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.
