In the video, Crusoe Energy CEO Chase Lochmiller explains how the company uses excess natural gas from energy operations to power data centers and crypto mining operations. Crusoe uses the Digital Flare Mitigation technology to eliminate natural gas flaring from oil fields and landfills.

“By doing that, not only do we create a massive emission reduction from this previously wasted source of energy, but we can also product ultra-low-cost computing infrastructure by harnessing this otherwise stranded form of energy.”

Crusoe can relocate their data centers to the location of waste sources of energy and use waste methane streams to power the centers. It helps reduce the environmental impact of methane emissions and makes computing more energy efficient.
