Bitcoin mining and carbon credits pairing

Daniel Batten described the pairing of Bitcoin mining and carbon credits as an unlikely combination that works. He said this combination is now positioned to make reducing large amounts of landfill methane profitable.

Batten has previously discussed the role of energy sources in Bitcoin mining, highlighting Cambridge research that found hydro power is now the sector’s main energy input, while coal remains prevalent in banking sector energy use here. In a separate keynote in Helsinki, he emphasized the impact of storytelling as a tool to explain Bitcoin's energy landscape, favoring narratives over raw data here. His latest comments add to his broader analysis on energy, sustainability, and communication within the industry.
