A new scientific article suggests that Bitcoin mining could help reduce methane emissions. The study explains that Bitcoin miners can use landfill gas-to-energy systems, converting greenhouse gas methane into usable energy. Researchers argue that Bitcoin mining offers an incentive structure for such long-term, capital-intensive projects. This approach could also be applied to recycling unused energy from abandoned oil and gas wells. Additionally, a 2023 study indicated that Bitcoin mining operations could reduce global greenhouse gas emissions by about 8% by 2030.
