[Research: Bitcoin mining can help reduce methane emissions] Golden Finance reported that a study recently published in the Journal of Clean Production pointed out that Bitcoin mining may help reduce methane emissions. The study shows that Bitcoin miners can use the "landfill gas to energy" (LFGTE) system to convert methane gas from landfills into usable energy, thereby isolating this greenhouse gas and reducing its harm to the atmosphere. The authors of the paper believe that Bitcoin's global economic incentive mechanism is suitable for capital-intensive long-term projects and provides an innovative solution that does not require government incentives. This incentive structure not only helps to reduce methane emissions, but can also be used to recover underutilized energy, such as wastewater treatment plants and agricultural processing operations. In addition, Marathon Digital (now known as MARA) has begun using the LFGTE system for Bitcoin mining and is working with the Kenyan government to develop renewable energy infrastructure. This study is supported by other related papers, indicating that Bitcoin mining may reduce global emissions by about 8%.
