Distant Heating as Part of Sustainable Bitcoin Mining

The high energy consumption of Bitcoin mining is often criticized. A great opportunity for achieving sustainable Bitcoin mining is to utilize the excess heat from the mining process to warm greenhouses that rely on external heat sources due to their location.


By additionally implementing district heating, it is not only possible to reduce the carbon footprint, but also supporting local energy needs. This innovative use of energy demonstrates how technology can bring both economic and environmental benefits.


There are various ways to establish sustainable Bitcoin mining, including demand-response programs, energy consumption optimization, and the utilization of excess heat. Additionally, constant baseloads with the ability for short-term shutdowns can be a stability factor for any grid, especially in times of increasing renewable energy production.
