067 Vented Gas vs Flare Gas Bitcoin Mining Explained w/ Daniel Batten
📊 This Waste Problem Could Make Bitcoin Mining Carbon Negative
In this episode of HashrateUp, Jesse sits down with Daniel Batten, Managing Partner at CH4 Capital, to break down one of the most misunderstood topics in Bitcoin mining: vented gas and landfill methane mining.
We explore how Bitcoin mining can turn unburned methane from landfills into ultra-low-cost energy. Daniel explains the difference between flare gas and vented gas, why methane is far more dangerous than COâ‚‚ in the short term, and how a relatively small number of landfill projects could theoretically make the Bitcoin network carbon negative without offsets.
The conversation also covers why low hashprice environments push miners toward stranded energy, how landfill gas projects work in practice, what kind of capex and power pricing makes them viable, and why Bitcoin miners may be the only realistic buyers of this wasted energy globally.
