Odaily Planet Daily News: Currently, there is a high demand for natural gas from Bitcoin mining companies and AI data center operators. Mohamed El-Masri, Managing Partner of Hodler Investments and CEO of the tokenized energy trading platform PermianChain, believes that recovering energy from natural gas combustion could present a $16 billion business opportunity. He stated that most of the current demand for natural gas can be met by converting the natural gas produced from gas flaring (a form of stranded energy) into convertible energy for mining operations and high-performance computing. El-Masri said, 'Globally, 147 billion cubic meters of natural gas are flared each year; if this gas were sold on the market, the potential annual sales revenue or cash flow could amount to $16 billion.' El-Masri explained, 'It turns out that the gas valuation for Bitcoin mining or the equivalent price per MCF or MMBtu is 12 times that of any metric used by countries.' Turning stranded energy into financial assets highlights the power of crypto mining and RWA tokenization in promoting sustainability. (Cointelegraph)
