Elliot David Interview at Consensus: SBP Partners with Crusoe Energy to Drive Methane Mitigation

Each year at the annual UN Climate Change Conference (COP), individual countries are pressured to ramp up their emissions reductions promises and showcase evidence they are taking steps to meet them.

Sustainable Bitcoin Protocol (SBP) and Digital Power Optimization (DPO) have joined forces in a groundbreaking partnership to tackle the energy-intensive nature of cryptocurrency mining. This collaboration aims to enhance the profitability of bitcoin mining through verified clean energy sources while simultaneously expediting the development of clean energy infrastructure.

When you think of bitcoin mining, you probably imagine energy-guzzling computers and crypto cowboys. Join Executives from the Bitcoin mining industry as they share what their companies are doing to drive the clean energy transition, mitigate methane emissions and promote sustainable development.

The Sustainable Bitcoin Protocol (SBP) has started a pilot with waste gas crypto miner Crusoe Energy to refine a methodology to ascertain the environmental impact of such operations.

Crypto miners, like Crusoe, use gas that would otherwise be wasted and minimize methane emissions.

There are hundreds of environmentalists around the world who believe the bitcoin ecosystem could actually help reduce carbon emissions and increase reliance on renewable energy. Renewable energy sources, like wind and solar power, provide inconsistent power to the grids in places like Texas. Bitcoin mining is a flexible load, allowing miners to ramp up and down with the sometimes-unpredictable production schedules of wind and solar.

PALO ALTO, Calif., March 24, 2023--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sustainable Bitcoin Protocol (SBP) partners with BitGo, the leader in digital asset security, custody, and liquidity to launch the first-ever sustainable custody solution for Bitcoin.
