of an animal farm to produce Bitcoin, and all in an environmentally friendly way, they report from RTVE. Specifically, they affirm that they have 16 computers working day and night with the energy they receive from the biogas of the excrement of animals such as pigs, which allows them to generate a good amount of Bitcoin on a monthly basis and also contribute to the environment. In this way, they use a doubly green method because, on the one hand, they eliminate the excrements left by the pigs on the farm, which are polluting, and then convert them into clean energy that they can use to mine Bitcoin in these 16 computers. Javi Sorribes, Green Data Chain technician, comments that "consumption is linear: knowing the power that a machine has, you know the consumption that you are going to have for a month or a year." The CEO of Green Data Chain, Jesús Royo, adds that "the fact that we generate our own energy from waste that was a problem is a virtue, which also allows us to understand how mining can be done in Spain in a sustainable way." However, they affirm that each Bitcoin generated is equivalent to planting 565 trees and in fact they have achieved a negative balance of CO2 emissions, thus helping to decarbonize the planet.
