Can Bitcoin mining heat grow food? A Manitoba pilot explores using crypto server heat to cut greenhouse energy costs and emissions.
Bitcoin mining produces large amounts of heat that are typically treated as waste. In cold regions, this thermal output is now being tested as a useful resource.
A pilot project in Manitoba is integrating Bitcoin mining with greenhouse farming, reusing server heat as a supplemental source of agricultural heating.
Liquid-cooled mining systems are generally associated with higher and more stable heat capture, making recovered thermal energy suitable for industrial heating applications.
